I used Blindwrite from VSO software on my Runaway originals, to create 3 .iso (technically .b5t/.bwt files) files. Then I used Daemon Tools (as Bresto suggested) to mount the disk images and play. I solved the problem with Runaway always asking for disk1 by creating three 'virtual' drives in Daemon Tools and mounted all 3 cd images so I'd never need the cd's again to play.

Step 1: get Blindwrite:

Step 2: use Blindwrite to create image files

Step 3: get Daemon Tools* to mount those images and play:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc

*Preferably version 3.47 or before, I see there's some talk about them having spyware (?) now.

Anyway, there are other programs that do both functions but basically you need to extract an images from your originals then use the images to play the game. Alcohol 120% is another program that extracts images like Blindwrite but I've had better luck w/bw and it's smaller overhead.

Good luck, hope it helps!

I know that some games like Tex Muprhy 3 and 4, now have patches which will allow you to copy the game to DVD, so you don't have to worry about disk swapping, but does anyone know if there are any utilities out there to be able to copy RUNAWAY and/or NIGHTLONG to DVD?

I would appreciate any help, and I am sure that a lot of other people would as well.
