Actually, while I empathise with the idea that since these games are no longer available to buy new it is OK to release them as "abandonware", it is simply NOT legal to distribute them without the copyright owner's permission - and Underdogs certainly does not have that permission for Discworld 1.

I simply can't understand why the copyright owners of these games don't re-release them again - you only have to look at the prices some of them fetch on eBay to see that it would be worthwhile producing another run of their games.
