Question: Are most of the Apple games available on the 'net the
originals, or the cracked versions? In my limited experience, they're
the cracked ones. I'd say (with my Data Preservationist hat on), that
until they're all archived in their original forms, the need is still
there. However, the Players (people who just want to be able to play
the games, which I believe have been the dominant force behind many
preservation efforts), don't really care.
