The scuffs may indeed seem minor but they may be at a point on the disk that is critical. Remember the DVD drive is more sensitive to this than CD drive. You can buy disk cleaning kits but I personally have never tried them.
As I mentioned before, have you tried running the game from the hard disk with the CD inserted in your old Mac and then try running another copy of the game copied to the hard disk on your eMac and connecting via LAN to your old Mac for network play (by the way if you don't have a switch you'll probably need a crossover cable). You said it works when played from the old Mac and by doing this you'll find out 1/ if it works then your eMac can play Warcraft 2 and the problem is related to read problems on the eMac with the disk. 2/ if it still crashes Classic then it's not the CD but instead some other problem. By the way my son can play it under Classic on his iBook (combo drive). We don't have any eMac's so maybe the difference is there somewhere. Another thing that makes my son's disk unique is he bought it off some guy overseas who had it for sale in an overseas games forum. When it arrived it wasn't even an original but instead a burnt copy. So without meaning to my son had bought a piece of Warez (illegal copy) but at least it did work. But somehow I don't think this is related to your problem. -- All the best Greg Sharp President/Webmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Australian Mac Users Group (AUSMUG) http://australian.macusersgroup.org On 2/5/05 2:21 AM, "Rosie Cable" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The disc has a couple of barely obvious scuffs on it, but I wouldn't > say that it is badly scratched.
