If you want, send an e-mail to thsniper at bellsouth dot net, and I'll 
send you the game.  Its a little over 5 megs zipped.  If you can't get 
it via e-mail, your welcome to create a user on my board and ftp in and 
search for stygian1 thru 4.zip.  You get full access on the first login, 
so, once you create the user, you can log off and ftp in.  Its in 
/warez/owarez.  

I've only had that game for a few years.  :)

Oh, and I know it works, as I unzipped it and started up a Win95 virtual 
PC, and was able to play it... Wow... memories!!!  :)

I have a few other oldies online. Eye of the Beholder III, Lemmings, 
Lemmings II, Gunship 2000, Strike Commander and Speech Pack, Sim City 
Classic, Star Control II, Specter, Ultimate Underworld II, Wilson Pro 
Staff Golf, PGA for Windows, Risk for Windows and oh yea... Xwing Space 
Combat Simulator...  Just to name a few.  :)

If I could spend a couple of days and re-setup my old 250 meg tape 
drive, I could restore a whole bunch more.  :)

Those were from my THG days.  >;-)
