It's one of a number of UNLICENSED products that appeared, with this company 
also doing Amiga and Spectrum versions. It's a CD with approximately 3,000 
games and 10,000 SID tunes downloaded from the Internet, with emulators and 
music players for Windows 
and Amiga.

The content (especially the emulators) are now very out of date. It's not worth 
very much. I got mine for about half what it originally sold for, and there are 
better archives out there.
