Roberta Williams Anthology

Through my week-of-good-fortune, I've been able to find the Roberta Williams Anthology at merely E 2,50 in a second-hand store in a village called Best.
Unfortunately it came without any documentation, there's no box or booklet or anything. What am I missing and where can I find something to replace it?

Nice find. The RWA was essentially the 2nd KQ collection with the first chapter of Phantasmagoria. I am not sure what was included for Phantasmagoria, but there was some documentation of the history, which included this timeline. For the game documentation you can use the manual that came with the 2nd KQ collection. The third collection came with a PDF of the 2nd and Sierra had it available on its FTP for download. The FTP seems to have gone away when the official forums went down. I have most of the contents of the FTP for the classic games here. Here is a link to the manual for you.

Remember, the SHP installer for the 2nd collection should work for the RWA, with the exception Phantasmagoria. I have not been able to confirm this, but have heard that it does from people that have the Anthology. If you try it, let me know if it works for you.

Installation went without a hitch, and Murder House works great so far!

Did you use the SHP installer?

Nope, just installed it on my Win 98 upstairs. I could try it here but we haven't yet fully recovered from the last viral attack.

I'm better, but the PC isn't. It caught a virus. We chucked it off, but Vista's now scanning itself a lot.
