[OFFER] Microsoft Home Collection 1993-2001

DocRetro

Did you ever explore one of Microsoft’s interactive CD samplers back in the day and wished you could try out all the featured software titles? Or in recent years, have you wanted to find them all in one place?
Well, now you can with these Microsoft Home collections. A few of these software titles weren't available anywhere on the internet until now.

To make everything simpler, all product key inputs were bypassed, updates were integrated where possible, and obsolete DRM protections were circumvented.

If you are looking for the software titles originally released under the Microsoft Home brand, get the full "Microsoft Home Collection 1993-1995" and the following software titles from "Microsoft Home Collection 1996-1997":
- Microsoft Return of Arcade (available on the compilation disc image)
- Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide
- Complete Gardening
- Encarta 96 - 1996 MPEG Edition
- CD Sampler (1996-04)


You can get the torrent files for each volume on archive.org:

Wow, those archives are huge.

I was wondering if anyone would ever try to complete those Microsoft Scene collections.

DocRetro

Yes, the volumes are large but people can optionally only get what they need.

The Microsoft Scenes collections are pretty much complete here in the "Compilation" disc image of the "Microsoft Home Collection 1993 - 1995". The only ones missing are the Microsoft Scenes 1.0 Sierra Club Nature Collection which I intentionally didn't include because the superior Microsoft Scenes 2.0 Sierra Club Nature Collection is already here, and the Microsoft Scenes Personal Collection which was just a single OEM floppy disk with samples of images already available on the other collections.

Had noticed these on a couple of well known torrent sites. Stuck out because not the typical hot off the press uploads.

DocRetro

By the way, the torrent files that I've uploaded at those well known torrent sites are the same exact torrent files available at archive.org.
