    Here it is: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqQf4TJSwxe-gXvdShdUEn1tGWXm?e=ldXRbN

    Password for 7z archive is: plus!

    The CD had copy protection which had to be removed. So after installation, to play without CD/mounted ISO, copy the file BicyCrds.eul from CD to installed directory and rename and overwrite as BicyCrds.exe. Similarly, for Puzzle Collection, the Play.exe that it installs may require CD or not run correctly. Play.eul is the real Play.exe that requires no CD. So don't run any titles immediately after install. Quickly copy and rename EUL to EXE and play. Tested on Windows 10 64-bit.

    This is pretty nice AND interesting.

    EDIT: Is there a download link on MEGA or Mediafire or something else?

    xpclient, the password for your file does not seem to be working. Would you please check it. I use a Mac (and VMWare Fusion on it), but the mac can still unzip .7z files, except it seems this one.

    I had to update 7 zip to unpack this when I downloaded it a while back. It's LZMA2 with AES, which needs v17 (I think) or newer to work. I used v19. The old 9.20 version of 7zip that seems to be everywhere in older software won't open this.

    Here's the same ISO in a plain zip file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1dhvbeoxedswq7t/PLUSGMS.zip/file

    The CD includes:

    - The Puzzle Collection (Fringer, Finty Flush, Mixed Genetics, Rat Poker, Lineup, Jewel Chase, Color Collision, Charmer, Spring Weekend & Muddled Casino).

    - Microsoft Bicycle Card Collection (Crazy 8s, Cribbage, Euchre, Gin Rummy, Go Fish, Hearts, Oh Hell!, Old Maid, Pinochle, Schafkopf, Skat & Spades).

    - Pandora's Box (Trial Version) with only one city (New York).


    The Puzzle Collection (10 games) is the same from Entertainment Pack published on year 1997, but Bicycle Card Collection is "new" for me, I had never seen it. Great card games.

    Many thanks!!! @xpclient & @Sacred517

    >> What is so special about it?

    Why would you ask that? Isn't this website supposed to be a catalog of vintage PC software? Why would you turn something down for not being "special" enough?

    You realize you are replying to a post from 2015, right?

    We can't post every single piece of software out there, and I am usually too busy focusing on much less common business applications rather than games. So when someone thinks a game should be posted here, it needs to be at least somewhat historically significant, or of interest to the WinWorld community.
