Conditions Governing Access
The contents of each CD in this collection are openly accessible. Because these materials were intended for public distribution, the disc images in this collection have also been made downloadable through the Video Game History Foundation's digital library. Researchers can use the disc images to access files in their original formats, or files that can't be displayed in-browser; however, the Video Game History Foundation cannot provide support for these raw files.
Historical Note
The cover of this CD accidentally uses the logo for the game studio Maxis, which had nothing to do with Warhammer: Dark Omen. This might have happened because Maxis was purchased by Electronic Arts in 1997, and some redundant Maxis staff were assigned to work on Electronic Arts projects during the transition in ownership. Jeffrey Feil, a technical support lead at Maxis, recalls being assigned to produce publicity materials for other Electronic Arts titles during this period; it is possible the wrong disc template was used for this CD.
