The multimedia stuff from the first Virgin release that was only accessible in Windows 95 or earlier...
There is a folder MEDIA on the CD which I uploaded as it is. You can play the .MOV files with VLC. The PIC files seem to be pictures. I got no idea how to open them.
There are some other files on the CD to install Quicktime and other crap which I omitted because they won't run anymore on operating systems of today.

The whole thing's brilliant, innit? Once upon a time I extracted all this from my copy and I tried to make a working equivalent to play on PC, but it had to have very limited capabilities. It ended up being no more than the equivalent of a sampler with snippets and previews. Is there a genius out there who can make a Windows 10-compliant getup of this with everything working the way it did originally? That'd be cool.
I mean to say, all true blue Stones aficionados need to have this accessible in their collections, not trapped and inaccessible in another dimension on the multimedia CD. That's unless you're still running Windows 95. C'mon "start me up" (pun intended) again.

Couldn't you just run Windows '95 in a virtual box inside of another operating system ??

That's interesting, and worth a try if it can be done. Can you explain how to do it? This could simplify the whole thing for everybody. Here's hoping.
