Trivia

A sign of the times

This compilation was released at the start of the new century when the Millennium Bug was a cause of great concern. Consequently, on the back panel of the jewel case is a disclaimer saying that some games may not be Y2K compatible however the purchaser is assured that '..problems encountered will be minimal'.
