Hey!  So I'd like to play email xcom again.  I found a place to
redownload the files, but low and behold it tells me it can't find the
cd.....  When I had the game while Hasbro was actively supporting it,
there was no CD.  I never even knew there was a CD you could get.  I
tried burning the files onto a disk, but it doesn't recognize it
althogh it does try to autorun setup everytime I put the disk in even
though the sutorun feature is turned off (but that's another story).

Anyone know how to get a copy that doesn't require a CD?

I know the server doesn't work anymore, but you should be able to snag
the file it sends to the server and email it manually to your opponent?
 Even if I could just play it hotseat, it'd be nice.

Unfortunately I lost my version of the game in a hard drive death years
ago.

Any help out there?
