Because of the wide range of disk formats and methods of running the individual software titles, all the disks have been compressed onto CD and have an easy-to-use front-end to select titles and unpack them. [We use DMS archives] However, because of this, the CDs are also ideal for mounting on a BBS system for users to download disks.
The original double-CD pack contains over 1800 disk archives from 1988 to 1993 (disks 1 thru to 2300, some were withdrawn).
The first sequel, the 'Continuation', kicked off at disk 2303 and went as far
as 2800 with 500 megs of data, and had an improved search facility. With the
sequel CDs you can unpack any disk from that CD and the previous ones, which
has proved very useful. Several special collections of disks were also
included - the Amigan set, the Amiga Amateur Radio User Group, Amiga New
Zealand User Group archives and the complete-at-time-of-print Assassin's Games
collection of over 140 disks.

The 1994 sequel, Phase 4, simply followed on with disks 2801 to 3351. Again, full search and index for previous disk archives on previous CDs is possible.
