I have an old laptop with no CD-ROM drive that I want to take on
vacation. I connect a USB drive to install programs. I'm wondering if
it's possible to somehow play Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 on this machine
without a CD-ROM drive. I can install it, but it only goes as far as
the opening screen, and no further, presumably because it can't find
the CD. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There's a couple of ways around this. The first is to use a CD-ROM
emulation program such as Daemon Tools. The free version of this will
allow you to mount up to four images of CD-ROMs as if it were an actual
drive. It also emulates various copy protection schemes that make it
work with most games. You can get it at:

You'll have to create an image of the disc first. If you want this
capability built into Daemon Tools you'll need to purchase a copy. The
free version doesn't have this capability. But there is a free program
that will let you do this:
