A fine project Chris, a pity your enthusiasm was doused by a picky computer.
Harald already gives the reasons, here's my suggested attempt at solution:

Copy & paste in ALL the games, then you'll have a 20meg book (or 30 or 40....
but gees, you'd think 10meg'd be plenty).

Best of luck, report your results?

See Ya
