Hi there,

Does anyone have "Mario Is Missing!", or the sequel "Mario's Time Machine"?

These were educational games, released for DOS. I have the original floppies, but unfortunately I am unable to install them.

The Time Machine gives me a "piracy" error when I try to run it. Apparently, when I first installed the game, almost decades ago, the installer wrote stuff into one of the install disks as a protection measure -- apparently, I was supposed to run the uninstaller for the protection mechanism to be undone. Boy, what a crappy copy protection systems these guys came up with...

Here is a description of these games, albeit they are lacking screenshots for the PC versions, which looked much better than those for the NES:
