LTOI 1 is more or less complete, with only a couple of items and props left
out (the most crucial is the number of the radio station in Ballyhoo).

LTOI 2 doesn't come close.  Activision decided to make a little extra cash
at the expense of Infocom devotees.  In addition to missing the hint book,
LTOI lacks the hilarious credit card applications that came with Bureaucracy,
the method for hailing a cab in Sherlock, and...I can't remember what else,
but it's missing a LOT.  And get this: The CD-ROM version has Journey,
Arthur, and Shogun on it, but the disk version doesn't.  Never could figure
out why they did that.
