another version: Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection
June, 1997

SOUND
Many of the games support advanced sound playing capabilities. 
To take advantage of these capabilities you must have a sound
card and Windows 3.1, or Windows 3.0 with multimedia extensions.

I currently am working on getting all parts working.. some parts were corrupted on the floppy disks.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If an when I can get all 4 Disks working in full. floppy disk corruption is making it hard to do.... Disk 1 - 2 - 3 seem to be fine.  Disk 4 is well needless to say damaged. disk 5 is no where to be seen - Notes indicated WEP 1-2-3-4-5 (enclosed).

I have all 4 disks ready to go, tested and work-install-play fine in Windows 7. 
If there is any wants for them.  I will RAR all together and upload for - The only problem with these old games is So Very Hard to STOP playing. 
------------------------------------------
This is the best list I can come up with.  Some disks duplicate others.
