I have Bob II on an older computer of mine and would like to transfer the game over to my newer one. Unfortunately I no longer have the disk (figured years ago that I would no longer need it so I tossed it). Just now saw that 2.13 came out a while back and want to give it a go. Can I simple copy all of the game files onto a CD and load it into my newer computer or do I need the original disk to do that? I'm guessing I probably can't do that but figured I'd ask. Any help is appreciated.

If not, where is the cheapest place to get/download the game again?

Sorry to be so long replying, if you're still around. The game can be had for $20 at A2Asimulations,
I believe. However, you must know this: the last OS for which it works reliably with full functionality is
Win7, and for v2.13, it really wants a 64 bit machine with over 4Gigs of RAM, and a serviceable gamer
vidcard. The free v2.13 patch download has lots of tips for getting the system running smoothly,
it is best to download that and read the wrapper files to see if you will have a successful installation.

You won't be able to get it to run with a swap of files (unlike, for instance FS:SDOE) as the cd creates
some registry entries which are required.
