Oddly, both sets of disks for these games did not work because the center hub spun freely from the magnetic media! As a test, I put a drop of CA (superglue) where the center hub meets the plastic and I was able to load Bobo and copy it, however, the index mark is way off from where it should be. I have never seen this issue before, but gluing the disk seems to work.
There is thread here, where someone wrote about same problem with floppy. Wrong index position may be problem by protections using track read. But I guess that shifting of track can be done in image.

Maybe tehre are different disks around? Mine is a two disk set.

So, it seems that we can have good STX images of Ocean edition even if Brume will be not able to make good image of disk 2

The game needs two disks which seem to be double-side formatted. But...
- SuperCard Pro archives only one side on each disk.
- At last, I imaged both disks with Kryoflux: this time, they do work with Steem. No problem at all, the game is playable. Since the second disk has a bad track (track 29.1), I'd prefer not spread it publicly until I manage to recover it. I tried to clean it several time, but the bad track is still there. Will try again.

- SuperCard Pro archives only one side on each disk. See the pictures below. So the game doesn't boot at all.
