I'll try to find a place to copy the CD online for free downloads. I certainly won't charge for it, it will be free. I should sort out what operating systems it works on, it is really quite old now. Sorry, we don't even check the dreamingmedia site anymore, or emails to that. alas.»
↑ YouTube comment: «I just copied the contents of the CD up to http://dreamingmedia.com/badmilk.zip It is rather large. Also, it does not run well on any modern computer, alas. But you can give it a try, or if you are tech savvy you can run on a virtual old operating system. Also, because clock speeds are so much faster now, there are some of the transitions that you can't see at all nowadays. You just hear sound effects, and it can be confusing. But then again, the entire game is confusing ☺ If the download activity starts costing me too much ( which I doubt I will be that popular here ) I may look for some other place to put the game. If you know of a place to put the game for free downloads, feel free.»
