I have not seen this (sixth edition) version of the HCW (How Computers Work, Sixth Edition) complementary CD-ROM anywhere on Archive.org, so I will upload it here. This is the disk that has the Unrealty Client on it, along with the HCW locale for Unrealty. The HCW locale features a virtual avatar of Ron White, the author of the How Computers Work series of books.   Unrealty was a virtual environment that made use of the Unreal Engine. Developed by Perilith Industrielle, the software allowed real-world locations to be rendered using the Unreal Engine so that one could either explore the location, visualize building plans, or build interactive 3D tours. The maps, called locales, could be navigated as with any other Unreal map. The website and software were active between 1998 and 2002. Perilithvito on the Oldunreal Forums have done a hell of a job preserving the software and resurrecting the Unrealty website. Unrealty does run on VMware Player under my Windows 7 Guest with 3D acceleration enabled. On that guest, Unrealty supports with software mode or Direct3D (no OpenGL, which is weird considering the UT99, which Unrealty is based on, does). Performance-wise, it runs very well.  Unrealty  https://www.unrealty.net/ The Oldunreal Forum Post (The mostly complete archive wouldn't have been possible without Perilithvito's contributions.
