emerald mine in classic original games folder!
Now the EMC collection has been released, you should put Emerald Mine I, II and III by Kingsoft put in the Classic Original Games folder and remove those three sets from the EMC collection! They are much better than the - always buggier - Emerald Mine levelset that still uses the RnD engine! And besides, those three levelsets that are currently in the EMC collection can be played with the RnD engine as well!

I also thought about that. There are some disadvantages of this approach:
- main program archive size due to the complete EM custom artwork
- new players are immediately confronted with low-resolution artwork
- new players are immediately confronted with an "older" game engine
- potential copyright problems of 100% original stuff in the main archive
Maybe it's a better solution to replace the "classic" levels with high-quality, "native" R'n'D levels without artwork, for example those from Paul Collins.
I don't really know a solution at the moment... :-/

Yes, you're right. But then you should at least convert all the Kingsoft games (I also came across some 'professional' game which was by Kingsoft as well) to the RnD level format, using the RnD engine. And that wouldn't be really bigger in file size either, I think.
