Obligatory first post, sorry for how awkward this might be to read.
There's this relic of a game that I used to play called Video Game Tycoon, and I've recently tracked down the ISO for Gold Edition with me trying to track down Diamond Edition. I have no idea what the differences are between the two, so there's that. You can find it on the Wayback machine, but I won't post any links to it. Now, the ISO I tracked down still has SecuROM and despite my best efforts, I was unable to crack it. I'm too poor to afford one of the few disks that I found as well, so I'm looking for someone who might already have the disk or has a bit of extra cash and feels like spending it on what might just be nothing.
There's a possibility of a plethora of unused content, I know the game was rushed out the door in 2007, its final compilation seeming to be from October 10th 2006, with some of the files dating back in July of 2005, judging by the Setup Builder 5 log left on the disk. There appears to be 3820 files to look through, with a large majority of them seemingly nonsensical to me and not seeming to relate to anything I played with on my old desktop in 2008.
I've also tried to track down the original owner of the company who made this, one Robert C. Rossow, but the two emails I got my hands on are from long dead email services, the phone number I managed to find does not seem to be in use and the company(GAMESweet Software, Inc.) collapsed sometime in early to late 2013 judging by the Wayback archives we have of the website.
Please, my sanity basically hinges on this, the mystery of this game and content I swear I had never seen in the game but saw in the files has pursued my dreams for nearly 5 years now.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
