I'm not sure if I ask this question here or general but I'm curious about:

why is it listed under PC Game ISOs and not PC Game Rips?
Its obviously a rip, says so right in the nfo.

Because its in ISO format ie. Bin/Cue, you have to either burn it to CD or mount it as an image.

Its a DVDRip, not the same as a Game Rip, a Game Rip is a game that can be played right from the HD without any installation or CD being needed.

Rip games was made back in the day for those who have dialup connection so they basicly have a simple game without extra videos, foreign language and other that are not needed to play the game.

Basically, because the content that has been removed is not noticeable; likely extra languages or something.

This differs from PC Game Rips because they are usually missing audio or video that is definitely noticeable.
