I had the five-disc version, which came in a cardboard sleeve with
spots for six disk held together with glue that got all over the
discs. I remember being royally pissed off that Bioware (or Interplay)
cheaped out by using a cardboard disc holder rather than splurging for
a multi-disk jewel-case.

The six-disk version that came out later was the one that included the
expansion disc... which now makes me wonder: was that the plan from
the start? Even in 1997, was Bioware holding back content with the
plan on selling it later? They truly were a developer ahead of their
time!

I still have my original discs. The cardboard sleeve is long gone, and
good riddance!
