How to install the game CLAW from Internet Archive (beehaw.org)

Hey guys, Recently I wanted to play Claw but I lost my old cds. So I decided to get the game from Internet Archieve.

When downloaded I got these files from it

CLAW_2018_meta.sqlite
CLAW_2018_meta.xml
CLAW.BIN
CLAW.CUE

Claw_1997_Game_Cover.jpg

I have no clue how to use theses files. If it is possible to convert to an exe, then I might be able to run through bottles.

Thanks for all the help

the bin and cue files are a cd/dvd image. IIRC you can't mount those directly, but you can convert them to iso with bin2iso (there are probably other tools too)

iso file you can mount something like mount -o loop /path/to/my-iso-image.iso /mnt/iso and then pull the files out from there.

As for directly pulling files out from bin/cue.. dunno.

I'd expect linux to have some way to extract a .bin image file or open it in a file explorer, even windows can do that. The .cue can be opened with a text editor, it's just a bit of text indicating where tracks begin and end on said .bin image
