I borrowed a co(lleague/worker)'s original that were on like six CD-ROMs
around Y2K. It was an OK game. I will pass. I am more interested in the
newer one.

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.
 I have the same version.   I just opened the box, and the disks are
spotless, yours must have come with French Glue.
(A play on the whole American "these colors don't run" thing, presumably
their glue doesn't either.)
 
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!
 I think they knew they would put out an expansion if the game sold well,
and they made a cd holder with space for it just in case.
 
More likely the company that made those cardboard sleeves didn't make 5 slot wallets for discs and the game developers didn't want to pay more for a custom job.
