Comment (by Tkachov):

 They didn't install the game:
 > I just copied all files from three CDs to one local folder

 TL;DR: Install the game, then add all of the files from CDs into the
 installation folder -- and it would work.

 ----

 Can confirm that you get these (The Feeble Files, Demon in my Pocket, ...)
 "unknown variants" if you'd try to "Add Game..." from a directory with
 files from the CDs.

 However, SETUP.EXE (from CD №3) still works fine even on latest Windows.
 ScummVM will correctly identify the game then and you could even launch it
 and see the menu.

 BUT ScummVM does not read files from CDs, so it will crash when trying to
 start a new game. If you would add the files from CDs to the files of game
 installed, then it would work.
