If you can't work out what's gone wrong with LTOI then you can play each game
individually with the following command:

ZIPn/GGAME.DAT

As I remember n ranges from 3 to 5. Each data file can be played with a specific
ZIP version. Try each, one at a time, until it works. I have a little .BAT file
that drives this for me.

There should be no space between the /G and the game data file name. You can
also add /C/W before the /G qualifier to get colour and split screen support.
