What you need is the GAMES FOLDER. That is the one you need to keep same games you had. You will have to go into the configure and set the directories to what they are after you set up the new TWGS. example: say you were c:/twgs and you moved to d:/twars, in the config for each game it points to the file to where the game is. This will will have to be set to the new location d:/twars.
Also if you have a menu file and descriptions, you will need to move the DESC folder also to keep your game descriptions. For the menus INTRO.ANS and DESC.ANS it would be in the root TWGS folder these files would have to be moved also. I am 99% sure of this as I have been having a nasty problem and have to re-install TWGS about once every two weeks. BACK UP OFTEN lol.

An easier way to make sure you have everything you need to bring your games from one computer to another is to go into your tedit with the server off, go down your games list one by one and export those games. They will show as gamea.twa in your eis/twgs/games/tw1,2,3,etc. Once you find them, simply import them into your new twgs. They should be as you left them on your other computer with nothing lost.

When you export the games,It does not copy the players stats or anything just the game settings and edits. And not ALL the edits either.
And you will have to bang them all over.

When you export a game, so long as everything is checked, everything gets exported.
