I presume you're asking where it could be downloaded from.  I've never seen FDI or HDI images of the game anywhere.

I have the original game (http://www.sognadigitalmuseum.com/gallery/collections/jg/brocken5.jpg), and the seller was kind enough to supply a copy on 3.5" diskettes in addition to the original 5.25" disks, but the disk format is different and unreadable on a standard PC.  There may be tools that let you do it though via low-level floppy disk access routines.  I tried EditDisk and couldn't get it to work.  (It may require PC98 hardware running Windows 95.)

If someone knows how to create a FDI file from a PC98 diskette using a standard PC floppy drive please share your knowledge! If not, kudos to anyone who uses their Google-fu and finds a good how-to site or walkthrough on doing it with some simple tool like EditDisk.

Found as a pair of .FDD files - converted them to .FDI with Virtual Floppy Image Converter (http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/win95/util/se151106.html). I included the original files and original file names just in case.

You, sir, are a hero of the highest caliber.  +1 rep.

Actually, if we could, Brocken wouldn't be my concern.  I'd be all over trying to port BTR to Windows.
