Does someone know when was the CD-ROM first used as a mean to sell a game? I ask, because there's lots of old dos games I'd like to buy, but they are most likely sold in floppy disks, and I don't have a floppy disk drive anymore. So I'd liketo know which games I could buy that will come in a CD that I can install.
Thanks. 😀
it's easier if you look up the games you want to buy on moby games then going the other way round. It's not like every game company started to use CD-Roms at the same time.
The first one I remember was Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective

The 7th Guest was another early CD game.

KQ5 predates both. It gets a little difficult to date some of them because the first ones often had prior floppy releases. Many of the first CD-ROM games had CD audio tracks for sound, necessitating the games be distributed on CD.
You meabn the talkie version, right? because original 16c Loom came in floppies.

one of the first games that was designed and selled as CD-ROM only was definitively rebel assault.
stellar 7 was released in 1991 with one huge cd audio track.
There were several from around 1991-1992. I don't know if there are any earlier.
Cool, thanks for the replies! Any more suggestions?
