The Adventure Company/Detalion and LK Avalon released CD and DVD versions of Schizm: Mysterious Journey. The Wiki article for the game enumerates a number of differences in gameplay including elements not available in the CD-ROM version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizm:_Mysterious_Journey

Wing Commander IV for sure, way better DVD quality MPEG video than the CD release. Wing Commander III might have had a DVD release like that as well but I'm not sure.

I think WC3 for Windows was just included in the Kilrathi Saga, and most likely no independent release was ever made

Quite a few titles had DVD re-releases that were exclusive to DVD-ROM drive purchases, so there's probably at least a dozen or so, though I suspect that some of those releases were multi-title ones, with more than one game on it.

Quite interested to get them. A lot of them probably came with those early SB+DVD packages

I dont know too much about this, but I do have a few games where there was a DVD release later and instead 3 cds you only have to use 1 DVD. The lord of the rings two towers game did this. I do recall that some games had a reel magic version but i bet those are impossible to find.

Not sure if that counts, but I remembered Age of Empires Collectors Edition. It contained AOE1, AOE2 and each one’s expansion packs (Rise of Rome and Conquerors). Too bad it feels more like a downgrade since there is no audio tracks to play on each game, AOE1 has only the MIDI music and AOE2 has no music at all. Oddly the CD soundtrack (most of it at least) is included in the disc, but in wav format.
Classic Ubisoft and their half assed products.

journey man project 3 better resolution for fmv with dvd version.

blade runner dvd, just four cd on one dvd but same game, same fmvs, same resolution.

I saw The Daedalus Encounter mentioned in the linked original thread, as well as the first Command & Conquer. I think we can categorize C&C as nonexistent, both as an actual release and as a master or build floating around (right?), but I see more mentions of Daedalus Encounter, but no actual pictures or info. Anyone knows anything about it? The brand and type of DVD OEM it came with?
