If anyone has any interest in the sealed copies of the GT Software release of Corridor 7 on CD-ROM (see attached images) available online really should avoid it if you want the complete Corridor 7 CD experience, it has NO redbook audio at all despite it being on CD-ROM.

The README.1ST file itself informs you that the CD-ROM doesn't contain CD audio.

I checked the box everywhere and theres no mention of it being shareware or anything like that yet the back of the box still says in bold yellow letters, "Full CD Quality Soundtrack."

Edit: Added pics of CD and case. Thanks for the suggestion K1n9_Duk3!

I didn't know id was licensing out their FPS game engines to 3rd parties even that far back.

I think a photograph of the CD itself might be helpful as well, just in case somebody comes across a loose CD. Or maybe you got ripped off and the "sealed" box you bought was really just a re-sealed box with the wrong CD in it.

Done. Thanks for the suggestion. The factory seal was period correct and definitely not a re-seal.

I think they had a particular arrangement with GT Interactive. They're also the ones who published Keen 6. (GT was bought by Infogrames/Atari, which is why there's no chance we'll be seeing Keen 6 again anytime soon.)

FormGen also published Keen6. I think GT distributed that CGA-only release though

Oh, right, FormGen was bought by GT. I forgot that step.

Even before that, Apogee used the Commander Keen engine for Bio Menace.
