Updated Re: Old games that had CD Audio tracks? with contributions from Great Hierophant, NewRisingSun, Staticblast, MAZter, and willow (in order of posts). Thank you!

MusicallyInspired, the version of Star Wars - Dark Forces with CD-DA tracks was a rerelease edition having serial number 3064130 and barcode: 0 23272 30641 0, which included Jedi Knight(tm) Special Edition: 3 Playable Levels. (More details: http://redump.org/disc/42089/)

@MusicallyInspired On mobygames.com you can already find scans of the optical media of 4 releases of the game which show the CD-DA logo.

Couple additions:

"Incredible Machine, The - Version 3.0 (pre-emphasis)" is on the list. The first two games also have redbook. Even More is listed already, but 1 and 2 also had redbook, the latter being the same tunes as the 3.0, but possibly reverse panpot. I think 1 and Even More (effectively an expansion of 1) were released separately, I could be wrong. "The Incredible Toon Machine" is also a redbook game.

"Ys II Eternal" is listed. This came with Ys I when released on DVD, so I'm fairly sure they would both be redbook.

"The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain" has a redbook track that doesn't play in-game, but is listenable. Similarly, KQ6 and the King's Quest Collection/RWA all only have "Girl in the Tower" as redbook, nothing else, so that might be worth clarifying. 😀

Added, thanks Spikey!

I think I might be confusing a few platforms. The Incredible Machine 1 on PC CD is probably only the "Even More Incredible Machine" release, some other platforms released it as the original game, some released it as the expansion. Almost all had Redbook, but weren't PC.

Probably safer to remove that if you put it on the list, for now. 😀

Roger that; thanks for the correction.

I bet, those audio tracks are used for the Jedi Knight demo then.

The bizarre little DOS / Win9x game "Ignition" or had another name in germany - has CD audio - or can use another audio CD. I have had problems getting it working on faster systems.

StoneKeep

I think those two tracks are meant as a bonus. They are not used during gameplay as Stonekeep uses FM Synth / General MIDI for its music.

On topic, I think a clearer distinction needs to be made between the following:

1) This game uses CD audio tracks for music during gameplay
2) This game has a bonus CD audio track on the disc, but doesn't use it for music during gameplay

PYST, a parody of MYST, had a track sung by John Goodman, who also starred in the game...

DragonHeart: Fire & Steel (1996) 18 music tracks

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

Magic School Bus Ocean and Earth have audio tracks but they never play in game. Youtube they are ripped so you can listen to them. One would never know the games had such beautiful music!

Virtual Golf (1995) by Core Design inc.

I remember discovering this once on my own, I put a game into a cd player and it started playing something. I don’t recall what it was but it’s fun you dredged up this decades old memory for me. Thanks!

Sega Rally 1997 (pretty good tracks)

I always liked CDMage for its builtin player...
