I've been trying to acquire this version and by that also figure out how the discs look. Did they look like the original release, or were they part of the GUS driver discs with generic labeling? So far I've not seen anyone come forward and said they've played this version, all info is from old posts at Google Groups and GUS FAQ's. It's pretty certain that it did exist in some bundle. I've also looked though people's bundle pictures for clues, but no luck so far.

So do anyone have any more info?

Guess you have found your way back to that 2014 thread you also contributed to 😀

The original disks issued with the GUS Classic would command a hefty collectors' price, I think.
It would be nice to collect all the other games which had direct support for the GUS NOT by patches (Lemmings etc.) There should not be too many. Unfortunately, it cannot be done without violating copyright 🙁

It wasn't from that thread actually (havent read the later posts in it before now), I found it through some hefty Google searching in an old DOS games torrent compilation. Is there a list of games that were exclusively released with the bundle featuring native GUS support? From my extensive research and resources spent on the 3D acceleration list (I'm just missing Moon Racer full version atm), getting hold of even the most rare version is possible if you have patience and persistence.

Do people want some recordings/comparisons?

Having just bought both CYAC and a GUS - yes please 😁
