    Default List of CD based games with the ability to play the soundtrack from the CD?

    Is there a website out there that lists some (or all) of the CD based systems that allow you to listen to music from the game by putting the game cd in a cd player? I tried google and search but got no solid results...

    It's hit and miss. Depends on the Saturn port. Tons of Saturn games use redbook audio, though. I used to carry around Virtua Fighter in my cd player for when I felt like listening to some music while going to/from work.

    Kind of random, but Betrayal at Krondor (PC) will play on a CD player. Some good tunes on there. Long ago when I played pnp d&d that CD was often playing in the background.

    I decided to try a few of my PS games. Here's what I've found thus far:

    Afraid Gear: Plays some battle music, some menu music, and the Bar theme twice, once at a low volume for some reason. Weird.

    Bakumatsu Roman: Has 2 tracks, but both are blank.

    Choro Q Ver. 1.02: Entire soundtrack can be played.

    Choro Q2: Contains the Choro Q Town theme and a remix of the theme song that I don't recall being in the game.

    I'll update this list once I find more.

    It seems some Saturn and Dreamcast discs had humorous audio warning messages as audio tracks on their discs. Seaman and Magic Knight Rayearth specifically come to mind.

    And of course a lot of Sega CD games used CD audio.

    My understanding is that although some of the earlier releases are that way, later CD rereleases are not.

    IIRC, Doom for the Saturn has this "feature".

    Loaded on the Saturn will let you listen to some PWEI goodness. I think Quake would play too. If you ever find a master list post it up, I'd love to see what was there.

    HEre are some of the ones I know:

    - Astal (Saturn)

    - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PlayStation. Features a funny warning message from Alucard before the song)

    - NiGHTS into Dreams... (Saturn)

    - MegaMan 8 (PlayStation. Not sure about Saturn version, though)

    I agree, theres that one slow song on there, that doesn't go with the theme of the game at all, that makes me laugh.

    There you go, the soundtrack of "Hard Rock Cab", the Playstation version of Quarantine (password is hardrock):
    http://www.zshare.net/download/21223698817dd5/
    It's really one of the best videogame soundtracks I've ever heard, perfectly fitting the crazy postapocalyptic setting of the game.

    I'm thinkin about starting to write a list and gathering info on redbook enhanched cd-based videogames, but I' not too sure if there's enough interest in such a thing Oo

    Grand Theft Auto (PC) will work in a cd player. Nothing like Head radio, and all the other weird stuff they stuck on that game.

    The Ultimate Quake (PC) collection will work like that too.
