    Default Games that play something when in a cd player?

    I was wondering which games play something when you place them in a cd player. The ones I know of are:

    - Sonic R (Saturn) - Plays all of the game's music
    - Skies of Arcadia (DC) - Aika makes a comment about how the the cd is in the wrong device and vyse needs to get going (Something to that effect, been years since I heard it)

    Any others people can think of?
    I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!

    I never knew that, that is cool. The only thing i know like that is there are certain dvds that have game demos built into them. For example the king arthur dvd has a xbox demo of the king arthur game built into it.

    Most SEGA Saturn and SEGA CD games have something to play when you put them in a CD player. Usually it is a sample of their soundtrack or a complete soundtrack. A few SEGA Dreamcast games warn the user not to put it in their CD player. I'm fairly certain all of the Shenmue discs had warnings about putting the game in the CD Player.

    Outside of console games, a few SEGA PC titles allowed for their soundtrack to be played in a CD Player. Unfortunately this caused problems when the games were played on Windows XP for some reason.
    I have a sig?

    I put Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits for Playstation in a CD player, and it played the announcer's audio for the characters in Mortal Kombat 3. WHAT THE.

    Dracula X for PC Engine had a cute little audio clip with Maria and Richter telling you not to play Track 2 cause it contained computer data that could blow out your speakers. Also Castlevania Symphony of the Night had one with Alucard telling you not to play track 1 as well, then it went into a remix of one of the songs from the game. Most Japanese Sega Saturn games I own have some sort special warning as well besides the usual game soundtrack. I remember Mortal Kombat for Sega CD had like every mix of the Immortals Mortal Kombat Theme as bonus tracks on the disc also. I could go on forever about this really but yeah it was awesome when they used to special junk on the discs, I actually kinda miss it.

    ^ Was just going to mention SOTN.

    Offhand, the PlayStation strategy game Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena will play all of the background music tracks as well as the three "death scream" sound effects.

    Wild 9 for the Playstation has the OST playable from the CD. It's actually very good imo too.

    This article lists quite a few. Checking my music library, there's also soundracks for Dark Wizard (Sega CD), both Ecco games (Sega CD), and Tail of the Sun (PS1). Also, check this thread for more PlayStation games.

    Most Dreamcast games had a female voice stating "This disc is intended to be used only with Sega Dreamcast." I remember Tony Hawk's Pro Skater had the same message, only Tony Hawk said it.

    In addition to most of the Sega CD and Saturn libraries, every Neo Geo CD game has redbook audio. I've been tempted to buy Samsho 2 on CD just for that awesome arranged soundtrack.

    My first disc-based system was a Playstation, and my first game for it was Tomb Raider. Blew my mind when I put it in my CD player and heard all the music, plus dialogue tracks.

    Mega Man 8 plays the credits music
    Power Move Pro Wrestling plays all the music (all 3 or 4 songs)
    Tekken 2 plays the credits music

    Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat will play all the games music. I'm not sure if this is the PC/PSX version only or both PC and PSX. I owned the game for both systems(I still own the PSX version. Need to play this game again sometime.)

    Warcraft for PC will play all the games music.

    Other than ones that have already been named like Brigandine and SotN. I can't think of any others, and truthfully haven't even tried it on all my games.

    Add Puzzle Fighter for Playstation (And other versions perhaps)

    There was an instrumental version of Sakura's song that I don't believe was heard in the game.

    Also, Loaded had the entire soundtrack on it.

    Hell, being able to copy the music from CD to Cassette when I was young is what probably got me into game music in the first place. (Ridge Racer is another good one)

    When I put Burning rangers in my PC there was wall papers I could download and use. Magic Knight Rayearth has a comical warning that it is for use only on the saturn. I can't remember exactly what it says.

    Silhouette Mirage and Guardian Heroes on the Saturn play their entire OSTs when inserted into a CD player. They can also be listened to on the Saturn's main menu.
    In Heaven, everything is fine.

    Since nobody's just come out and said it, pretty much every single PC-Engine CD game has the warning on track 1, and the entire CD-ROM soundtrack (minus any chiptunes i.e. the pre-boss music from Dracula X) on tracks 3 to the next to last track.

    You know, I'd like to find a stereo crap enough to play damaging frequencies and run a PC-Engine disc through it just to show it who's boss. I'm afraid that'd just damage the speakers though ;-;

    You can put Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast in your computer drive and get free wallpapers.

    Sonic R for Saturn and PC plays the music in the game in a CD Player.

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for Sega CD gives you some track about don't put the disk in here, it may damage it.

    We used a Warcraft 2 CD for background music when me and my friends in college had a chess competition. It set the perfect atmosphere.
