Judge Dredd
Descent 3
Daikatana
Phantasmagoria
Phantasmagoria 2
American McGee's Alice

How many discs were the original releases on?

 

[DominionSeraph]

Alice was on 1 CD, but IIRC it came with another bonus disc. (corrected, Alice is 2 disks)
Phantasmagoria was 7.

The entries in the MobyGames database typically have scans of the discs, so you could check that way.

I have the original 11th hour disks at home, and I seem to remember it having 4. I'll check when I get home if I remember. I know that Under a Killing Moon had 4 CDs when it was released, which was a heck of a lot at the time.

Phantasmagoria was on 7 CD's.. man that was huge for the time.

Thanks everyone.

11th Hour

4.

Why are you asking?

Phantasmagoria was on 7 CD's.. man that was huge for the time.

It's still not small. Of course, we must remember when CD-ROMs first came around, many manufacturers were using audio tracks on the CD for music/sound. Also many computers couldn't run the kind of video decompression in real-time that even a cell-phone can today. So video wasn't compressed nearly as well.

Have "Alice" right here. Got it back when it was released. Seems to have two cds.
I really must get round to actually installing it and playing it sometime.

How many floppys was Darkside of Xeen?

Have "Alice" right here. Got it back when it was released. Seems to have two cds.

One's a soundtrack.

Baldur's Gate was 5 CDs.

I own the original discs of 11th Hour, Descent 3, Daikatana, and Alice. They are all sitting next to me in binders as a matter of fact.

11th Hour = 4
Decent 3 = 2 (3 if you count the Mercenaries expansion disc)
Daikatana = 1
Alice = 2

You're right. Just tried installing it and it asks for disk 2. Damn, I could've sworn it installed off of 1.

Now where's my disk 2...

Dman, I've had most of those...
