Reminds me of my first PS1 game, 'Mickey's Wild Adventure', was surprised to find out years later it was a port of a Mega Drive/SNES games.

Most early cd games were just ports with shit quality FMV added and some new music tracks lol.

I just found it funny in hindsight how my first 'next gen' game was unbeknownst to me a port of the previous gen.

Although ironically the reason I found out it was a port was because I saw the MCD port in a shop which itself is a port from cart.

First game on a disc? Wouldn't that be Dragon's Lair?

Dragon's lair was on laserdisc. The youtube video is about the first games on CD.

the killer app for CDs was Star Wars Rebel Assault, at least for the PC
