Capital Punishment for the Amiga came out on floppies, and that came out in 1996. I think that was the last major floppy release for the Amiga for that matter (Napalm, Wipeout 2097 and so on all came out on CD).

As for DOS games, didn't Descent come out on floppies in '95?

Back in the day I had the CD release of Xcom and my buddy had the floppy one. The only significant difference I recall is the CD's animated intro. If they improved the music it would likely have been available as a patch for the floppy version. There was no red book audio or anything like that.
Quake 1's demo was available as a pile of floppy disks.

I moved Q1 (full version) from one PC to the next with floppies. ;-). Still better than the serial connection we had.

So I wasn't mad for thinking Shodan was a guy for years? Vindication!

Have info/knowledge of a GOG.com game and the wiki doesn't already have that info? Worry not friend citizen, now you can be a hero and add to the well of knowledge that the GOGwiki is. Don't hesitate, add your knowledge today.

For more information contact your nearest propaganda office, or an active member of the community.

P.S. Rambling as usual, feel free to ignore the Starship Troopers tone I tried to inject in the post
P.P.S. But if you do have information about the GOG.com games, add it.

You transferred PAK1 on floppies?! That's hard core. :D

The compressor of Kings!

We started with something like 8 floppies (we needed to transfer 32 files) and finished with one! The broke during the transfer. m

Oh GOD yes, the CD version of that game is terrible for the cutscenes alone. The original rotoscoped animations still rule and have aged pretty decently I will admit. I am not sure about the PC CD version but the Sega CD version of the game did provide some voice acting and CD audio music which sounded pretty good actually.

Loom (floppy): EGA 16-colors only and MIDI sound.
Loom (CD): Audio-CD soundtrack and VGA 256-colors.

The Secret Of Monkey Island (floppy): EGA 16-colors and SoundBlaster FXs with MIDI music.
The Secret Of Monkey Island (CD, which I still own): awesome Audio-CD soundtrack, 256-colors and multilanguage (5 or 6).

Also, the last game with a bunch of floppies I owned was Return To Zork. I can't remember how many floppies it had, but they were a lot, which I kept in a big box. Now I don't know what happened to that game and all my floppies... (-_-). I think they were victim -among others things- of my dad's desire to clean my room when I went to college, almost 13 years ago... :P

Interplay's Lord of the Rings Vol. I and II had a CD release that had added cutscenes and some fixed interface issues.

I'm still annoyed that they didn't finish it...
