EXCLUSIVE A Brief Look at Multi Disc Games | UDUG Ep 10
Added 2024-06-04 02:59:41 +0000 UTCHey Hey Skele-fam!
Quick update with your latest exclusive video! We'll start the voting tomorrow for June's UDUG video! If you've got any last minute suggestions, lemme know below!
This one went extra casual, I did the whole thing in a tank top! I was feeling extra loose for some reason. It's actually been kinda cold around here and I've been wearing my summer clothes in protest. Even in Seattle it's usually warmer by now!
Fun fact, I needed to correct a few things with this video and right before I hit record on my camera the power went out! Been really windy up here today, apparently outages all over the greater Seattle area here, but I think that means that it's finally going to start waring up around here!! ...right??
Big ups to Sputnik34 for helping with the research and the edit on this one!
If you need more, watch this video from The Golden Bolt, it also has a lot of great multi-disc history too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gpCYOYi-I8
See you tomorrow!

Update: It's been brought to my attention that Baldur's Gate 3 just released on Xbox and it is 4 discs. Further more, two of the discs in the case are just in paper sleeves. Here's an unboxing video and their reaction pretty much sums it up! https://youtu.be/qO_MZZETnLI?feature=shared&t=392

Doom in PAL was in a double disk box but was only one disc, also would you consider Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles to be a multi cart game? Also what about the pass through games in NES like Micro Machines etc. love the video!

2024-06-05 18:38:53 +0000 UTCThe beginning of the video got me to thinking of other multicart games and I was able to think of the Zelda Oracle games (which work more like RE2 style where you can play either first and the other second) and Golden Sun and GS: The Lost Age. While it's true you could use passwords to carry over whatever data you want if you only have one game (or in the case of GS just The Lost Age), but I still think those are good examples of multicart games

2024-06-05 14:23:39 +0000 UTCWas Unreal 2004 mentioned in the video? I may have missed it. UT 2004 came on 5 CDs. I remember dumping the contents into one folder and burning it back to DVD for LAN parties.

2024-06-05 09:29:07 +0000 UTCIf I could just suggest an alternate title for this one. I'd go with: Derek officially enters his DILF era

2024-06-05 03:33:18 +0000 UTCThe 3rd disc of D on Playstation is just the final area and the ending. There's hardly anything on it. I wonder if the final disc of Phantasmagoria (which I forgot to mention is "Phantasm" in Japan) the very last section where the big monster shows up? But that they would consider shipping even a 7 disc Saturn game is ridiculous! There should've been a mandate "cram it into 4 discs or don't bother!" I'm still confused about the WoW situation. So was the WoW trial edition for sale at the same time as full WoW? Because finding evidence of the trial version is kind of hard, I got the sense that it was a DVD game. And this is late 2004, was it really that rare for computers to have DVDs?

2024-06-05 00:22:48 +0000 UTCI commission an actual artist with talent to make our other thumbnails. But, as you might be able to tell, I make the thumbnails for UDUG videos myself haha.

2024-06-05 00:06:43 +0000 UTCAbout Phantasmagoria: Every disc was a chapter, so even on PC you had to switch discs when entering a new chapter. Not sure how the Saturn divided it into 8 discs though. About the World of Warcraft Trial version: It was still the full version of the game (so the same contents as the DVD version), but it came with a 14 day trial. When it was released most people still only had a CD player.
