Not quite as technologically involved, but there are some disc based games with novel uses of disc swapping. Monster Rancher is a monster breeding game where you get new monsters via inserting any other disc into the console.
- fredoralive 3y agoThere were a couple of expansion discs for PlayStation 1 games as well, Metal Gear Solid Special Missions and Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 required copies of the base games to operate (at least for the European / PAL releases). I suspect there's little data used from the original game discs except acting as a "key". I think the Dreamcast Pop'n'music (Japan only) games might've had expansion discs as well? Not sure about that one.
- Zach_the_Lizard 3y agoI want to say Shenmue on the Dreamcast had run-of-the-mill multi-disc for different chapters _and_ a special disc with internet options.
- fredoralive 3y agoThe discs I was talking about were sold separately, not just multi disc games. Although Shenmue having what is basically a "bonus features" disc in the package is pretty unique (doesn't Shenmue II have some bonus stuff on Disc 4 as well? I think the Saturn Shenmue prototype video is on that disc?).
- atribecalledqst 3y agoI know the Playstation 2 did -- Persona 3 for example, in Japan, had its expansion content released as a separate disc. (I think there was also a version released that was both the base game AND the expansion content)
