Both Riven: The Sequel to Myst and the base version of Tokimeki Memorial 2 hold the record for the most CDs for a single game on the original PlayStation, with each of them being spread across five discs. However, Tokimeki Memorial 2 becomes the sole record-holder when counting three additional DLC discs that were distributed with the tie-in magazine Hibikino Watcher, bringing its own total up to eight CDs.

In the latter game's case, the large disc count is due to the use of a unique voice synthesis program that lets the game's cast pronounce the player character's custom name in naturalistic ways. Because of the intensive nature of this program, the base game only allows it for two characters, Hikari Hinamoto and Kasumi Asou (a third, Maeka Kudanshita, calls the player "shōnen" – roughly equivalent to "kiddo" – regardless of what name they inputted). The Hibikino Watcher CDs were consequently handed out in order to accommodate the rest of the game's cast.
