There are two of them, as I recall (I have two, anyway) and they are sort of choose-your-own-adventures on CD. You listen to something, it asks what you wanna do, and then you skip to Track X and listen some more. I don't have any idea if they are collectible, or what they are worth: the two I have came in a lot of stuff I bought, so that's not really any help. I'd probably put a low value, as I think the tracks are actually available, for free (or were) from WotC...

Just checked:

Track of the Vampire

Track of the Werewolf

aia, the pictures are of the CD jewel case themselves.  When the Terror Trax CDs were released, they were packaged in longboxes (see Wikipedia entry).

I bought mine used, no longbox.  I don't believe that they have any value without the longbox; with the longbox, maybe a little.

A quick eBay search reveals that Track of the Vampire was released for the PC.

Both of mine have longboxes, though I don't think I'll further assist in this, as I obviously have no idea what they are.... right?

Whatever.

They did come in long boxes and are "audio cd interactive games".  Its a game that you play using your cd player - probably has you made decisions and jump to different tracks on the cd.  I haven't opened my copies but I got them dirt cheap still in shrink; $1 each comes to mind.

I'm sorry . . . did you say something?  Wink Wink Wink

Thanks for the WotC links . . . I didn't know that WotC had released the audio tracks.
