Yep!

This also includes the first game it seems, not sure if the iso on the server is this same version?

From what I've seen, yep!

Any differences from the floppy release, like CDDA? I'm guessing not.

Nope.

Yes, most of the unofficial/pirate CD releases (Ambermoon, Goal! 2000, Great Giana Trilogy, SOTB Trilogy etc.) either came towards the end of their time as a publisher on the Amiga or after they left the Amiga (i.e. 1999/2000 and beyond).

Back in 2000, one of their distributors KDH went public about the pirated material on the Goal! 2000 CD and stopped selling the game......which received a very nasty reaction from Alive Mediasoft's head-honcho Steven Flowers. Of course, no-one believed him and IIRC not long after he issued a press release saying that, due to continued attacks on him and his wife Jenny about the "unfounded" piracy issue, Alive were leaving the Amiga market.

Anyway, Alive Mediasoft's unofficial/pirated CD releases are easily spotted as they have mostly white CD covers, with a smaller version of the original release game box in the bottom right-hand corner or quadrant. See below for a typical example:

Contrast this with Alive's official CD release of Fightin' Spirit:

The trouble is.....after Alive Mediasoft left the Amiga, Steven Flowers from Alive started selling white CD cover knock-offs of the company's previously legitimate CD releases (plus lotsa other Ami/PC CD games by other publishers without permission) using subsidiary companies that he set up. Butterfly Media was one of the subsidiaries, but from memory there was a whole host of them designed to confuse buyers and the UK consumer complaints department.
