This most common variation of the 1993 Dutch version of Thunderdome III is packaged in a double jewel case with with opaque black disc trays and fliptray. Its back cover has some differences compared with the original pressings, which are mainly corrections of tracklisting errors:
- it correctly lists track 1-18 as External by Zekt, and also correctly lists disc 2 as having 18 tracks only. In contrast, original pressings listed External as track 2-19, while track 1-18 was listed as German Nazis Fuck Off by Exit 100;
- it correctly lists Omar Santana as artist of track 2-7, whereas original pressings erroneously listed Slave Invaders E.P. as artist name, which is actually the name of the vinyl from which the track was taken. The corrected back cover however includes this release name as part of the track title;
- it correctly lists the title of track 1-1 as Nonshlen Tustokken (Ode To Vortex), which was misspelled as Nonchlen Tustokken (Ode To Vortex) on the original pressings;
- it hasn't any credit about the free tattoo that was included with some copies of the original pressings, presumably because most later copies didn't include this tattoo (it was however included in some copies with the corrected back cover);
- it lists the realization credit to Mackaay A'foort, which was missing from the original pressings;
- bonus tracks (tracks that are exclusive to the CD versions) are accurately listed, which wasn't the case in original pressings;
- various elements have a slightly different layout.

Frontcover (Dobermann) is an edited picture from Tony Garcia.

Release title is listed as Thunderdome 3 on spines.
Catalog number appears as 01 7530 6 on spines, discs and booklet back and as 01 7530.6 on back cover.

On back cover, all apostrophes have been erroneously replaced by commas, except on track 2-13.
Tracks 1-9, 1-10, 1-12, 1-13 and 2-12 to 2-15 are listed as Bonus Traxx, meaning they are exclusive to the CD versions of the release and were not included in the cassette and vinyl versions.
Track 1-2 is the same track as B1 from the same named release.
Track 1-4 was also released as The Passion (Mokum Mix) on F**king Hardcore.
On tracks 1-10, 1-15, 1-18, 2-5, 2-9, 2-14 & 2-16, the title or catalog number of the release from which the track was taken is listed as part of the artist name (respectively Vol. II, Vol. I, Senseless, 1, I, Rabbit City 12 & Hellraising).
Track 1-12 is listed as White Sports (Fine Line Mix), another mix of the track from the same release.
Track 1-14 is the version listed as the Original Mix on the vinyl release.
Track 1-17 is the same track as the untitled B1 from Tumult EP and was likely named here after that release.
Track 2-2 was also released with Fuckin Hostile or DJ Skinhead as artist name.
Track 2-6 is listed as Bottrop (Gizmo! Remix) inside the booklet.
Track 2-7 is listed as Step The Fuck Back (Slave Invaders E.P) on back cover and Step The Fuck Back (Slave Invaders E.P.) inside the booklet. Slave Invaders EP is the title of the release from which the track is taken.
Track 2-11 is the same version that was released as the Godfather Mix on King Of FFM Lesson #1. The track name King Of FFM means King Of Frankfurt am Main, the city where Marc Acardipane comes from. The lyrics phrase it as: I'm the king....of Frankfurt.
Writing of track 2-17 is erroneously credited to Gabriel, the writer of track 2-15, and his name is listed as part of the track title on back cover.
