    Default Unreleased/unique PS1 games/demos in the wild?

    OK, I don't know how to exactly categorize this, but I'm trying to find a list of unique PSone (PS1) game/demos that never had a true commercial release but have since become "available":

    For example:

    Developer's Demo/Hear It Now, Play It Later
    Titan A.E. demo disc
    Thrill Kill (unreleased)
    Torc - Legend of the Ogre King (unreleased)

    Are there any other interactive game demos/unreleased/beta Playstation 1 games that have leaked or become available to the general public/internet? Basically, I guess it would be anything for the PSone that you could not purchase at a retail outlet that have either had a free release (i.e. demos) or leaked release (i.e., betas).

    What am I missing?

    Okay...uh...wait, wait wait....

    Developer's Demo/Hear It Now, Play It Later
    Titan A.E. demo disc


    These demos were all commercially available. Hear it Now , Play It later was a pre-order bonus for when you reserved the PlayStation before launch. Some even just gave them away because I got one for free from a friend, and he had gotten one himself without the pre-order.

    Developer's Demo was the exact CD under a new name and was packed in with the Ridge Racer PSX Bundle.

    Titan A.E. was freely available to the public, just the actual game itself was cancelled. You can still find the demo on eBay fairly easily.

    Torc - Legend of the Ogre King
    I thought this had a real release in Europe, but I could be wrong.

    Thrill Kill (unreleased)
    That one's right.

    On a little side note, Thrill Kill essentially became the equally terrible Wu-Tang game after being cancelled.

    I know I was having a difficult time describing it, but maybe I should have said "not available for direct purchase" (i.e., not available for individual purchase on store shelves?).

    I'm a fan of unique items games/demos/prototypes. I know the Developer's Demo/Hear It Now, Play It Later and the Titan A.E. demo were made available to the public, but I do not see them as official commercial releases as they were only available as tie-ins with other purchases for a relatively limited time.

    In addition, to my list above, I know that a few Net Yaroze games were released on one of the Playstation Underground demo discs, but I believe there may have been a Japanese compilation of Net Yaroze game that was sold.

    a Demo for Bounty Arms (unreleased) is available on Japanese Demo Demo disc #5, or you can download the files quite easily from a certain site.


    Torc was released somewhere. Ive heard it was only available in India and the Middle East. I have a feeling this is just a bootleg of the US Beta though, Syrian Games was carrying it, good luck trying to order a copy I placed orders twice and it never came once! The US version beta is dumped and readily available online as well.
