Check your PSX Demo Discs

[kevincure]

Hey,

Since I'm on the Playstation kick, I'm trying to throw together a list of demo discs for the system. I'm only counting standalone demos (so nothing already on my main psx list like the Dino Crisis demo packed in with RE3), and not counting prototypes, review copies, kiosk discs or anything like that. Also, NSTC-U games only.

Here's what I've managed so far:

"Ape Escape: Demo CD"
"Burning Road"

I know all of these were released, though if the title is slightly off, let me know. Any other demos you own that were standalone releases, post here and I'll throw them on the list. I know there's many missing (for instance, I'm pretty sure there's an Interactive Sampler 4 and 9, but haven't seen them).

What about the stand alone Sonic Adventure 2 Demo that came with some versions of Sonic Adventure? It is a separate disc, so I would say it could count. It includes a semi unfinished first Sonic level with slightly different stuff and music.

[Hums to self...]

"Rolling around at the speed of sound..."

Shoot. Now it's in my head.

Oh. Duh! LOL

Where did I put my head? :embarrassed:

[Eternal Tune]

Cool Boarders 4 had a demo disc...though I haven't a clue where it came from. Just digging through this cd holder full of freebies.

[scooterb23]

I have demo CDs for Driver and Jade Cocoon

Also, I have an early Playstation Picks disc that is Purple...

[kevincure]

I think that's the "Blue" version; as far as I know, there was a Picks that came when you registered your system, and one that could be bought in stores, so only two. Really somewhat of a shot in the dark, though.

[Crush Crawfish]

Let's see... I have

Interactive CD sampler pack Volume 3
Mega man Legends 2 Demo Cd
Playstation Demo Disc Ver. 1.3
Rascal Demo CD
Tomba!
a disc that only says "Brought to you by Toys r us"
Toys R us Interactive CD Sampler Disc

Hope this helps! I Haven't used them in a while, so I'm unsure as to what demos are actually on some of them.

[Half Japanese]

Hopefully this isn't rare (I gave it away a while back to a guy I sold my psx to):

Activision psx demo

It had Pitfall 3d on the front and I can remember Pitfall 3D and Nightmare Creatures as playable demos, as well as a few more and some videos I believe. This must have been around 97 when I got it because I think they gave it to my dad for free at an EB when he picked up a used copy of Ghost in the Shell for me.

[Sph1nx]

There's a 2 Ball Demo Cd.
Get her right here in front of me.

[Achika]

Wipeout 3 had a demo

There was also a series of Kiosk discs (I think these may have been relesed only for the PS One countertop displays) I've got 1.17

The "kiosk":

[briskbc]

I have demos for Crime Killer and Kagero Deception 2.

[Duncan]

I have a demo disc for Croc 2 - it might have been from Pizza Hut, I'm not sure. And I think there's another one I've got that's not listed there.

Also, if you or the DP Guide people are interested, I recently picked up a whole stack of old PSX sales promo literature from the old guidebook at work. There's a bunch of release dates, tech specs, game facts and other assorted info. PM me and I'll give you a rundown of what I've got.

[Ed Oscuro]

There's a demo out there for the unreleased PSX game Titan A.E. (well, there were a bunch a couple years ago on eBay, anyhow).

[JLukas]

Demo Disc Central has some helpful lists:

[digitalpress]

The upcoming DP Advance Guide will have all of the PSX demo discs in it. Adam has been compiling this list for quite some time. With his additions and Kristine's top-notch research, the PlayStation rarity list is going to totally kick ass!

Stay tuned.

There's an early version of the rarity list here by the way:

The word Demo was added to the title of many of these to differentiate them from the released game in my database.

[geelw]

how funny! i just took pics of all of mine (except the opm ones)... i'm definitely trying to complete this particular collection one of these days... ;)

[kevincure]

Thanks for the games, guys.

DP, I didn't know Adam had already put together a Demo disc list, so I'll update this one with what we have so far, and he can merge that with what he has as of now. Also, if you or QoF want the raw Access files of the bigger PSX list to compare with the DP Advance list, throw me a PM or an email and I'll forward those over.

[slapdash]

Not to be redundant with Adam's efforts, but just in case, there's also the Best Buy Greatest Hits Demo 1 disc, and a demo for The Unholy War too.
