These were posted on this forum few years back but when it moved to new server these never made across. I thought I lost them for good till I found the back up copies on my old PC. Hope you guys find these amusing read...

As some of you know I've finally picked up most of my demo/promo disc
from my old place... I've been sorting through and seeing there are quite number of demo disc for Dreamcast I thought I will put up some interesting titbit after playing one by one...
Shenmue II Demo
first one would be Shenmue II Demo disc.
I don't remember when I get this disc but it would've been before Shenmue II's launch in Japan. Thing is I didn't even have DC back then so why?
anyway on with the demo.
It's rolling demo with recorded video instead of actual game play. Interesting thing is it shows the very beginning of the game/FMV where the ship is sailing into HK harbour in night time instead of day time. Most of FMV are pretty much the same but there are few difference here and there... another interesting bit about the beginning of the game is where you go and see these two brothers drinking during day time... well in the demo it's much more like early night and Ryu is sitting at the table when one of the guy smashed the bottle... the rest of demo shows things I haven't gone that far in retail Shenmue II so I can't comment what are the difference...
*beginning of FMV at night time???
*sorry about the bad picture ^ ^;
demo itself is around 5+ min long and after done repeats itself over and over again... we know Berkley Project shows Shenmue in different ways before it became Shenmue... this demo disc also shows the what might's been with Shenmue II...
I will be updating with other demo if I find one interesting...
cheers
