Title: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: tactical_nuke on May 12, 2014, 02:06:28 AM So, for over ten years now I've been searching for a particular ps1 demo disc. I've tried my best google-fu and looked up the demo disc list on game-rave but no luck. The database hasn't been much help either. 1 because I don't know the exact date, just that it was before 2000, and 2 not all demo entries list the games that were on it. So I humbly ask you guys for any leads on it. Here's a list of what I remember was on it:
Medievil A bust-a-move game Wild 9 Crash warped A trailer for a rugrats game(?) If anyone can narrow it down or link me to some good resources that would be great :) EDIT: Thanks to addicted! I'm 90% sure that's the one I had for a few days back when I was a small lad. Brave Fencer was that one game I played but was never sure which game it was. The menu music also rings a bell. Also, this thread is open for anyone looking to pinpoint a demo disc now. Thanks again. ;D Title: Re: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: Boshamp on May 12, 2014, 02:38:22 AM PSM Demo 26 had Crash: Warped on it, the others do not sound familiar though...I hope that helps in the end...

Is there anything physical that you remember about the disc, such as the color or any art? Do you remember if the disc was a system pack-in disc, a retail demo disc (such as a Jampack or something you could get from a store), a OPM demo disc, or maybe a Playstation Underground set of discs? Also, what did the selection screen look like? Was is a wall tiles that showed the content, or was it a single "one-at-a-time" demo/video selection?
EDIT: I might be too late. It looks like Addicted may have gotten it. Title: Re: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: Promic on May 12, 2014, 08:30:23 AM Have you fined your desired demo disk?
Title: Re: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on May 12, 2014, 08:48:06 AM Just to hijack this thread, anyone know which demo disc(s) had the fish on the selection menu? I have a co-worker who used to work on these demos, and the fish one was something he was looking to re-acquire again since it was one of his best accomplishments from that time.

I think it was an OPM Demo Disc in the 20s range. The fish would school together and swim around the menu.

Title: Re: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: Addicted on May 21, 2014, 07:28:04 AM @Shadow: Glad I could help. It's amazing how little information there is on the demo discs.
Title: Re: Find that demo disc (ps1) Post by: Izret101 on May 21, 2014, 03:40:42 PM It's amazing how little information there is on the demo discs. In years past i went out of my way to buy demos. I had a few hundred at one point. Hopefully someday soon i'll rediscover them all. Maybe we can tag team updating the game pages should i find them all again ;) |
