While still not necessarily an out and out winner per se, this DemoDemo disc at least has a handful of games you’re likely to have at least potentially heard of, with playable demos including such games as Motor Toon Grand Prix 2, Namco Museum Vol. 2 (although only Gaplus is playable), and Hyper Crazy Climber. There’s also brief trailer footage for Bonobono BonoBoard, a sugoroku game based on the Bonobono manga series that was apparently cancelled and is so unknown on the Internet that there’s all of like 100 hits for it when you Google it. My personal favorite thing on this disc might be the demo for Advanced Variable Geo, given its very bare bones, low-fi title screen that reminds me more than a little bit of the latter day bootleg period for Asuka 120%. I mean, just look at it; this is the first screen that greets you as soon as you boot into the demo!

Beautiful, beautiful stuff. Anyway, content listing time!

Official US @PlayStation Mag #1, Oct ‘97 - Ray Tracers! Looking this up online, it actually looked pretty cool! Some weird mix of racing and smashing cars with a dash of Anime.
