Buckle in, because this is the first of at least a dozen DemoDemo discs that I have to upload to this blog. As the naming convention might indicate, DemoDemo is something of a cousin to the PlayPlay series of demo discs I’ve released previously, which began life on the PS1. Like the PlayPlay discs, DemoDemo discs were demo compilation discs (albeit solely for the PS1), but given to retailers to use as kiosk content. New discs would arrive every month, bringing with it a new batch of demos to play and preview movies for customers to check out, among other things.

Volume 10 here is notable in that addition to containing the usual sort of content you’d expect from something like this, it also has a little in-progress game called Controller-kun no Tabi, a rudimentary polygonal forced scrolling shooter in the vein of something like Star Fox, but starring a PlayStation controller instead. While nothing to write home about gameplay-wise, it was actually meant to be developed further based on player feedback that was mailed in to the development team, something that I believe was also seen with PlayStation Underground in the West with a wholly separate game altogether. As far as I can tell, however, development never progressed past this disc, making it more a tangential historical curiosity than something you can actually track over time like the Western counterpart. Still, with very little information on it whatsoever even in Japanese, I’m glad I got to have it preserved so it didn’t disappear into complete obscurity. 

Beyond that, the most notable demo on here is arguably the one for Twilight Syndrome, which I believe might be a standalone story not present in the retail game, at least assuming it’s the same as the standalone demo disc for the game that also exists. The handful of commercials you can view are also worth checking out, especially this Darkstalkers one that’s musically going for something I can’t even begin to describe and needs to be seen to be believed.

Anyway, here’s the full breakdown of stuff you can expect to find on this disc:

In terms of structure, this DemoDemo is strange in that it splits it demos equally between the accessible sections for reasons I couldn’t wholly tell you. That being said, you better love yourself some scrolling shooters and puzzle games, as they by far constitute the bulk of this disc’s playable content. If you do happen to like shooters in particular, though, it’s worth noting that Dezaemon+ demo on here is neat in that aside from letting you play sample content, you can even mess around with the series-defining shmup editor for things like graphics and sound, although you understandably don’t seem to be able to actually save any content you make within the demo. With that out of the way, here’s the full content breakdown:

We’re down to the last few DemoDemo discs I have on hand and this one’s kind of a doozy. While the playable demo offerings are solid for Western readers by way of Namco Museum Vol. 3, which lets you play Ms. Pac-Man, and Tecmo’s Deception, the real stars of the show are a pair of just weird, weird ads. One of them’s a probably racist(?) Wipeout ad and the other is just a transcendental one for Destruction Derby, both of which you can view by clicking on the links.

Anyway, what do you say we just get to the content listing so we can move on from this harrowing disc? Cool? Cool.

DemoDemo Volume 16 is probably the sparsest yet in terms of actual features in that it only has playable content and videos to watch, but it’s got one of the better demo lineups to make up for that. You’ve got your choice of stuff like Jumping Flash 2, Bust-A-Move Again, Asuka 120% Special: BURNING Fest., and even the Japan-only port for freaking Zork I (yes, that Zork, the old text adventure one). There’s also a sweet pachinko demo by way of Sankyo Fever: Jikki Simulation in case you just felt a hankering for some free simulated pachinko or something.

Anyway, here’s what you can expect to find on this disc in full:

DemoDemo PlayStation Volume 16, 1996 March PCPX-96025

Demo PlayStation:   Playable Demos (Silver disc icons, left to right, top to bottom):   -Jumping Flash 2   -Bust-A-Move Again/Puzzle Bobble 2   -Fire Pro Wrestling: Iron Slam '96   -Asuka 120% Special: BURNING Fest.   -Hyper Final Match Tennis   -Motor Toon Grand Prix 2   -PGA Tour 96   -Zork I   -J League: Virtual Stadium '96   -Sankyo Fever: Jikki Simulation

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!

Another pretty quiet month for DemoDemo PlayStation all around. There’s a demo of The Firemen 2, the sequel to a pretty rad firefighting game on the SNES by Human, but there’s no music and you just fight fires with a slowly turning protagonist for a few minutes before you’re taken back to the main menu. Not the most exciting time all around. Beyond that, there’s some video footage of Kojima’s two adventure game PS1 ports by way of Policenauts and Snatcher, as well as a handful of Western games readers have possibly heard of, but that’s about it. Here’s your full breakdown:

DemoDemo PlayStation Volume 14, 1996 January PCPX-96021

It’s another DemoDemo PlayStation disc filled with a lot of Japan-only games you likely haven’t heard of, with a handful of exceptions here and there. I guess if you wanted to play Crazy Climber on something outside of MAME, you can do that with the Nichibutsu Arcade Classics demo? Well, it is what it is. Here’s your full listing of everything you can expect to find on this disc:

We’ve come to the end of the line for now with DemoDemo Volume 22, although I’ve still got about half of the discs remaining to procure. This disc sees a bit of a facelift with its UI, but otherwise not much else has changed about it, barring the fact this is a disc solely devoted to demos and gameplay teasers. I hope you like Soukoban and pachinko because those are the highlights of this disc when it comes to stuff you can play!

Anyway, here’s the full breakdown:

DemoDemo PlayStation Volume 22, 1996 September PCPX-96042

Demo PlayStation:   Playable Demos (signified by "Demo Play" in orange; left to right, top to bottom):   -Genei Tougi: Shadow Struggle   -Gallop Racer   -Kyuukyoku no Soukoban   -Pachinko Daisuki   -Leading Jockey: Highbred   -Mighty Hits   -Building Crush

  Movies (signified by  left to right, top to bottom):   -Apo Nashi Gals: Olympus   -Tsuri Baka Nisshi   -Megatudo 2096   -Lulu   -Victory Boxing: Champion Edition/Kensei: The King of Boxing   -Vegas Casino/Super Casino Special   -Karyuujou   -Sore Ike x Kokoroji: Heart ga Oshieru Koi, Kekkon, Jinsei   -Revelations: Persona   -Kekkon: Marriage   -Zoku Gussun Oyoyo   -Slime Shiyou   -AubirdForce   -Jigsaw Island: Japan Graffiti   -Brain Dead 13   -Kuro no Juusan

I’ll probably be moving on to more PlayPlay 2 PS2 demo discs, as I have the majority of those on hand now, although I’ll probably veer off into other tangential areas from time to time since those discs are bulky and take a little while to wholly document. There’s still lots to come with this blog, so stick around!

This volume of DemoDemo PlayStation is still pretty short on notable titles, but it’s not without at least a few quirky standouts by way of demos for Tokyo Insect Zoo and Namco Museum Volume 1, although you can only fool around with Rally X in the latter. There’s also a decent amount of coverage for Western games that you’ve probably heard of, although the most notable titles of the bunch are relegated to video clips. Still, not the worst demo disc I’ve uploaded to the blog, so without further ado, here’s the full content listing:

While running retail demo discs on here is always fun, with monthly ones like the DemoDemo series, it’s easy to have some pretty dry volumes and I’d argue that this is definitely one of them. The two games non-Japanese readers are most likely to recognize, Jumping Flash and Tekken, are relegated to videos, while the actual playable content is a mostly sad mixture of sports sims and multiple pachinko game demos, the latter of which will become something of a recurring trope with these discs as time goes on. Regardless, I don’t snub the duds on here, so here’s a content breakdown of what to expect should you give this disc a whirl for yourself:

As I don’t happen to have DemoDemo Volume 20 on hand, we’re skipping that one for now and moving on to 21 for the time being. And as if to balance things out again sanity-wise, this DemoDemo disc is much saner and tamer compared to the previous. No weird commercials or anything like that this time, but if you’re into either tennis, fishing, or snowboarding games, I suppose this disc has you covered demo-wise. Here’s the full listing below:

It’s back to a somewhat boring content lineup for this volume of DemoDemo PlayStation, unfortunately. People who follow me elsewhere might think that I might be at least intrigued at the prospects of a pachinko RPG demo by way of PachiPachi Saga: CRFRPG. But, as it turns out, you only have one very brief battle throughout the entire thing and the rest of the time is spent just hitting the Circle Button to advance dialogue for upwards of 10 to 15 minutes. Very riveting stuff to play in a store kiosk context, I’m sure!

At the very least, there are some interesting extras by way of player-submitted enemy art for Controller-kun no Tabi, which I talked about previously in DemoDemo Volume 10, as well as a model viewer for a Macross game, but that’s about it. Check the content listing below for a full breakdown of what you’ll find on this here disc.

Release: Gekkan Nintendo Tentou Demo 2002 May (DL-DOL-D29J-DIS)

Download Link

We’re taking a quick break from DemoDemo PlayStation discs to bring you the first of hopefully many Gekkan Nintendo Tentou Demo discs, which, like DemoDemo, were a series of monthly GameCube demo discs that Nintendo sent out to retailers. American readers might be familiar with the Interactive Multi-Game Demo Discs, which essentially served the same function but for North America. These discs are fairly hard to come by, at least at a sane price, so they won’t get dumped with anywhere near as much regularity as the PS1 and PS2 stuff, but given how unknown they generally remain, they’re certainly high on the priority list every time I go shopping for new stuff to dump.

Anyway, this disc has an interesting mishmash of playable demos and videos to watch, with the standout here likely being the demo for Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO. While there’s a ten minute time limit imposed and most of the modes aren’t accessible, so far as I can tell, you can otherwise play with the entire roster on this disc and might even be able to do multiplayer, though I haven’t been able to test this. There’s also a very brief demo for Lost Kingdoms that’s basically a series of tutorial fights and then a quick boss battle; if nothing else, this relatively forgotten demo of a From Software game better teaches you the core mechanics than a lot of other RPG demos, so good on them, I suppose.

For the full breakdown of what you can find on this disc, read on below.
