Who remembers the old demo disc that came with the original Playstation? 
I had a moment of nostalgia today when having a clear out only to find some really old disc's I had buried deep in a drawer. I came across the original Demo 1 disc that came with the Playstation 1 many years ago.
I thought I'd make a mini appreciation thread for these great little disc's that brought back so many memories when I fired them up.
I managed to find:
* Demo 1 (One) for the Playstation 1 - PAL version SCED-00456
* Demo Disc for Playstation 2 - PAL version PBPX-95205
* Bonus Demo Disc Jan 2001 for Playstation 2 - PAL version SCED-50133
I do recall that I didnt buy the original Playstation at launch, I was too young so it was a Christmas present for me and I dont remember the year so Im not sure if this was the first Demo 1 or an updated version. The same goes for the Playstation 2, I cant for the life of me remember when I got the console but I do remember spending all my money to buy it and didnt have any left over to buy any games so I played the demo disc to death until I got some money lol.
Below you will find some images I took of the demo discs, the main thing that brought so many memories back of playing these when I got my shiny new console was the music. I remembered the music and intro videos like it was yesterday plus the Dino Tech demo on the Playstation 1! A massive T-Rex walking on the screen with a black background and creepy music, wow, I remember watching that and thinking this is awesome, these graphics are so realistic! The way you could open his mouth, grin and turn his head was epic for its time, who'd of thought back then how graphics would advance to today's standard.
From memory, the demo discs had the following games:
PS1 Demo 1
Crash Bandicoot
Destruction Derby 2
Wipeout 2097
Monster Trucks
F1
Tekken 2
Ridge Racer Revolution
Power Soccer
Toshinden 2
Die Hard
Descent
Actua Golf
PS2 Demo Disc
FIFA 2001
SSX Snowboarding
Wild Wild Racing
Anyway, heres some images I took:
