    Hey all, I found a 1997 SEGA Demo Disk, and am looking for any information on its origin. I 'm having a very difficult time finding any information relating to its existence, except one press release from 1997. However, the demo disk I found does not list Sonic CD and instead has a very different line-up of games. Pics below:

    I might be completely wrong but I feel like I've played that demo disc in the past before. I don't remember if I got it through my sister (she use to work at a compusa) or if I got it with a gfx card at the time.

    i had that video card, at the time it was a good preforming gpu and i even remember where trident was located too, if my memory serves right.

    funny thing i remember about that card was that i kept that disc and it remained a constant used disc long into my decent into running only 3dfx voodoo cards and all of its like, sadly like many of the cool pack in cd's of the past, they are long gone and no longer in my possession, good to see something that i totally almost forgot about.

    I had a variation of this disk, it came with Daytona, Virtua Squad and maybe Baku Baku. Trident was cheap low end cards pretty popular in Brazil back then.

    Reminds me of when I had a Sega 3-in-1 PC game disk a few years back with Baku Baku as one of the three full titles. Baku Baku was locked into a windowed resolution of 640x480 or 800x600 and you could not adjust it which made it almost unplayable due to the tiny window. Ended up buying and emulating the Sega Saturn version which was the best version anyway.
