    Don't have any Tech Saturn issues or discs, myself. I've yet to come across any.

    darius-saturn, I can try to scan the discs next time I'm using my scanner. I'll PM you if I get those up. You're the first person I've heard of that collects demo discs to the point they make burns of them and even do labels. I always just saw them as a novelty for the most part.

    Can I be number two then? There was a time when the internets where slow and CD-Rs expensive, so it sometimes made sense to dl a good demo disc to get to try a bunch of stuff you weren't sure was worth the bandwidth and/or empty disc. (That period wasn't all that long though. And I didn't make labels either.)

    Still, +1 for scanning the discs while you have them - who knows when there's going to be a second chance to do it, so boring as they seem, might as well preserve them.

    WOW! Thankyou for posting the ISOs. I never heard of the magazine either, some neat Japan only titles in your listing. Looking forward to discover the game demos with some maybe never having a commercial release. :)

    I even saved your Quote to the same folder I placed the ISOs as an Info file. A curiosity, the earliest issue (April 1997) disc download is named "Tech 4". I added the matched names to your download links in the quote below. Were there three other unreleased discs?

    As I mentioned in the first post, the magazine's first issue was an April 1997 issue. Only lasted until a November issue, then the one-off renewal issue.

    No one else has reported this, and even if I did somehow upload the same disc over and over, there were no Tech Playstation demos that contained only Moon, so I have no idea what's going on with your downloads.

    I still gotta get to scanning these. Sorry for the delay, just been very busy and my setup makes it sort of an effort to get my scanner out for it.

    because no one didn't test them.
    I double checked those cd-images, seven of them is the same.

    Alright, I've checked one of the files again and it's Moon. I'm so confused right now. I ripped each disc one by one, compressing them, taking the disc out, enter the next, repeat. This doesn't make any sense to me how this could have happened. Goes to show how much anyone even bother playing them, I guess. I didn't think I'd have to test them each one by one myself since I was so clearly ripping them right in front of me. Or so I thought.... :/

    Unfortunately I don't have the time or energy to bother ripping them all over again one by one since the last time, ripping, compressing, and uploading in total took way too long. Needless to say I feel a little pissed my time was wasted. I cannot fathom wtf just happened. I use ISO Buster, each time I ripped a disc it WAS the right disc, the discs even would spin.....

    If anyone wants to buy them from me, lemme know. Otherwise I'll maybe rip them again someday, but considering no one that apparently downloaded them even played them, there's probably not any rush.

    Sorry for the sour mood, just got other issues and this really just baffles me.
