Depending on which issue of Official PlayStation Magazine you pikced up – or which disc you nicked from a mate – you'd get another little window into the expansive PSOne back catalogue.īack when getting a new game was a twice-a-year treat (at best), circulating demo discs and getting to play little slices of games was a life-saver.
My peers had different Demo One discs – maybe including Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Ridge Racer, or Wipeout – and to this day I see a similar imprint on them. I’d wager the disc is the reason I got so into Tekken – something I’ve gone on to play in tournaments and take pilgrimages to Japan to play in arcades since.
The version I had contained a fairly bizarre collection of Gran Turismo, Medieval, Kula World, Tekken 3 – as well as trailers for Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Metal Gear Solid, Spice World, and Spyro the Dragon. It was everywhere in 1995, and remained a staple until the early 00s. If you’re about 30-40 years old and from Europe, you’ll know Demo One: it was the first ever PAL PlayStation demo disc, packaged with the original launch model PlayStation.
