This is quite possibly the shortest, smallest playable demo ever. All it has is a SINGLE ROOM in the game. Once you leave, the demo Ends. The intro sequence usually plays fine but screwed up for...
1,013 viewsSo after checking PC Engine Fan Catalog I tried looking for standalone demos. My first tries were the ones based off Neogeo ports, but it seems most of them are very similar to the final retail game b...
1,078 viewsOkay, now for a slightly interesting demo. Fray CD's demo starts with a seemingly incomplete version of the final game's boot-up cutscene that cuts off early. Then you go to the second level, which...
1,052 viewsI dared delve into a JRPG demo. There isn't a lot of information going around on this game, but even from what little I can dig up, the demo seems pretty different; it goes through the first town s...
983 viewsA demo of clearly-not-Monster-World-III. Or clearly-not-Wonder-Boy-IV. Or... whatever. I have no idea if the demo's meant to have a proper Ending or not, but it seems I could not progress to Tarron...
991 viewsA demo of the PC-Engine CD version of Popful Mail. That opening cutscene bug, I'm not entirely sure what's up with that - possibly bad emulation. There is a similar demo in PC Engine Hyper Catalog ...

1,031 viewsThis demo of the Sega Saturn version of the game by Treasure plays... the second level, for some reason. The Tutorial is there, but I skipped it~ Unfortunately the framerate drops a bit during the...
1,088 viewsIn this I check both the promotional material the playable demo of the Japanese localization of Tomb Raider for Sega Saturn. The demo seems to be very short and has a heavily abridged cut of the fi...
969 viewsA demo of the Saturn port of the game known in arcades as "Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty". Why does this have so many different names? Jeez. Anyway, this has three pla...
1,058 viewsA demo of Guardian Heroes. BGM seems to be missing in some places. The demo Ends right after stage 2, before the game could have any branching story paths. There's no anime intro, although clips from ...
1,077 viewsThis demo is pretty similar (at least on surface level) to the one in the European "Sega Flash Vol. 5" demo, but there's one nice difference that makes this the bette...
1,057 viewsA demo of DBZ LegEnds for Saturn. It covers the first level which has the Nappa/Vegeta fight. In the demo there is no score or ranking. It is possible this may not look entirely accurate. If so, bl...
1,005 viewsA short demo of Princess Crown that Ends on the fight against the witch. Or under a time limit, as I happen to hit that time limit before the last cutscene finishes in this run. Oops.
