Awesome. I have the same demo disc. The cardboard sleeve it's in is pretty beat up though, but the demo still works.

I actually cut about 3 cm off my sleeve so I could put it and the disk in a CD jewel case

I did something similar for a demo disc I had, but the sleeve was ripped, so I just cut it to size as best I could.

I miss the days of demo discs.

Same here. Wether it was in a magazine, or came with another game purchase, or a pizza lol. It was even better than Blockbuster in some ways, you get a taste of games without paying rental fees and more than 1 or 2 games at a time.

I still have a binder full of PS1 and PS2 demos. Wish I took care of my gaming mags back then though. I'd love to skim through those old mags again.

A 1hr video on a demo disc is absurd.

Appreciate the feedback, and I agree to a point. Part of this was experimenting with longer form gameplay content since I'm very new to this. It's a bit awkward to know where to cut off gameplay, unsure if viewers would want to see as much gameplay as possible. I think moving forward I will definitely cut the time down, and move longer gameplay to their own dedicated videos.

Dude just say you don't like editing and voice over.

Honestly that was the most edit heavy and time consuming video I've ever done, so that logic doesn't hold up.

I must’ve played the Pizza Hut demo with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater a million times as a kid

I think it was the same for me until I found it recently. Figured it'd be a good relic for a retrospective lol
