Demo disc

Another demo disk from the japanese magazine PC ENGINE,
the monthly magazine for game freaks as they call it.
As this is the winter 1993 edition the theme is obviously
based around Christmas and the introduction presents two kids on their
way home. But oh surprise! isn't it Santa Claus in the sky ?
To their delight, and our, their home is now full of presents and this
is now your turn to open up the colorful boxes. The first one
starts the game catalogue, giving you a list (in japanese) of existing
games for the PC Engine. More interestingly, the other boxes contain
demos and playable versions of PC Engine games: Godzilla, Super
Darius 2, Ys 4, the amazing Sol Moonarge,
Bomberman'94 (curiously the Special version!),
Tokimeki Memorial, Yawara! 2, Flash Hiders,
Faceball and Nectaris.

Shogakukan is a major Japanese publisher and launched the famous
Shonen Sunday comic magazine in 1959 (main rival to Shonen Magazine).
Many animations have also been produced based on the comics published by the company,
like Doraemon. PC Engine magazine was published by Shogakukan and
I believe also released those Demo
discs. Those discs were part of special editions, the last issue being the
DUO-RX released during the summer 1994.
Interestingly, but I am not sure about this, the japanese magazine seems to have inspired
the first issues of Turboplay, american magazines dedicated to the TurboGrafx-16,
US version of the PC Engine.
But I have never heard of american versions of those discs though...
Finally, this is just a guess, but I think they were created in close
relationship with Hudson Soft as the CD serial number follows the same
pattern as Hudson ones (HCD####) ...

I personnaly love those Demo and Catalogue discs. If you
collect PC Engine games, they can be a real treasure
and give you sneak peaks to unusual games. For instance this one
contains the Special Edition of Bomberman'94 and also
the really beautiful Sol Moonarge.
