My brother-in-law gave me something today that I've never seen or heard of. It's a PS1 demo for Oddworld. I'll try to describe it the best I can. In a jewel case, just like most other PS1 games...it's sealed (still shrinkwraped), and says in the far left corner "For Trade Use Only Not For Resale." Also in bright red letters is the word "DEMO" followed by "this demo does not contain the latest...character interactions, movie compression, music & sound...it only gets better for Sept. '97!" If it doesn't have any of that, then what the heck is it? Is it something the game companies would send out to reviewers before the game was released?
My brother-in-law used to work for Squaresoft and he picked up all kinds of, well, crap, when he traveled to conventions, meetings, and so forth...this was the only console-type thing he ever acquired...everything else was PC related.
Any one else seen this or have any idea if it will be listed in the soon-to-be-released guide?
