Strange Psygnosis demo

alexh · 14 February 2004, 20:19

Hi,

One of my disks was a strange Psygnosis demo, slideshow.

It was DOS so I've uploaded it

Psygnosis Slideshow

If anyone remembers it, let me know.

I have this too.. called Screen Rollers...

has anyone else heard of this or know anything about it?

Galaxy · 08 April 2006, 00:29

i've got a psygnosis demo too. I think it was from a PD library but I'll have to dig it out.

BippyM · 08 April 2006, 00:37

Screen Rollers (19xx)(Psygnosis - Psyclapse - SRS).adf

That is the filename I have given it.. I reckon SRS is the PD library (well at a guess!)

alexh · 08 April 2006, 10:52

I contributed a lot of other Psygnosis demo's to the SPS and Psygore made WHDload installers for them.

Shadow of the Beast / Blood Money Demo
Shadow of the Beast 2 Demo
Ork Demo
Awesome Demo

I also had Shadow of the Beast 3 demo but SPS wouldnt take it because the disk had been modified.

I got most of them from the Psygnosis Stand at the 1992/3 World of Amiga Show in London. I also bought the CD's from Bjorn Lynne "Hobbits and Spaceships" and Allister Brimble "Sounds Digital"

Galaxy · 08 April 2006, 14:55

I used to have the Lemmings demo (which apparently has levels completely unique to the demo). Unfortunately the disk was copied over

I gather SPS are still after an image of it.

If you could make an image of this disk (wwarp beast3demo.wwp C 0-161 nostd rc 50) to create an hd install, it would be nice.

FromWithin · 10 April 2006, 10:36

I've got the Lemmings and Beast III ones, along with a bunch of others. Still sitting here waiting to be SPS'd.

Ah, sorry about that!
We can meet up sometime, I am not in London for the next two weeks, but Fiath might be.

Galaxy · 10 April 2006, 13:57

I've uploaded my copy of the Psygnosis demo to the Zone. It is different to the one linked to by Alexh above.

Also, I've actually discovered a MicroProse promotional disk - put out by MicroProse to show off their games in 1991/92. Has proper label too. Features slideshows showing some of their games. I've uploaded this too.

BippyM · 10 April 2006, 14:59

@Galaxy.. That is the same Psygnosis demo I have just renamed for Tosec..

I'll convert your adz file to adf and see if it is the same (crc wise) and if not I'll include yours too

Galaxy · 10 April 2006, 15:02

Ok - I downloaded Alexh's and the demo content seemed to be different (unless they randomise it or something)

alexh · 10 April 2006, 15:37

I am sure that I had another one also, but I couldnt find it.

I've looked at the one Galaxy sent and it IS the same content... but it appears it was tweaked by some 3rd party PD company in australia.

I DO have another Psygnosis demo disk somewhere which is all HAM scans of lots of original artwork by Roger Dean that made it onto the covers of Psygnosis / Psyclapse games.

alexh · 11 April 2006, 01:24

Found the other psygnosis demo disk... just need time to convert it...

That is if anyone is interested.

I've written on the disk "Roger Dean Slideshow".

EDIT: Damn if I havent already done it in Feb 2004!

alexh's pd.zip seems like rev 1 and Galaxy's psygnosis.adz is rev 2. The music modules are name mod.int1 and mod.int2 respectively. Maybe someone didn't relabel the disk number?

Psygore · 10 May 2006, 18:15

Who could create an image disk of beast 3 demo?
The disk on aminet does not contain all data.

alexh · 10 May 2006, 21:06

Sorry Psygore, my disc collection is under 100 other boxes as I have just moved.

jamielemon · 13 May 2006, 02:09

Is there anywhere the images of the demos can be downloaded? I assume they are classed as public domain.

Galaxy · 13 May 2006, 02:43

I've reupped the version I have to the zone
