The disc itself has a nice enough menu setup, and if you leave the screen without selecting anything, a little cutscene will play that looks good for the time. I don’t think it’s quite as impressive as that particular disc because it doesn’t include the (for the time) mesmerising T-Rex and Manta Ray demos, mainly because that was the sort of 3D the Saturn wasn’t really cut out for. SEGA Saturn Preview Volume 1 was packed in with the console itself in parts of Europe, mostly France, and as such it is the equivalent to the demo 1 disc that came with the original PlayStation. Like with my last Demo Disc Retrospective, I will be looking at the quality of the demo disc itself (time given to play, whether the games themselves are playable, how far along the games are in their development cycle, etc.), as well as deciding whether the demos would actually make me want to buy the games they are advertising (which is ultimately what a demo disc’s job is). Whilst putting away my collection, I noticed a demo disc called SEGA Saturn Preview Volume 1 and decided to give it a look-see. She has since gone and bought herself a Nintendo Switch though, so she didn’t need the Saturn anymore and returned it to me. I had bequeathed my Saturn to her so that she would have something to do during lockdown, seeing as we both live on our lonesome (don’t worry, the hand-off was according to social distancing guidelines, and the Saturn itself had been cleaned). However, I’ve decided to switch consoles and have a look at a SEGA Saturn demo disc due to recently having my Saturn returned to me by my sister. I enjoyed it and decided that I would have a go at doing it again down the line. Back in March I was inspired by a Caddicarus video on YouTube to have a look at a classic PlayStation demo disc.
