Oh man, great video.. I loved these when they came out and I do remember that specific one too! I was 22 in 1996 and just bought a new system out of the Computer Shopper with a Cyrix 686 133mhz at the time. Was always great to pickup the newest PC Gamer and spend the weekend going through the demo's. Ahhhh.. I miss those good 'ol days. The early/mid 90's computer&very early internet days was such a new frontier to explore, very good vivid memories. We have great stuff now but it's definitely not the same.
BRO. I REMEMBER!!! I remember playing the heck out of hardball 5. I remember my brother had a PCG subscription-we lived in Alaska, so it was cold and we were bored alot. In the monthly disks, they eventually had an animated coconut monkey that would interact with you. it was so fun. I remember each month, getting excited when the new issue came out, and when we were riding the elevator down, how excited we were for new demos. Man, the days.
DOS games were the way to go back then. I remember Windows 95 games were always slow and laggy regardless of system specs. They also had a lot of videos that used only 4 inches of your 15 inch screen. You had to exit windows to free up enough system resources to play any decent games.
Hey Billy, is there any way to contact you? I'm having a problem with my Pentium 1 Packard Bell and since you're pretty much the authority on these old systems, maybe you could shine some light on the issue?
OMG!! I was looking for this, I remember I was playing this when I was a kid, I am so glad to see this again!! Thank you!!

1996 was my introduction to gaming. All the classics. Good times
I used to love PC Gamer Magazine. I wasn't a subscriber, but my dad would occasionally get new issues at Walmart.
I had Shockwave Assault for the 3DO system. My brother I played that game for hours.

How did you burn the CD to run in Win95? I tried burning the ISO but Win95 doesn't read iso images.
I bought many PC gamer magazine back in 1996 .. then I finally got the internet and the demos discs were becoming pointless.
