I remember there was actually a pizza Hut commercial in a Playstation 1 demo disc. It was one of the Pizza Hut sampler discs.

Things are different now.

That was actually a solid deal because most people didn't have game collections or exposure to a lot of great titles.

Whoever got away with putting Metal Gear Solid on one of the demo discs changed my life. It's a shame we'd never see something like that in the modern day.

I miss demo discs. But going on YouTube and Twitch I think also kinda changed how people see what games they want.

Thanks to demo discs I got into Resident Evil 2, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, WWF Smackdown and few other games.
