The Vision Factory Bundle Disc | Hub, Free Record Shop | SPC, Codim | 1994 | Demo Compilation | - | not tested |
Game Facts: Although not a commercial release in itself, The Vision Factory Bundle Disc is worth special mention. As a demo compilation the disk featured Dimo's Quest, Steel Machine, The Apprentice and also Accelerator a good three years before it was eventually released! Also known as the Free Gold Club Disc it was available as a covermount from the Dutch CD-i Magazine Issue 1 published in October 1994 through HUB and part of a promotional effort from the Free Record Shop a chainstore based in the Netherlands. The disk stands as one of the few examples of the SPC Vision and Codim label used together on a single piece of software for the short lived partnership between the two companies. Besides the fact that this is one of only two true demo disks ever produced for CD-i games (the other being the Micro Machines demo), another peculiarity was the use of mugshots for the credits. Giving photos and attached notes for most of The Vision Factory Crew with typical SPC Vision humour, these have been captured and posted in the below credits boxout. |
