This is a demo for the PC version of FFVII that came along with Tomb Raider 3 back in 1997, one year before the PC version was released. It's probably the first FFVII PC demo.

The demo takes place within Mt. Corel and North Corel and the world map cannot be accessed. I haven't played the PC version, but I'm not seeing any major differences from the PS version. The most notable thing here is that Cloud has Bahamut equipped, a summon you normally find inside the Temple of the Ancients. Just like in the Tobal demo, you have a forced party of Cloud, Aeris and Barret. The save point is present, but you don't have access to the PHS and Save menus. If you fall through the railroad tracks, there's no coming back, as the area with the treasures doesn't exist in this demo. This is shown at the end of the video. If you notice anything else out of the ordinary, please let me know.

I couldn't figure out how to change the controls, so I had to use the num-pad, which was really awkward. For example, I had to hold 0 to run and use 2, 4, 6 and 8 for directions and that was everything but easy, so please excuse the somewhat sloppy running here and there.

PS. I forgot that the Bagnadranas were immune to Fire.
