Polymega Gameplays - Power Source [PlayStation - PAL - Extended Set]
1Released in 1996, this playable demo disc was made in partnership with The Prince's Trust. All the cash from purchasing the demo disc went to charity, so this was made for a good cause. It also contained a contest for two lucky people to get into the video game industry with The Prince's Trust providing support. Who won the grand prize is still unknown, since it ended a long time ago. This disc also introduced people to Net Yaroze (and even included an exclusive Net Yaroze game), as well as including a showreel that showcased the line-up for late 1996 and 1997, all played to the song "Londinium" by Archive. Can you name all the games from the "Blown Away" video?

GOOFS AND ERRORS: The demo for Robotron X happens to play the music track from Excalibur 2555AD, which is also on the disc. Is it related to the emulation or is it always the case on the original hardware? You decide.
