Power Source disc

I found myself with the urge to get this out of the cabinet!


If I remember correctly it was released with a magazine in 1997 and proceeds went to The Prince's Trust. There's a lot of cool stuff on the disc, including a somewhat trippy music video compiling clips of upcoming games:


I was always intrigued as to what game the images of the dolphin swimming through the electricity pylons is from. My dad later brought home a short demo of Depth (known as "Fluid" in Europe), a music game wherein sounds are collected by controlling the dolphin (although I remember that this was hard to do). We were never sure if this was the same game as we couldn't find a full copy, although it now certainly appears to be. I am still intrigued by it!

When I've got some more free time later I think I'll have a bit of a play-around on the disc.

  1. Was the disc a promo sorta thing? Or a demo disc? I've never heard of it...

  2. Both I think. If I remember correctly it came with a magazine in England, I don't know if it was released abroad.
