    The Winter Releases '97 demo 01 disc contains a release of the MediEvil Rolling Demo. The disc was given out at ECTS 1997.[1]

    The contents of the disc, as well as the music and appearance of its main menu, are similar to the ones of the Registered User Demo 02 demo disc. Both discs have the same Crash Bandicoot 2 demo, MediEvil Rolling Demo, Nightmare Creatures demo, Parappa The Rapper demo and Final Fantasy VII promo video. The volume creation and file dates on the discs suggest that Winter Releases '97 demo 01 served as the basis for the Registered User Demo 02 disc.

It features many elements that were eventually cut, replaced or repurposed; from health pick-ups like Energy Bones and Lives to HUD elements like the Score Counter and Rune Stone Menu. There are also references to 10 cut levels inside the demo's executable.
