Registered User Demo 02

The Registered User Demo 02 disc contains a release of the MediEvil Rolling Demo. It was sent exclusively to people who registered their PlayStation console with Sony. In the United Kingdom, copies of the disc were initially sent out in late 1997.[1] It is unknown when the disc was sent out in other regions.

The contents of the disc, as well as the music and appearance of its main menu, are similar to the ones of the Winter Releases '97 demo 01 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 Registered User Demo 02 is based on the Winter Releases '97 demo 01 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.
