Mega CD Lunar Eternal Blue (Not For Resale) Demo
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2020 9:56 pm
Hey guys! I managed to get my hands on the obscure Mega CD demo disc of Lunar Eternal Blue. Since there isn't much of any information on this demo floating around out there, I wanted to try my best to go through and document my findings on the disc. Not only for my own curiosity, but for the Lunar Community as a whole. Feel free to use any of this stuff on the main website if you all want to. I ripped the contents of the disc as a .cue and .bin file so I wouldn't have to touch the disc more than I have to, since I want to keep this thing as pristine as I can. I am currently trying to go through everything I can on this disc. As I find more stuff, I will update this thread. First things first, here are images of the disc!
As for what is on the disc itself, I will start by saying it isn't very big in size. So most likely, all that is on here is the video demo. However, I did find an odd thing on the disc I will go over later. So it is possible there is more than just the video, but you can't access it by normal means. If you just try the play the disc on a Mega CD, all you will get is the video. Speaking of the video, you can watch that here:
The disc is only a little over 31MB, so that is why I am guessing there really isn't much on here other than the video, but there could be some stuff hidden on here.
As for the files on the disc. The disc itself is labeled as LUNAR2. There are not very many files on the disc since it is only 31MB. All of the files are the disc are either from October 19th or October 20th of 1994. So this was only a couple of months before the game released in Japan. For those curious, these are the files on the disc:
After seeing the files, I decided to open the .txt files to see if anything interesting was in those. I did find something odd in the very first file. Possible left over stuff from Lunar The Silver Star? This is what makes me think maybe could be other things hidden on this disc. I mean, there might not be, but I thought this was odd.
The other .txt had nothing really exciting in them.
The only other thing I have for now are screenshots of the video itself. I took screenshots of things I thought were interesting and all of the Japanese text, but you can watch the video if you want to see the whole thing. I am not sure how much more this post can handle. I know I probably shouldn't be double posting, but I don't want to overload this post lol. I will post the screenshots in another post. Feel free to merge the posts if this isn't acceptable.
