Policenauts: Private Collection

Prior to releasing the standard version of the game, Konami issued the Policenauts: Pilot Disk for the 3DO on April 21, 1995. This disc contains a playable demo, an encyclopedia of the game’s backstory, featurettes, and information about the game’s voice actors and developers. Policenauts: Private Collection was released for the PlayStation on February 9, 1996, featuring much of the same content as the Pilot Disk, adding an earlier version of the game’s script as well. The encyclopedia, featurettes and shooting trainer are included as hidden features in the Saturn version.

This disk was released to accompany the full game and allows you to try the shooting sections. It also contains footage of other versions, interviews and the making of plus a dictionary of in game terms, soundtrack and gallery. Shows the experimentation at work combining film and game media that would come to greater prominence in the ‘Metal Gear’ series.
