Interesting find by Arethius Rgc: These are french demos of Chaos Control and Burn:Cycle. The boxart is different than what we know of the CD-i versions, but the bottom line clearly states this is also about CD-i. Worth mentioning is that the Burn:Cycle demo also sais: Digital Video on CD-i. But here's the catch: CD-i member Arethius Rgc revealed that these are actually only video presentations of the games. Philips did release more demos, including playable games like the Micro Machines demo which was a disc bundled with CD-i Magazine, and SPC Vision created a Bundle Disc with demos of their CD-i games collected on it, distributed by Free Record Shop, a dutch media entertainment store. These two demos of Chaos Control and Burn:Cycle I've never seen: perhaps they were only released in France and bundled with the french CD-i Magazine.

The Philips Media divisions of each country were operating a bit independent on a certain level, so a high level of local differences were possible. It's interesting to see that apparently there are CD-i demo's that were only released on a local level, while these games were released globally. Who knows if there are more CD-i demo's like this?
