Enclosures
As shown in the above top-right picture, Issue 1.4 came with 3D glasses to wear. To be honest, they really didn't do anything special, and only made my eyes hurt while wearing them. To be complete, the volume must have these glasses.

Trivia
  • The Metal Slug Demo was actually supposed to be a huge hint that the game would be coming out to America, but ended up being dropped. Eventually Metal Slug X, a far superior version, would make it stateside.

  • The PlayStation Truck still rolls on, currently in PS2 Truck Form. You can bet your Dual Shock it will soon be a PS3 Truck.

  • There is a rather amusing glitch in the Crash Bandicoot 2 demo. When standing on the first jumpy box that sits beneath a mango crate, Jump off and to the left of it, and then jump again into the wall. About 50% of the time if you hit the right area, you'll fall through the graphic and plummet to your death.
