Are these screenshots known?

Today I was going through an used goods store when I stumbled upon a disc made by a Spanish magazine with screenshots and interviews for the games coming up in 2000. The thing that caught my eye was that, on the label, was a shot of Ryo and Shenhua.

I dumped the screenshots (That's all it has, apart from a video of MSR that looks like a attract run) here. Is there anything unknown here?

It's the beta/alpha before Shenmue was split in two games (Shenmue I and Shenmue II).

They are images that are part of the Official Press Release for the original game. Here is a link to some pics (the images are at the end) :)

if the disk is a gdi for dreamcast, dump it! :mrgreen:
if for the sake of preservation, and the working emulators/ode's. (reminds me, got to do my demos and squash them for share...) :P

What?

What are you trying to say?
Did anyone talk about gdi disks?

I really don't get it.

seriously?
so demos and PROMOS never was a gdi print?
read the actual OP. (FFS!)

and YES, i have DEMOS and PROMOS (a few, not many) that ARE gdi, and WON'T read in a standard optical drive.
....
on the flipside, shenmue 2 is gdi, but a small section is visible in ordinary optical drives, the EXTRAS! (sidetrack there, making a point.)

Sorry if i offended you.

No disrespect intended, i just assumed it was a standard cd rom, like so many magazines used at the time.
The only gdi discs with trailers and demos for the dreamcast, were as far as i know, only distributed with the official magazine.
