Jetix UK Magazine game demos on included DVDs and VCDs

When reading up some info about the UK Jetix Magazine, I happen to come across info about the PC game demos they packed in on some discs for titles like THQ's PC/Console game for The Incredibles and Sega's Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Heroes (which are from the Windows XP era), and was reminded about RGB Classic Games having a Windows XP-era demo or two last year. (TRON 2.0 and Halo: Combat Evolved for Windows) I was thinking if any of the demos on these Jetix Magazine discs would be okay to be on RGB Classic Games given their demo-ey nature. Some games the site have can be demo-only so as to not piss off the rights holders (TRON 2.0 is available as a full buyable Steam game after all), so I think these, even from a historical perspective, would fit the site well.

Heck, the demo for The Incredibles is a USA demo with the ESRB's RP symbol, as opposed to the PEGI 7 or 12, or BBFC PG it probably got in the UK, their T for Teen equivalent in regards to that game. Some trailers on the DVD-Video parts of the discs even come up with RP and E symbols, which is weird for Britain, though some game ads like Codemasters' Football (Soccer) game they put out there look and play smoothly from what I saw, while the US Spyro ad had screwed up timing, because they lazily PAL'd an NTSC trailer. Weird.
