I own the complete collection of discs, do you need any additional info?

I noted you wrote "Eighteen Wheeler American Pro Trucker (may be two titles, they're a little close but there's no indent before American)". It's one title, full name of the game is "Eighteen Wheeler: American Pro Trucker"

I think if a guide were made, one of the key pieces of info would be what discs have content not found anywhere else. Like Toy Commander's holiday mission is an exclusive only found on the demo disc. The Jet Grind Radio demo features brand new cutscenes with Professor K, with him talking about the demo being a special preview of the game. Super Boom Tread Troopers is an exclusive mini-game from developer Digital Eclipse. There were a lot of cool little gems found on the ODCM demo discs.

Oddly enough, the magazine promised VMU files to be on the discs but it never happened. Wonder if that was a technical limitation? Would have been awesome to get DLC and files via the discs.

Actually it did! ODCM disc 2 contained the "Detenator Pack" for Dynamite Cop. It was a bunch of DLC content for the game that gave you access to the online comic strip, unlocking DLC artwork that can be seen in the games Illustration Gallery, as well as unlocking Cindy Holiday from the first game and giving you the ability to unlock the Bruno model from Die Hard Arcade as a playable character.

Ah! Wasn't aware of that! Cool. I have the JP version of Dynamite Cop. Wonder if the file works with that.

Issue 1 did not include a playable demo disc, the first post of this notes that it does, but that's just the same list of games as found on the third demo disc. The first demo disc is simply a PC CD-ROM of promo videos. Here's a photo of it:

I would love to get a complete set of these demo discs with the magazines. One of my few collecting goals though I've never actually seen any (other than a few on Ebay) to buy them.
