I would take the N64 claim with a grain of salt. This is a disc image of a CDROM better known as "Impact Demos CD for 5.3 Version 2.0", SGI part# 812-0447-002.

These demos were to show off the graphics capabilities of the then new IMPACT graphics cards for the Indigo2 workstation.

There are three demo installers on the CD: certain impact, impact demos and mekton. Mekton will install on the Indigo2 IMPACT ('MGRAS') and the Onyx with Reality Engine ('Venice') and is a game. You can see it here:


certain impact and the impact demos only install on 'MGRAS' systems. You can probably force-install it on an Onyx because the hardware is more than capable.

I know development for N64 was initially done on Onyx. But this is not a disc with Onyx demos. It mostly doesn't even install on Onyx.
