Prime Selection Vol. 1 (プライムセレクションＶｏｌ．１) is a demo disc for the Sega Saturn, released exclusively in Japan. It is seemingly a somewhat little known release, and as such is difficult to come by.

The disc contains 5 video previews for Saturn games and a single level playable demo of the first level of Clockwork Knight: Pepperouchau no Daibouken Gekan.

The demo of Clockwork Knight: Pepperouchau no Daibouken Gekan has a burn/compile date of 20 days prior to that of the Japanese retail release of the game, and as such there are a few object/enemy differences seen within the demo, among other small differences.
