The Big Bonus [PC Windows][1994-1997] Demo Disc

[Platform]: PC (Possibly MS DOS, Windows 95 or Windows 98)

Genre: Multiple

[Estimated year of release]: 1995-1998

Graphics/art style: Multiple

Notable characters: Demo games

Notable gameplay mechanics: Demo games

Other details: One game I KNOW was on the disc was Zeb, https://kliktopia.org/details/Zeb.html , created in TGF (The Game Factory).

I have a VAGUE memory of having a demo disc for my Windows 95 or Windows 98 PC, that had a whole bunch of games which I believe were demos. I know the above game I mentioned, Zeb, was on it, but there were many other games, that, sadly, I don't remember the name of, but have some memories regarding it.

I think that there was some sort of tunnel delving game in it, where you had to find your sister, and another game looked like some sort of Hunchback of Notre Dam demos as well, one where you're "on rails" and running forward. You had to jump over obstacles, like pits and such. Kind of like The Dinosaur Game. The other Hunchback game was little dudes climbing up on ladders and you had to knock the ladders over or you lost.

I believe the CD was red, and said "demo games" or something of the like, and the menu was red too. When you scrolled down through the list of games a thumbnail and description of the game showed on the right.

Please, I've searched for ages, and have gotten as far as The Game Factory and Zeb, but I'm now at my wits end trying to find this disc, can anyone help me?
