I have one question for you:

Is it link for full version of Take Your Best Shot by 7th Level ??
Because I installed this game yesterday and today I played this game.

Game number one:
Head Shot has only 10 levels to play, and should has 50 levels.
Is it demo version or full version of this game??

Game numer two:
Hot Shot has 7 orginal levels and for me is OK.

And last game number three: Line Shot is for me OK.

In orginal description this game write that game what I think Head Shot, should have 50 levels in orginal version.

Here is orginal description and Internet page:

https://archive.org/details/hotdemo

"Welcome to the online version of Hot Shot. These three rounds of
twisted arcade fun are taken from the complete version of Hot Shot,
one of the three arcade games in Take Your Best Shot from 7th Level.
Take Your Best Shot is based on Bill Plympton's genious animation
and includes 50 levels of game play, a stress reliever, screen
savers, wallpapers, desktop icons and more than 200 audio clips.

Hot Shot

So you want to be a hot shot? Take a shot at this game and you can
call yourself a twisted hot shot."

Have somebody other full version of this game ?? Can somebody help me ??
Can somebody upload for me other full version of this game (with all 50 levels of game play) ??

Actually, your description implies that whole Take Your Best Shot game have 50 levels. Not "50 levels in Head Shot". So if somehow other games have 40 levels altogether, they would satisfy the description. :) (I have no idea if it is really this way - I never seen the game).

Hi again!

Thank you very much for your interest in my problem :)
I don't know whether you understand what I write here to you.
I hope that yes so:

I don't know on 100%, whether - that game number one: Head Shot should have 50 levels and more than, but about/more or less three maybe four years ago just I played full version of this game and it seems to me, that just game numer one: Head Shot should have 50 levels. I don't know whether I remember good.

All games together for sure haven't in total 50 levels of game play only one with this games :) Full package games from series Take Your Best Shot by 7th Level have three games. In my opinion game number one: Head Shot just had 50 levels of game play, but I don't know whether I remember good, but probably yes.

Here is description number two and write too, that game should have 50 levels :

"Your Computer Never Had You Laughing Like This

Zany. Warped. Outrageous. It's Take Your Best Shot - the stress-relieving arcade experience from the people who brought you Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time! Now, 7th Level brings you the genius of award-winning animator Bill Plympton to your PC with arcade games that will have you doubled over with laughter.

Best Shot - The Stress Reliever: Finally, you can let someone have it without hearing from his lawyer. Choose from a menu of abuse to get back at bosses, bureaucrats and busybodies: all the bullies who bother you on a bi-hourly basis. Laugh yourself silly as you punch, smash and blast your way through these riotous episodes.

Line Shot: Step up to a whole new ball game - Plympton style. Test your batting skills against the machine, or grab a friend and go nine innings. We might send you a fast ball or throw you a curve. If you can keep your eye on the ball, you could put one over the fence.

Hot Shot: Remember Pong? Well, here's our enhanced and twisted tribute to Atari's ground-breaking computer game. Two paddles are tough, and four paddles will really keep your fingers and brain racing. See if you can keep up as the action gets hot.

Head Shot: Talk about a head game! These guys are really in your face. To escape, you'll have to knowck them out one by one - without missing the ball. But Beware! Some of these guys require multiple strikes, and to go all the way you'll have to dodge death-dealing lightning bolts.

Plus these other great extras:

More than 200 outrageous audio clips including explosive keyboard noises

18 side-splitting interactive screen savers, 18 "living" and 10 static wallpapers, plus custom wallpaper you create from any game

32 eye-popping desktop icons

"Hot keys" and bonus rounds

Over 50 levels of game play

Joysticks supported"

But I haven't much time for exploring the problem, unfortunately (I am going to vacation for week, starting today). I'll check game in question after my return.

Actually, I checked CD right now. Played thru Hot Shot and checked help file for everything.

And now I totally sure that you read description text wrong.

You are promised 50 levels of gameplay thru whole CD - and you got it, plain and square:

1. Head Shot. It have 10 levels for each difficulty level, resulting in 30 levels.
2. Hot Shot is the same, only it's 7 levels per difficulty, making 21.
3. Line Shot is only one.

So you are received 52 levels of fun! So to speak.

I fear, there is nothing more in this game. Help file doesn't mention anything else. Sorry.

Ok , so I understood bad. It's my fault. I admit to and apologize for the confusion in connection with this game. You're probably right. Everything is correct. So, I understood, that it is full version of this game :) Ermuli uploaded full version of this game, what you think about it ?
Now, for me is all OK. Thank you for the explanation of the problem.

All the best,

Ermuli uploaded full version of this game, what you think about it ?
Honestly? I think, game is quite weak. There are much more much better games in such vein.

But you know, I saw now and I wondered earlier why, after unpacking the file from Ermuli BESTSHOT.rar, appears in the file folder named BESTDEMO (and in this folder different files the game)...

Did you have the same ?? You wrote, that you tested this game for me.

I hope this folder forming part of the full game... because as you wrote levels agree.

What do you think about it ??

It's just because it wasn't archive. I have no idea what archiver did you use (my bet is WinRar, because it _can_ "unpack" disc images), but actually it is disc image inside rar. CUE/BIN, ISO, or MDF/MDS pair, I cannot remember (and no, I haven't image anymore, as I erased it already). You are supposed to write it to the real disc... or use any CD/DVD emulation software, like Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc) (Lite version is free and is my tool of choice). Then you'll see real structure... and yes, "BESTDEMO" is one directory of it. I believe, it's self-running demo, like screensaver, while you put game in idle state, because it's very little comparing to the rest of CD. But I didn't examine it too much.

Yes, you are absolutely right. While playing in each of the three games (for example: Hot Shot) as this game is for a longer period time running in idle, automatically turns on the Demo and visualization of the game.

I think it is definitely related to the folder "BESTDEMO".

Now I know and I am convinced that this is certainly full version of the game.

Thank you for everything. I think that is a topic resolved and closed.
