Thumbs up

I've just got the news, the rare Computer Gaming World demo of Age of Empires has finally become downloadable. Get it here (also added the link to the first post of the thread).

Here's a copy of the Zombie Wars demo, with the winter version of the park tileset: http://www.mediafire.com/?iufb9eif9v4d6qo

Oddly, the level layout is different than I remembered - however, this has to be the same version I played (found on a coverdisk from June 1997 issue of the "Gambler" computer games magazine).

*shrug*

Apparently, the demo of The Secret of Monkey Island has quite a few differences from the final game. They're documented in great detail here:

[Edit] The same site has interesting stuff concerning other LucasArts games, for instance, Star Wars: Dark Forces:

Dark Forces Pre-Release Versions

Although it isn’t that exciting of a difference, in the demo version of Sango Fighter, the player could watch a demo match by selecting ‘demo’ in the main menu. This feature seems to have been removed from the full version of the game.

Here is a link to the demo version http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Sango_Fighter.html

I've just noticed that a user at Beta Archive Forums has uploaded several different Chasm: The Rift demos:
Quote:
I have collected a handful of different demo versions of Chasm. The most common demo on the internet is version 2.20 which can still be easily found. I have uploaded the following:

Demo 1.02 (the same as in the above post)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KN1YH5U7

Demo 1.05
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PLNUR3EH

Demo 1.32
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GDU05X9Q

And if anyone's interested in Chasm maybe he'll find something here http://www.angelfire.com/games6/chas...mers_files.htm. This is possibly the only Chasm fansite out there
[Edit] Wow, there's even a Chasm: the Rift Wiki... who'd have thought

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Both demo versions of this game (one- and three-missions long) feature unique levels not found in the full version. You can get the demos here:

The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall
Apparently, an exclusive PC Gamer demo of the game, dubbed the "Betony demo", has some extra content (apart from being generally different from the official downloadable demo), including a new city:
Quote:
The demo for Daggerfall takes place in a Betony modified to contain additional content, including the added city of Betony City.
(From The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages article)

You can get both demo versions here:

This demo of Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance appears to be based on a rather early build of the game, with noticeable differences in graphics. Unlike the later demo (found here), this one has both Windows and DOS executables:

According to Litude's Knights and Merchants Fan Site, the tutorial missions found in the demo of Knights and Merchants: The Shattered Kingdom are different from the ones in the full release of the game. Get the demo here. The same town tutorial is also found in the Knights and Merchants: The Peasants Rebellion demo.
