Well, the Demo is Free
...And I once again express my gladness for free game demos. A long time ago, an old, top-notch magazine called Computer Gaming World, used to send a CD with every issue. I liked those--a lot! As it helped to separate the Possible from the Keepers. Yes, it's a lot of work and effort to produce a demo, but I think organizations like GOG will soon require some kind of demo toward keeping down the costs of doing returns and the frustrations of the players. This demo shows dated graphics enough that it became a distraction. The gameplay was okay: Roam around and kill things while trying to stay alive. I saw all manner of alerts that, I guess, would tell me that there was action going on in some other portion of the map. Good effort from the Developers if they were issuing a game from the 1990s. Had I purchased the game (it was on my wishlist), I think that the two hours invested would have led me to seek a refund and delete the game from my computer. There's too much competition for a game like this to survive beyond a small, niche market.
