This subject comes up every once in a while on the list. Some demos only let you play part of the game. Lone Wolf and Shades of Doom are examples. You do get a feel for the game, although you have only scratched the surface of the full game. Some people will get the demo and never buy it, because they got a pretty good little game for nothing. So, sometimes, the developer loses sales. I bought both games, and am glad I did, because there is so! much! more! in the full version than there was in the demo. But those demos gave me enough of a feel for the game to tell me that I wanted the full versions. -- On Thanksgiving day, be like a turkey.
