Does anyone have the demo versions of UAKM, Pandora, and Overseer? These would be great for having newcomers test them out to encourage them to buy the games on GOG.
I sent an e-mail to Big Finish Games asking if they had demo versions of the games, and they said they would look for them. If they don’t have them, do any of you have them?
I have the UAKM demo lying around here somewhere, but I haven’t tried get it to work with DosBox yet, but I’m sure that shouldn’t be too hard. I don’t have demos for the other two games though. The UAKM demo was short and only included the alley behind Rook’s, but it did include the conversations with Clint the Bum. How big was the Pandora demo? Did it include just one location, or an entire Day? I believe the Overseer demo included Day One in its entirety. Is that correct? That would be a great demo to get people to buy the games.
It appeared to be a bit of a tedious process to get the full games working in modern OSes, and the effort paid of for the full versions which are now on GOG. I doubt whether or not someone would bother creating self-sufficient install packages in the same fashion for the demos.
For $10 people can buy the full game, or occasionally score a deal when they are on special on GOG. Demo's for older games are almost redundant these days because of this.
That's just my $0.02
