Message: [QUOTE="Ian Naxieas, post: 62081, member: 4966"] Holy actual fuck. No joke, this topic made me think of the demo for that game but I couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me. I've looked in the past and haven't been able to find it either. I was actually going to make a post about it on the "Can't remember the name of that game from your past?" thread after this, BUT THERE IT IS. Thank you for that, you're my hero. ? Ahem, anyway, one of my favorite demos was the original Armored Core. There were only a couple levels to play, but the real meat of the demo was the multiplayer mode. It only had one stage, but all the parts in the game were unlocked for you to build your own custom mech. Many hours were spent with my friends and I experimenting and having a blast with different builds. Didn't even need to buy the game. x) Off the same demo disc was Intelligent Qube! I've never been a fan of puzzle games, but that one got it's hooks in me. I remember feeling creeped out by it at first. No music, just surrounded by a black void with the sounds of your footsteps, the cubes slamming down and your character yelling when you were pushed off the stage and into the darkness. Good stuff. There was the Metal Gear Solid demo too. It was a nice chunk of the game, from the very beginning up to the end of the cutscene with the DARPA Chief. There were neat things you could find if you explored, like getting the Nikita launcher from a floor vent near the end of the demo. There is an item there in the full game, but it's not the Nikita. Laaaame. There were tons of Codec conversations and I even remember Colonel Campbell telling you to take a rest because "You never know when a long demo is about to begin(or end, can't remember)". It's super interesting that there's a spoken line in the demo acknowledging that it's a demo. Leave it to Kojima I guess. Finally, it wasn't a playable demo, but I watched the trailer for Parasite Eve over and over again. It's very similar to the opening movie that plays Primal Eyes, but it uses the songs Kyrie and Influence of the Deep instead. Primal Eyes is great, but I prefer the two hit combo instead. Have a looksie for yourself! [MEDIA=youtube]BPyR9qgcdAU[/MEDIA] We weren't the best off, so I played more demo discs than actual games for the longest time. x) At least it helped me make good purchasing decisions when I had income of my own.
