The Demos You Played For The Games You Didn't

Sometimes you never get around to buying the full game. With these, you should.

The Demos You Played For The Games You Didn't

As a medium, video games have a long, storied history with demos. From the Wolfenstein 3D shareware to the Mecha BREAK Demo, they've played a role in promoting games. At one point, we were inundated with them. Every gaming magazine you purchased would come with one. They'd even be used to sell other games. If you wanted that tantalizing Metal Gear Solid 2 demo, you were going to have to pony up for Zone of the Enders. While demos disappeared for a solid decade or so, they've seen quite a resurgence in recent years.
