Title: Guess what I found.
Post by: MicroPsycho on August 05, 2004, 06:03:11 pm

I was looking at the files on Disc 2 of the original FS because they popped up because of WinXP when I inserted the disk and I found 3 game demos on it! Die By the Sword, Buldur's Gate and some powerboat racing game. I know FS is old and this probably isn't news but its kinda cool.

Yeah, back in those days not so many games were big enough to use 2 full CDs. So with all the extra space, Interplay took the chance to stick in some demos. ;)

That Die by the Sword demo was pretty fun.  I was considering picking up a copy of the full game for a while, but then Interplay's online store closed.  I especially liked the range-of-motion control for the character's sword arm; nothing like hacking the limbs off an opponent :p.

Nah, they stopped putting demos on to make space for the 300page PDF manual :)

well...in old games they didn't fill the entire CD (audience gasp) (or 2 cds in this case..., so they figured, what the hell, lets put more advertising in!

or at least that's my explainiation.


Well...not the only explainiation, but the one with the gnomes doesn't make too much sense.
