Gunship 2000 A 1992 remake of the classic 1986 MicroProse game, Gunship , which is a combat helicopter simulator. The demo has four missions featuring three different helicopters. You can either watch the pre-recorded demos of each mission, or switch to interactive flight mode and control the chopp...

I've stumbled upon yet another beta demo of Powerslave , presumably released somewhere between the first public beta and the demo builds that are identical to the final release of the game. This demo (it's called "freeware" in the readme) still has the beta title screen, and a rolling intr...

Perhaps it's Beasts & Bumpkins?

Glad to hear that :) Here are a few more: Radix: Beyond the Void v2.0 REMIX Both dosgames.com and dosgamesarchive.com offer Radix: beyond the Void v1.1, yet there exists an upgraded version 2.0, which was significantly improved over v1.1. Most importantly, forced forward movement was disabled in fav...

The shareware version of Rise of the Triad starts with the player jumping down a high catwalk, and while there is no rain per se , there are flashes of lightning and rolling thunder. The first level of Chasm: the Rift starts in a rainy outside location, but you mentioned it's not Chasm . Do you reme...

BTW, RGB Classic DOS Games has both v1.0 and v2.0 of Duke Nukem shareware:

May I suggest a few games for your consideration to be hosted at dosgamesarchive.com? Chasm: The Rift A noteworthy 3D FPS similar to Quake in some aspects (albeit with a less powerful engine), made by an Ukrainian development team. The three-level demo shows a somewhat earlier build of the game, wit...

The shareware episode downloadable at 3D Realms' website spells the title with the U.

An acquaintance of mine told me that he vaguely remembers some game that could have been a mod or a hack of Warlords (or, more likely, Warlords II ), where, among other things, it was possible to buy production of normally unbuildable units in the castles. Does anyone know of such a modification? (O...

You're welcome! Thanks to you for the nice site

Quite unexpectedly, I have found the demo of War Diary: War Diary Demo There's also a split download as well: War Diary Demo Part 1 War Diary Demo Part 2 War Diary Demo Part 3 The demo features the first two levels of the full version, and if you never played this game before, I suggest you check it...

Here's what I've found so far: Civilisation Demo (non-playable) Haven't been able to run it though (DOSBox) F-19 Stealth Fighter Demo (non-playable) Even though it is not playable, it's worth checking out. It's a spectacular record of a mission in Northern Europe. Master of Magic Demo (beta) There s...

Wow, guys... that's a lot of useful links and tips, thanks a bunch :D ....and no; I won't do monkey work for you. I didn't expect that :) Just thought that maybe someone would know for sure from their experience if such or such demo of a game exists or not (finding an existing demo is often hard eno...

Not long ago I have found a demo of Chasm: The Rift that is different from the one hosted by dosgames.com. The demo is located at Theodor Lauppert's Game Gallery . There are three missions from the full game (with possible minor differences from the final release), and a voiced-over briefing intro. ...

...The only thing is, I'm not even sure those demos exist in the first place :huh: Here's the list: Alien Legacy Blood & Magic Catacomb 3-D ( not Catacomb Abyss) Civilization Civilization II F-15 Strike Eagle II F-19 Stealth Fighter ( not NightHawk F-117A Stealth Fighter) Heroes of Might and Mag...

Maybe it's one of them Settlers series games?

Isn't there already a database at Abandonia that lists which games are sold and which aren't? Or is it inaccurate?

Hello, I felt obliged to report the following. I've noticed that the Street Fighter II download is not a "Playable demo", but seemingly the full version of the game, complete with a copy protection hack. The only demo of this game that I know of is the Super Street Fighter II Turbo demo av...
