two demos i am playing atm that i want share here
- Lethal Weapon, taken from Amiga Power 20 - imo just how the final release shoud have been, memory talking; in a single load, the intro, the playable pregame part (with different music), and the complete first level, great; the final release keeps loading all the time, no matter how much ram you have EDIT : spoke too fast, there is a time limit in the demo stage ,btw the better ram use remains - Turbo Terminator, from The One 54, second disk - this was the pre-release name of Prime Mover; great to fasten test the game, ofc just one track but also one loading SMOOTH!

sometimes demo version are released different from the game only to show a gameplay or what you could expect in the final version. Some times these demo have different level, different graphics or sound.

Been doing Videos on Coverdisks for a good few months now,
and come across a bunch of games that have been different or had unique levels in the demos. Chuck Rock 2 had a new levels. Super Frog had some changes in art and sound effects. Harliquin's art was a bit different and the level layout was changed. Most likely come across others that I hadn't played the full game so don't have a reference. But its been lots of fun, just a shame there are so many coverdisks that haven't been archived. also found quite a few demo's that didn't get a full release. [ Show youtube player ] |

AF1 coverdisk had New Zealand Story perfect music bug free, while the final game version has a lot of sound glitches

other two that i'm having fun with
the Gods Amiga Format 22 demo, that interestingly has some differences in the level, some less bonuses but some more treasures too, like that door when you climb the first ladder and Disposable Hero, the first Amiga Format 47 demo (1993 and not 1994) cool different music, not bad at all, and the weapons menu also different |

Best coverdisk game for me was Obsession Pinball. It was a whole table, which I somehow enjoyed more than the Pinball Dreams. It was also the first game that I got to require 1MB chip and it didn't work on Amiga 500 with 512 KB slow RAM expansion. Later the full release worked on Amiga 500 I think. The game was so good, that I had to acquire A600 next to my A500.

i just wanna spend two words for The Lost Patrol demo, CU Amiga 64
the demo itself is sadly VERY short and time limited, but the interesting thing is that the map has more places to visit, and also his graphic is slight different, with a different color palette interestingly, also some different members names or exchanged that demo was probably made before all the cuts made to fasten the release bitd Last edited by kremiso; 07 January 2023 at 12:58. |

wondering what's the story behind the Myth - history in the making preview demo (Zero 23 - 1991), that use a different main character with long blue hair;
the Atari ST had a similar different demo too, but the final game never came out on ST no sfx, but an imo cool music ingame, atmospheric AMIGA [ Show youtube player ] ATARI ST [ Show youtube player ] iirc also the cd32 version does not have music ingame, just sfx Last edited by kremiso; 08 January 2023 at 13:40. |

the CU Amiga Speris Legacy demo (September 1995)
does work also on OCS systems, requiring just a 1MB RAM the curious thing is that it was a later and not an early demo sadly VERY short, but interesting for the OCS thing imo Last edited by kremiso; 12 January 2023 at 18:15. |
