Closed TimberlAndRE-de closed 3 years ago

TimberlAndRE-de commented 3 years ago

discord user gschmidl suggested to add the demos as a start option to their matching games in eXoDOS since they contain several differences (other levels, specials...) to the final game

AGI Demo Pack 1: Rolling demos for Helicopter Simulator, Police Quest, Thexder, SQ2, Mixed Up Mother Goose, LSL. Sierra

AGI Demo Pack 2: Rolling Demos for Helicopter Simulator, SQ2, Thexder, PQ, LSL, SQ, KQ3, Mixed-Up Mother Goose, KQ2. Sierra.

AGI Demo Pack 4: Rolling demos for Gold Rush, Manhunter NY, Mixed up Mother Goose, PQ, SQ2, LSL. Sierra.

AGI Demo Pack 6: Rolling Demos of SQ, Donald Duck's Playground, KQ3, LSL. Sierra. Different interface than the others

@Python-Exoproject @exoscoriae I wasn't sure if this is more an extra or a game submission ? Please move it if it's wrong... anyways, added to the github folder

additional note from Xavier_velo:

"Warcraft 2 & Command & Conquer Demos also have different levels"

TimberlAndRE-de commented 3 years ago

"No demos unless they're really different from the full game or have unique content"

@XavierVelo if you find proof for other levels in the demo of C&C or Warcraft, open a new issue 👍🏻

eXo: 

I've just looked into the C&C demo. It does not have different levels.  It simply has 3 levels (levels 1, 6, 10)
and the loadout is designed to make them easier
things like getting some mammoth tanks instea dof some humvees
these differences are not nearly big enough to qualify for inclusion

Warcraft 2:

Note: This is an early version of the missions and storyline seen in the retail game. It shares similar mission objectives, but the map designs and briefings are slightly different.
slightly different isn't good enough
...
Tol Ronal: This is an early version of the mission Zul'dare as seen in the retail game. 
Dun Argath: This is an early version of the mission Southshore as seen in the retail game.
Thandol: This is an early version of the mission Assault on Hillsbrad as seen in the retail game.
different names... but all based on existing levels
sounds more like a beta
that was released
