I saw those carts, aren't those NFR carts that are the same as the final version?

I dunno...I guess I was just kinda' surprised that demo's would be something worth tracking/making database entries for...

Post by: scott on January 30, 2014, 12:07:27 pm: We have a boat load of demos in the database already. The main reason for doing this is to help clean up the main catagories, there's nothing worse than sifting through a ton of demos while browsing game list.

Makes sense.

I almost never download or play/try any demo's (I pretty much know enough about what I'll like & what will be worth buying for myself); that I'm not the "right guy" to make any judgement on us having/not having demo's ;D
Title: Re: Demos now have their own categories
Post by: matt on January 30, 2014, 12:33:40 pm: I used to obsessively collect all of the PS2 demos.

We'll be making a few more changes later tonight to help clear things up a bit. I'll post an update then.

Indeed you could ;D

(Then...you could also read what the Style Guide has to say about the "S.W.A.G." category) ;)

I know you added some Not For Resale carts, but I'm still wondering if they're exactly the same as retail carts or not... I mean, a demo implies an unfinished preview version or one that ends at a certain point. If the games are the same as retail... then they're not really demos. Just NFR carts. >_>
Title: Re: Demos now have their own categories
Post by: soera on February 03, 2014, 09:49:39 pm: They are kiosk demos.http://www.smstributes.co.uk/view_page.asp?articleid=36#demos is a good description of them. :)
