Darmik 04/26/21 12:00:28 AM #1:	I've been a huge Hitman fan since I got a demo of Codename 47 with a PC magazine. The demo was actually pretty flawed since the ideal way to finish the mission was more difficult since I think you needed to take a gun from someone else before planting it in the bathroom while in the full game you'd start with one. But still the sandbox sort of design was mindblowing back then. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:953232108] in Which demo...

Bad_Mojo 04/26/21 12:06:52 AM #4:	Oh wow, that's a good question. If I had to pick the first one that game to my head it would be that one boxing game on the Dreamcast. Ready 2 Rumble or something. But that's not really a franchise Ohhhhh, I'm going to say Guitar Hero. Playing that inside of stores really got me hooked and made me go out and get all of them for a long while.

loafy013 04/26/21 12:10:21 AM #6:	I had an old demo disc with Tomba! on it. I scoured every inch of that demo, trying to do everything available before I hit the end of it multiple times.
