I have a new 30GB hard drive and I only use about 5GB (that includes several games I haven't gotten around to deleting) so any size demo would be fine for me. I don't know if I would download a demo, though. Usually I find them frustrating because I'm limited in what I can do. Also, I know how Civ works (except for the new resource system and some other goodies) so it's just as well to wait for the game to be released.Formerly known as Masuro.

Well, I downloaded the Tropico demo at 172MB without blinking, but I have DSL. Perhaps there can be two demos? One huge one (200+ MB is o.k.) for fast connections and one for 56K?I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

By the way, I should also mention here that the Tropico demo is masterful. You can play 50 game years SCORED and then keep playing un-scored. Of course, some key buildings and features are disabled, but you get fantastically hooked by the demo because of all the freedom you have to play. That, in turn, inticed me to buy the full game.I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

That would seem to be wise. For Escape From Monkey Island, there was a 34M, all the way up to a 81M demoOriginally posted by yin26

It didn't increase the limits of the demo to have more download, just your graphics options and whether you got the movie.
As for myself, I would probably try to get it in a game magazine, and barring that, download the thing overnight. I did it with the Diablo II demo months before it was on a mag CD.
How much? about 120MB would be the limit. any more than that and it ties up the phone into the day. Where's My Go!Zilla?Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST

As long as it can fit on a zip disk I'd be happy. While I only have 33.6 connection at home, the lab I work in is a T1 and has zip disks for quick transfer. Towards that end, 95MB tops. Or split the demo into two files.Comment

Almost any size would be good for me...That means I don't want to download a game demo larger than 1 GB (You know, download limit)
This space is empty... or is it?Comment

My same opinion. I must stop to around 80 MB for download, because my dial up line go down so often that usually my Go!Zilla goes crazy trying to keep all pieces togheterOriginally posted by Father Beast

Yep, make it as big as it needs to be and those of us with no access to high speed downloads can wait for a coverdisk. I'd rather see that than get something so hopelessly chopped that it gives a flawed impression.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
