I still remember the 3 level demo CD they made. Awesome demo levels that made me buy the game, which is still one of my favorite games of all time.

My parents never bought me the full game so I probably played those demo levels 100s of times. Thanks for the memory trigger haha.

Was the demo version a separate story campaign like the Starcraft one was?

  • MobyGames [1] claim they are unique missions. More or less the same story, but different maps, objectives and briefing text.

    Maybe I need to re-download it, and check out the differences. I remember playing those six missions so many times before eventually saving up enough pocket money to buy the game, but I don't exactly remember them being different.

    And it's actually six maps, three for each faction.

Yeah! My intro to the series was the 3-level WC1 demo. I was absolutely blown away as I had never played any game like that before it. Instantly obsessed haha
