I believe that there will be a Demo for the game, however, it might be
several weeks before the demo is ready.   They spent most of the time
trying to finish the game and now that it has shipped, I believe that
they are working on a demo.

At this point the game is still strickly a DOS game.    It will not
even run properly under the GUI of Windows 95.   So the answer woulld
be no.

Our first games that are going to be Win95 games are going to be
released sometime after the beginning of the year.  There are not
going to be any Win95 games released this year.

Thanks.   Glad that you are enjoying them.    Wait till you see
Crusader.   It is a GREAT game.

That unfortunately goes back to the fact that we are not going to be
doing any Win95 games for many more months.    :(  Sorry.

Well, I'm going to buy and try the game but I'll be buying it at EB.  EB, 
Software Etc, and Babbages all have a policy which allows you to return 
games you don't care for so there's no risk involved.  Maybe a little 
inconvenience having to take a game back but you certainly aren't going to 
lose your money for a lousy game. I wouldn't buy a game where I can't 
return it. Neither should anyone else.
