An achievement over 10 years in the making!

Around 1990-1991 a buddy of mine (who was working at Software Etc at the time) gave me a copy of the Martian Memorandum demo (on a 3.5" floppy) that was running in the store. It wasn't a playable game demo but an installable trailer. Years later, around 2001, I started searching for this demo/trailer and was never able to find it. It is not part of the playable demo that can be found on the internet today.

After a recent big household move, I came across a box and, to my surprise, I found the floppy that my buddy gave me. Of course, I no longer have a floppy drive and couldn't do anything with it for a while. After acquiring a usb floppy drive, I figured I would give it a shot. I didn't expect much success considering the disk was around 20 years old. After much fiddling and tweaking, to my great surprise, I actually was able to extract the files and successfully install it!!

I immediately thought of all you fellow Tex fans and converted the trailer/demo into a WMV for upload.

Is anyone interested? Or have I overlooked it and it is available here already?

James?

Funny how I had to move my entire household thousands of miles to find something I had all along! :D

I'm fairly certain I speak for all of us when I say go right ahead, we're interested!
