It's not like other hobbies, where you can get yourself equipment and then be set for a year or two. With computer gaming, there are new games coming out every week, each clamboring for your attention. You'd need to be adopted by Bill Gates to keep up with the flow. <br><br> One way to get around this minor monetary issue is to become well versed with the demo downloads!! Most game companies now offer free demos of their software to tease you into buying the full copy. We played our Age of Empires demo for weeks before finally buying the full copy. Whereas in the "old days" demos were cheezy and boring, the new ones let you play entire sets of missions, play head to head, and even customize campaigns! <br><br> Here are some of the latest Strategy Gaming demos that you should try out! And yes, we do own the full copy of each of these games, so I know they rock! <br><br> <A HREF="http://www.aliencrossfire.com/index2.html"> Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/games/age2/downloads.htm#trial"> Age of Empires 2</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.westwood.com/infodir/dlindex/downdemo.html"> Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.ea.com/ea_games/"> Dungeon Keeper</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.sierra.com/"> Homeworld</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.sierra.com/"> Pharoh</A><BR> <A HREF="http://www.blizzard.com/star/scdemo.html"> StarCraft</A><BR> <br><br> <CENTER> <script language="JavaScript">var strCode='';</script> <script src="/code/SendAFriend.asp"></script> <script language="JavaScript">document.write(strCode);</script> </CENTER> <br><br> Need more assistance, or want to share some tips?
