Tribes demos on Youtube!

After rediscovering the joy of watching the demos that came with Tribes, I decided to record them and stick them on Youtube. Quality's not top, but it's great to see them again.

So far I've only uploaded my favourites, but I'll ventually get around to doing all of them. I think it's a fantastic idea to ship a game with demos. Maybe I'm just biased in the case of Tribes - when I got the game after they released it free, online play wasn't exactly beginner-friendly. I found it a ton of fun to watch (presumably) the devs and testers playing the game, even though some of them weren't much better than me!

Suxors aka Mikea? was a king that I enjoyed playing with on a daily basis for nearly a decade. It seems like such a long time ago....

You should check out his vids as well at www.youtube.com/user/dev2225.
