I think the only version of Simon The Sorceror I played WAS a demo - never got around to getting the full thing as I recall.

So I'm sure it's bound to be out there somewhere for you Ginster.

And while I think about it....I'm sure the full version is out there somewhere for ME.....

*goes a searching for another Christmas present*

I have nothing else to add.

I believe that googling will bring up a demo for Simon the Sorceror.

I've been in the same room as Charles Cecil.

That isn't as good.

I have nothing else to add.

I read that issue of Retro Gamer, I was thinking of scanning that article myself.

Cheers for saving me the effort.

Just to make another useless comment: it's Simon the SorcerEr, not 'Or'. Flies in the face of almost every other word ending, but that'd how it's spelled, bizarrely...

I never realised that. You are correct sir.

Anyway, a quick google brought this up for a demo:

I haven't downloaded or tried it yet, but it's worth a shot!
