Demo quest 2.72?

[speak]

Where can I download the editable demo game originally included in AGS 2.72?  The link they currently have doesn't seem to include it, and, as someone starting from scratch on the programming side of things, reading through a functioning script would be very helpful.  I started studying up with the 3.1.2 demo scripts, but I want to switch back to 2.72 since every other resource out there seems to be for this version.

As far as I know there was no demo game for that version of AGS.

That's a really bad idea. 3.1.2 (or 3.2) isn't just about the huge editor revamp, it has loads of bugfixes, too.
What exactly do you mean by "every other resource"? You can use templates and modules that were made for 2.72; it's not ideal but perfectly possible.

If you want to read through functioning scripts, browse threads with interesting titles right here in the Beginner's or the Technical forums. It's what I did and it helped me a great deal.

By resources I mean the AGS wiki and the online manual... I'll have to look through some of the scripts on this board, but I'm looking for pretty basic stuff.

You sure there was no demo game in the earlier AGS?  I swear I remember it from before the update... Ah well.

The online manual is mostly current, there's also the tutorial in the help file, did you take a look at that?
