the demo that was included in some copies of tomb raider 1 and 2. even though it only has the Area 51 level does anybody know the differences between the demo and the final version because i know some but not all of them. to start: in the demo you start in a jail cell instead of a loading dock weapons: this demo has some a the Tomb Raider 2 weapons "pistols" "shotgun" and the rocket launcher is compeletly different. items: Tomb Raider 2 medipacks, and flares. other: deadly red lasers are missing, hidden areas are missing, prisoners do not help laura out. etc does know any more differentces. feel free to post.
I think that might be it. I played through the demo a ton, there are a lot of interesting differences.
more differentices there's no save crystals, Tomb Raider 2 style menus, the alien autopsy room is opened without any special access, the alien saucer is not accessable and no special sonud effects.

more differentces the ending is completly different instead of laura collecting a crystal to end she jump's over a barbed wire fence and just goes to a black screen that says loading
I've read somewhere that it's possible to access the rest of the level in this demo (maybe other Tomb Raiders, too). This may only be for the PC version of the demo, but there may be a Action Replay equivalent. I'll see if I can dig it up...
