I remember when virtually every single game allowed you to play a 'Demo' for free, so you could find out exactly what the gameplay is like in any game before playing it. They often came in my cereal boxes as a kid, or free to pick up at the checkout. I still have a cool CD from the 2000s which has like five big studio name Demos in one.

Now that's Pepperidge Farm Remembers. Or did I out myself as too old?

I still have the demo discs that used to come with PC Gaming Magazine. Haha. We're old. :)

Steam Next Fest kind of breaks this comment apart.

Demos still exist, sure. Just not anywhere to the scale and pervasiveness that they used to. Nor do they come in cereal boxes.
