The trouble is that most companies today, in the mainstream, don't offer demos of games. THey offer trailors. I love our companies, because they do offer demos, but for some people, buying the full version should unlock loads of worlds, new equipment, etc. like in Shades of Doom.
I think that the comment stems from games like Ten Pin Alley and to an extent, Entombed, that do not differ in gameplay from demo to full version, only in content. I value this difference enough to buy Entombed, and I've considered buying Ten Pin Alley off and on, although (no criticism intended) I enjoy Wii Sports a little more, and I already have it. I've often thought that, should I begin to market games once I'm proficient enough to make them interesting, I'll offer either a trailor, a very limited demo, or a timed demo. The first is self-explanatory, the second is a demo like Shades of Doom, where you run into one additional weapon and two monsters, and the third option is like Galaxy Rangers etc. Ten Pin Alley does rather offer a lot of itself up, but this in no way makes purchasing the full game unreasonable.
