I remember wanting to buy Atomic Robokid after playing the demo on a YS tape... I was hooked on it from playing it on an Arcade machine. Even though the demo was slow, I was hoping the full release was faster - it just never came along! :(
Then again, I wanted to buy it before I saw the demo... You're right - I don't think I ever bought a game due to it's demo.
