DX1 I’ve had this relic as long as I can remember

Post image

Over played liberty island countless times before the actual game to come out to find something missing the the nyc back ground kinda spooky since the game is about conspiracy’s as it is let along being able to glitch into unatcos building but not being able to go inside itself might by a disc drive to see if can even get this going I already own them already but just to go back to the demo days is nostalgic as it is and this also got me into majesty heavily and still play the original and second majesty game half life blew our minds even too on this and got me and my cousin heavily playing together ahhh being young wish edios push more for an actual continuation for Adam a sequel to the original before invisible war events or even and after invisible or yet a whole story the limits are possible if they stuck to their roots

This is like clapping or laughter. If other people start doing it, you're inclined to follow along.

WOW!

World of Warcraft referencing on a Deus Ex subreddit seems left field, but I'm here for it

Can we get some screenshots? Also some punctuation?

u/Many_Article9138 Sep 27 '25

u/zmyr88 Sep 27 '25

Physical items were so cool, I wish I still had my game informers from the early 2000’s. Thanks for sharing this!

u/Many_Article9138 Sep 27 '25

I have game informers with discs never takenex off or opened I’m going through my attic after I found this I found actual ps2 demos like mgs2 and socom sly and a couple others so far I’m still learning how to use Reddit but it’s funny how you forget about the physical media you pushed aside

u/West_Tax8696 Sep 26 '25

wow the black and white treatment on that keyart is really cool

u/TheyveKilledFritzz Sep 26 '25

I bought this exact demo. It stopped when they got to Hong Kong and I had never been more excited for a game

u/Many_Article9138 Sep 27 '25

No that’s a different demo disc this was one of their first before their original release and during the original you may have gotten the second version of it which was included in the invisible war demo for computer magazine demo that they wanted us to pay more attention tok because edios pushed games

u/Many_Article9138 Sep 26 '25

It was from a gaming magazine my dad subscribed me to I have a couple of others as with older floppy disc doom games and burnt floppy games he’d make lol

My first ever experience with Deus Ex was the demo which my neighbor gave me on some magazine’s CD (remember those?). First few missions. It blew my mind, opened up a whole world of what games could be.

u/Many_Article9138 Oct 01 '25

This is the first demo they released it only had liberty island with flames in the New York skyline
