Desperados, without a doubt. Never got really good at it either, but now I'm back with Shadow Tactics.
the deus ex invisible wars demo on the og xbox, because it was the first game i played where you could throw ragdolled corpses around and i loved reading the dataslates
When I was really young I'd play the old playstation 1 jampacks all the time but that's so far back I can't remember exact specifics. A little after that Playstation magazine had a demo of Peter Jackson's King Kong that was pretty baller I guess, but I'm not sure if I played it a lot as much as it was really memorable at the time.
In slightly more recent memory probably like 10 years ago I played the half-Life 2 and portal demos over and over after finding out about steam, portal in particular was pretty nuts to me, I think. I like Half-Life and all, but something about Portal is just special.
Crysis 1 demo. Especially since it came with the CryEngine editor and an extra MP level. Had lots of fun creating my own levels and blasting KPA with nukes.
Battlefield 2 demo, which I tested out on my first GPU (6600 GT) and at the time had servers with 64 players in it.
Left 4 Dead 1 demo, before the game was fully released. It let you play the first two levels of the first campaign and needless to say I played the heck out of those two levels.

I did this on the xbox360 for like three months because you could local co-op it, when I eventually got it on PC the first thing I did was play infected VS.
The first FEAR game
Just Cause 2 and Saints Row 1, played the shit out of the demos because I was too broke to own the games.
i remember being a wee lad obsessed with portal, i'd watch youtube videos about portal and play the demo over and over again
I did buy a copy of orange box, but the dvd drive was busted and didn't read disks, I was devastated.
Only after a month I got the bright idea to just input the CD key into steam and download it from there :v:
i remember playing theme hospital one a lot on ps1
plus l4d2s demo
One of my fondest PS2 memories was this Jampack disc I played a lot.

Also my first exposure to Half-Life that scared my 6-year-old self when I triggered the resonance cascade :v:
Unreal Tournament 2004, especially the Onslaught mode.
Sniper Elite 2, I got so good at that level
Though the one in the final game had some minor differences.
Future Cop LAPD, what a fun game
Unreal, Flashpoint, Arma 1, Descent, Heretic, Hexen etc. etc.
War of the Monsters has to be number one, followed by Robot Alchemic Drive.
PS2 demo disks were such a cool way to open you up to new and exciting games. I wish there was such a curated system for games today. I guess if demos were still around there would be some form of this today.
Not a PC demo I know but whichever Official PlayStation Magazine disk that had the demo of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Ended up playing that more than whatever it was I had rented and then some afterwards.
I remember the Star Wars trilogy DVD boxset came with a demo for Battlefront 2 on it if you put it in a original XBOX that basically let you play a full match on Endor, got a lot of use out of that disk.
Half Life Day One and Uplink. Those were actually some of the first PC "games" I've ever played. Stumbled upon the demo files on the internet and played those two religiously for about a year until I nagged my dad enough that he got me the full game.
The half life 2 demo,I remember seeing segments of the game on Cheat! So I tried looking it up online. I was too young to PC game and no one in my family knew how either so I just downloaded it on my aunt's computer and played it to hell and back. I discovered console commands and ended up making gmod esque scenarios in the first chapter like zombie invasions and shoot outs. Then I discovered that if you no clip in certain directions you'll go to the areas Gordon goes to during the teleporter malfunction sequence like the desert Lamar gets lost in, needless to say I spent even more time making scenarios because of it.
I also did the same with Lost Coast but I don't think that's a demo
Postal 2, especially when I found out you could disable the timer with a console command
I had a tonne of those PS2 demo disks full of game demos and such,
3 games I can remember from some of them was Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon, War of the Monsters and Dynasty Warriors 3.
Bloody great games.
Destroy All Humans and Psi-Ops, the Mind gate conspiracy.
Give 12 year old me a sandbox and some things to mess with and I'm happy
[QUOTE=Puvleek;53104908]Unreal Tournament 2004, especially the Onslaught mode.[/QUOTE]
Same.
What a great demo of a great game.
MGS1's demo
Frequency from the PS2 Network Setup Disc

My vision would always warp for about 2 minutes after playing lmao
Half-Life: day one. That was the game that got me into games, played it many times through until I got the orange box.
Here’s an odd one but the 4x4 Evolution 1 demo. Since it’s an open map racer with no walls I just spent the whole time exploring the maps and having fun rather than winning races. I spent at least a hundred hours just roaming around.
crysis 1 had the best demo ever, period.
