Games Sampler 2 for Windows 95

Overview

Games Sampler 2 for Windows 95 is a demo disc of various Windows platform games wrapped in an interactive menu. The disc starts with a video of an attack in space on an alien spacecraft.

After the video the player is dropped into the spaceship which they can freely explore. The ship's two wings are filled with pedestals that launch the individual demos, while the main hall has a pedestal that launches Internet Explorer and the Microsoft homepage. Two secret areas are inside the ship, one filled with Geiger's-Alien-style eggs that don't do anything, and another filled with headshots of the developers. The player can also freely throw nuclear waste symbol coins around, but they don't do anything. The intention of the disc was to show off the features of DirectX.

The disc includes demos of:

Captain Quazar

Close Combat

Death Drome

Decathalon

Diablo

Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages
