No, you don't.

This demo is known as the "Happy Guy" demo.  Nothing to write home about.

I too am looking for the Walker II demo.  I have the "Walker II Trailer"
which looks like a "preview" to the real thing, but it has a LOT of
glitches in it.  I have the Walker I demo.  Nice but it takes *FOREVER*
to load off
floppy (maybe I'll put it on HD sometime).  For those who say they have the
Walker II demo, check to see if it is the "Trailer" or the real thing.
The trailer has a message saying "This is a trailer to the Walker II
demo" or something similar.  Is this the only version that exists or is
there a "full blown" demo?  If there is... I WANT IT!!
