There is a demonstration of Crystal Quest in the public domain.  The
demo is 110K, and the sounds are 200K.  If you lose the sounds file,
the demo still runs with simplified sounds (but the digitized male &
female sounds (grunts, "hello", "ahhhhh!")  are hilarious, so try to
get them).

The demo lets you play for approximately 1:30 of game time, then stops
you with an advertisement for the real game.  The demo will also stop
you if you progress past level five.  My mom is totally hooked on the
demo version and it looks like we'll probably have to get the real
thing to satisfy her.

The demo normally run under singlefinder 6.0, not multifinder,
HOWEVER, the other day I started the game from multifinder by
accident, and it RAN!  I don't know what I did to cause this.  In any
case, if you *do* get it to run under multifinder, it will not refresh
the screen when it exits.
