The demo used to be available from my software website, but that's long since died a death.

I think if you keep an eye on the Acorn section of ebay, it'll appear soon enough and very cheaply too.
Cheers!

thnaks for the reply I'm looking for the demo don't really want to buy the full game, perhaps it could be put up on the downloads section of acorn arcade.
Thanks, cya.

Well, it's up to you, but it's going for about 49 pence on ebay at the moment. In total, it's not likely to cost more than a couple of quid.
Cheers!

Hi I dont have a real Acorn that can play Overload just the emulator, and I doubt that Overload would work on that. Its just that I always wanted to play the game then when the demo was avaible I couldnt get it to work on my A3020 then years later discoverd Red Squirrel and tried to hunt down the demo again. I could buy it on ebay I just thought someone might have the demo which I could try first. Well anyway thanks for all your help.

Cheers!

I have a copy of the demo working on Red Squirrel if you're interested? I can send it as a PC .zip, which you would just drop into your 'hostfs' folder.
