My suggestion is that, if you have very specific definitions for your categories, then you'll have to play and categorise the games yourself. Because while I can play the games and give my opinions on them, I can't never be as specific as you are.
The problem is that... I'm not really a good games player. There are a few Speccy games I can absolutely ace, but these are in the single digits. I fail at most!
It looks like I'd have to resort to an .rzx of any full game, and then POKEs of playable demos - which aren't always likely to be working with playable demos.

Yeah, I feel that such a situation makes it not a true playable demo, and deserves the 'special edition' tag, which first came about from items like Dan Dare II: SU Edition and Dizzy 3 And A Half.

PS. You should try out the Stormlord Demo too, because for me that's definitely completely different than the real game. But your miles might vary.
I'll tentatively reassign that to 'Special Edition, etc' status.
I'll still let this poll go ahead, but will do more thorough investigation towards the end of this series and then probably re-run it! Thanks!
