The major part of this demo is a movie of in-game action rendered with the Parsec game engine, from which people can get a first glimpse of Parsec's look and feel. We have composed this demo out of several actual network game sessions that we recorded using Parsec's in-game recording feature. It is 11:40 minutes long and features great background music.

There is also the "free flight mode" where people can select their ship and navigate outer-space, collecting power-ups and the like.
This is very similar to the actual game mode, although there are no opponents, since this demo does not contain any networking code. Still, pilots can steer their spacecraft and fly around, getting a feeling for the controls.

There are also two additional demos of recorded network game sessions that can be used for timing frame rates, for instance. A TIMEDEMO feature is available from Parsec's command console.
