A demo (36.2 MB) for Future Boy! has been uploaded to the IF archive.

If you're wondering what Future Boy! is, you can make a quick visit here to
find out:

http://www.generalcoffee.com/futureboy

The demo is currently in:

http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/unprocessed

and should move with time to its new home, probably in:

http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/hugo

The demo contains support for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, BeOS, Palm, and
Pocket PC. For any other non-included platforms, Hugo v3.1 is required.

Since the archive isn't always the peppiest download source (at least until
the mirrors update), the demo can also be downloaded from

http://www.plover.net/~hugo/fbdemo/future_boy_demo.zip

or

http://download.generalcoffee.com/future_boy_demo.zip

....and although the connection is quite slow the waiting paid: I was
looking forward to the game from when I first saw the trailer. But now
I'm _really_ anticipating a great game. The demo (which sadly is too
short btw) reminds me of the old Legend Entertainment titles Spring
Break and Eric the Unready.

Due to some text-formatting issues seen by some Mac and Linux users, I've
made a minor update to the Future Boy! demo.

For users who have downloaded the full demo, there's no need to download the
whole giant zip file again--just grab the latest version of Hugo (v3.1.01)
for
your system from:

http://www.plover.net/~hugo/hugobeta/latest

and get the updated demo gamefile:

http://download.generalcoffee.com/future.hex

Simply copy "future.hex" over the existing file in the demo's "game" folder.
Both the updated gamefile and the latest version of Hugo are required.

For those who haven't yet downloaded the full (36 MB) demo, the updated
package can be downloaded from:

http://www.plover.net/~hugo/fbdemo/future_boy_demo.zip

or

http://download.generalcoffee.com/future_boy_demo.zip (possibly a little
faster)

The demo contains support for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, BeOS, Palm, and
Pocket PC. For any other non-included platforms, Hugo v3.1.01 is required.

The demo will eventually make it to the IF archive, as well, where it will
eventually reside in:
