DreamedArtist: Oh well aware of this... Very well aware cause my GOG copy is stuck in demo mode for almost 1 year and they said they are FINALLY getting a drm free build without the authentication thing in it.
What OS are you using? The latest Windows/Mac versions of the game no longer call home if the offline mode shortcut is run.

Pretty sure id did this back in the day. I remember having CDs with full versions locked behind a product key.

There's a downloadable demo for Master of Orion 2. Thing is, you can install the latest patch over it and it becomes the full game.

An Xbox Live game called Shadow Complex originally had a glitch that allowed you to bypass the "end of demo" screen, allowing you to play the entire game. (Of course, I am pretty sure the patched it after the exploit was discovered.)

Related, I have encountered a few games where the copy protection questions can be bypassed without needing any hacks. In Ultima VI, you can use the cheat menu to bypass it by changing certain NPC flags, and Ultima VII has a secret room in the starting town (before the first copy protection questions) that allows you to skip to anywhere in the game, including the final battle.

In Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen, you can use the Mirror to escape the first town and again to get the item that normally requires getting past the other copy protection. In Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen, it's even easier: the check only comes when you leave Castleview by the main exit: you can bypass it by leaving through the sewers or (if using characters from Clouds of Xeen) using Town Portal.

It would be funny when a demo has such "exploits" to get out of the demo boundaries and lets you think you play the full game. Then you face another story or later in the game you get a message like: Thank you again for playing the demo. Yes, we knew you can go that far and we hope you had fun. But your journey ends here now. Really. Sorry that we have to be so mean."

It would be even funnier if such demo has an unintended glitch that lets you bypass the second "end of demo" point.

jamotide: Master of Orion 2, if you patch the demo with the 1.31 patch, for some reason it turns into the full game. No idea why they did that.
Probably oversight. Depending on how a demo is set up or how large a patch is these things can easily happen.

There is a modern Arkanoid game, from 7 or so years back, I think that was like that, but I forgot it's name. It was talked about in the forum not too long ago. Really awesome game.

Hey, I started gaming when I was 5. So for all you know I could be 19!
... I'm not though :( Actually I'm glad, at that age I was still in my, what I like to call, "stupid years"
