Although this demo will give a good idea of what Steel Beasts is like, 
it does not contain all the features of the full version. In particular,
the full version has these additional features:
- Multiplayer support, including TCP/IP over the Internet.
- Many more vehicles, including a playable Leopard 2A4 with tutorials.
- More missions.
- Instant Action and Tank Range modes of play.
In addition, you can play any player-created missions. Although you
can create and play small missions with the demo, it is restricted 
to missions with only four vehicles in total, and only certain vehicles
are allowed.
