I've got Zork Nemesis Limited Edition Interactive Preview CD on Internet Archive now. It's indeed DOS/Windows-only, which means I'm still on the hunt for a copy of the Macintosh demo. https://archive.org/details/ZNPREVUE

That's so much more civilized than the html scraper I was cobbling together. Thank you!

But I did coerce it into booting! I’m a bit 😬 about what I’ll find when it’s opened up. [2/2]

There was definitely one for DOS/Windows. Here's something on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/205505447097 and this disc on Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/Zork_Nemesis_demo is an "Interactive Preview". But did these have a Macintosh sibling?

My current leading theory is that there was a "Zork Nemesis Demo CD", maybe bundled with other games, which included the "ZNemDemo" directory that the installer needs. Has anyone ever seen such a thing?

Okay, this just reminded me that I have a physical copy of one of these CDs. Let me try physical CD / physical machine.

I wonder if *ZNemDemo* had been an invisible folder that MacAddict was supposed to include on the CD somewhere, but missed because of the invisibility flag. [2/2]

🙄 Never mind.

Maybe that's a pointer to the rest of the installer files or something? ... [2/2]

The installer on this CD https://archive.org/details/mac-addict-s-utilities is 288K, which usually means there are invisible files hidden somewhere on the CD. Looking around with Greg's Browser, nothing stands out except for that "find me" text file at the root. [1/2]
