In a town near where I live, there's a coffee shop where they give you the first chapter of a book, and if you like it you can buy it from them.
Why not convert this in to computer games? In a cyber cafe where you can surf the net, they could put certain demos on the computer (Changed every month
for new games), and the person can play them, buying them if they like them.

this is the kind of no-brainer idea that works. |
|
| |
Plus it's even easy for anyone with $200 to try: |
|
| |
1) find cyber-cafe that doesn't sell games
2) buy a few games with online demos
3) talk the owner into a deal like: give him/her a chunk of the profit for any games that are sold on their machines...if he/she allows you to install the demo and encourage people to play the games
4) install the demo. Put up some signs. |

OK, it's not _Easy_ exactly. but it's not hard. THe hardest part, in my experience, is finding an internet cafe owner who's game to try. :) |

Baked. I work in a computer shop in the local high street, and we let the guys play our games for free, and then make an expensive copy for them if they want to play it at home. |

Bun. If only I had some venture capital... |
