Download the PC version and use WinZip to un-zip the file into the location of your choice. Extracting to c:\Program Files\ for example, will create a folder called PurPeLoid_demo_pc in that location, containing the game and all its necessary files. After the files have been extracted, close WinZip, then open the folder you extracted to. Double-click the PurpeloidDemo icon to start the game. If you experience trouble with either graphics or sound, be sure your video card and sound card are installed correctly, and have the latest stable drivers installed and configured. Use Windows Update to update your system and drivers.
Download the Mac version and use Stuffit Extractor to un-stuff the file. Open the PurPeLoid_Demo_mac folder that was created and double-click the PurpeloidDemo icon to start the game.
Requires MacOS 8.5 or later, as well as Apple's GameSprockets. If you do not have GameSprockets installed, you will have to register (free) with Apple's support network (if you have not already). Once you have logged in, you can download the GameSprockets installer here.
Download the PC version and use a decompression utility to un-zip the file into the location of your choice. Locate the linux directory within the PurPeLoid_demo_pc directory that was created, read the README contained within.
