Notes:

Demo games are set to a small size to fit doc pages. They can easily be enlarged via display settings.
Demo games all use the same theme. Colors and fonts can be changed via custom CSS.
Demo games don't include the core AdventureJS code. To run downloaded games locally, you'll need to also download copies of the core JS and CSS and set up this local folder structure.
