#17089: KINGDOM: The demo version is not supported
-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter:  antoniou79                |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect                    |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal                    |  Component:  Engine: Kingdom
 Version:                            |   Keywords:
    Game:  Kingdom: The Far Reaches  |
-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 This was tested with ScummVM 2026.3.0 and a local build of recent master
 HEAD on Windows 10 x64 with the demo of the game (Kingdom: The Far Reaches
 (DOS Demo)) available from the ScummVM website.

 The demo version is detected, but when trying to launch it, it fails with
 a message:
 {{{
 WARNING: Failed to open KINGART.ART!
 }}}
 and then exits with a segmentation fault.

 In engines/kingdom/detection.cpp, the demo entry is not marked as UNSTABLE
 or UNSUPPORTED (I think ADGF_UNSTABLE would be the appropriate one).

 Also, there's no code, that I could find, that handles the demo version.
 There is code that handles the "demo' mode of the full game, but that is
 different and not triggered for this case as is.
