Not a bad idea... except SimTex (and Microprose, their parent) is long long gone, along with the physical IP. And the magazines from back then are gone now too... no more CGW... no more Strategy Plus.

Man... if I could convince Atari to SELL it, I'd be more than willing to spend $$$ on it.

Suppose I could try seeing who WROTE the previews in the old CGW/Strategy Plus mags, and emailing them...

After a fairly exhaustive internet search (everything except torrents)...
Couldn't hurt to try the torrent sites, in that case; a torrent is arguably overkill for such a relatively small file, but it's still worth a try.

Not on any torrent site I could find.

Where did you hear about this "reviewers copy", BTW?

Its mentioned multiple times on usenet back in '95 - plus it showed up in the internet top 100 games around then as Metal Lords (demo).

Here's a few old references:

Approved. The game was never published to begin with.
(of course, in such a case finding a leaked copy poses a problem in and of itself )
