@liqmat, many thanks yet again! Your work on tracking down those rare files is very much appreciated!

I re-uploaded the file here: COE22PCD.ZIP

Here's another demo that seems elusively rare, because Wayback Machine failed to preserve it:

Christmas Carnage / Xmas Carnage (not to be confused with this game)
Type: playable demo
Platform: DOS
File name: cc-demo.exe
File size: unknown
Comments: this is yet another odd subversion/spoof of the Christmas theme, as a violent first-person shooter based on the same engine as The Hidden Below. You can read some more details at MobyGames. Searching with Hallfiry's catalogue gave no results.

This game is also covered at Super Adventures in Gaming. Presumably, the demo has the first level.

Found a few more potentially interesting games with missing downloads:

Pharao 1
Type: Freeware (?)
Version: Unknown
File name: pharao_1.zip
File size: 42 KB
Original location: http://www.scherfgen-software.net/index.php?action=software&title=pharao_1

NOTES: Looks like a game inspired by Pharaoh's Tomb. The author, David Scherfgen, has an active website but the game is not available from there. Perhaps it is possible to contact him and ask.

Seems to me this would be his "Pharao Adventure" game.

Yes, it is. I mentioned the current site in the post that you quoted. But that game looks completely different from Pharao 1, and also the archived website lists both Pharao 1 and Pharao Adventure as separate games (along with a few other not available from the current site).

This is a screenshot from Pharao 1 from the archived site:
