It was Shareware. Which is different to Freeware. You were 'given' a couple of levels and if you registered and paid you got the rest of the game.

You were given more than a couple of levels acually, more like about 1/4 of the full game. Same deal with Quake and you got arguably the best 1/4 of the full version, pretty generous really. flightlessvacuum@lycos.com <flightlessvacuum@lycos.com> typed as if devouring a plate of spoo: >> It was Shareware.

But more like 1/4 if you count the extra monsters and WEAPONS that weren't accessible in the first episode. OH Wow!!! So that explains why QuakeI was so short. ;p > It was Shareware.

You pay and register it, you got a key that unlocked the other three episodes. I simply ordered the 'Full' disk the night it was released. Never bothered with the Quake Shareware disk :) McG. |
