I wish I’d found this podcast sooner! I grew up playing games (mostly shareware), modding games (Doom), and trying to create games (QBasic) in DOS. Unsurprisingly, I enjoy vintage computing and gaming.

Thanks to everyone for building this community!

Welcome!

It’s great fun and provides some amazing opportunities to find some unique games that we’ve all missed over the years.

What shareware games did you play?

I played pretty much every shareware game I could get my hands on. Many were downloaded from a BBS.

Highlights (note: I forget which were shareware and which were not): Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Moraff’s World, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Scorched Earth, One Must Fall: 2097, SimCity 2000, Syndicate, Epic Pinball, WarCraft I/II, Incredible Machine, Blake Stone, and… gorillas.bas!

I can tell you for certain that Wolf3D, Doom, Quake, both Warcrafts, Blake Stone, Raptor and The Incredible Machine had shareware/demo versions. Not sure about the others. 🙂
