My first modern computer (at the time) was a Windows 95 machine that I got in 97 or 98, when I was in college. |

I had TONS of shareware. My dad loved computer shows and at $2-$3 he'd always cave for games I wanted. I vividly remember Jill of the Jungle, Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, a bunch of Apogee games (like Word Rescue) and Heros: The Sanguine Seven, among many, many others. Didn't really know games could be NOT shareware until we got a CD-Rom drive in our second PC. |

Im still confused on the term. Sounds like you are saying you basically bought a demo of the game and when you were done, you could add to it? If thats the case, I played none. |

So it does sound like how I described. What a scam! Buy the first half of the game and then have to buy the second half after waiting for you to have it mailed to you. |
