Shareware was rarely full games, at least in my experience. I remember actually going out in stores to buy shareware when I was a kid. Basically you were paying for a demo (and the price was actually really low), and it gave you a phone number you could call to buy the full version. Though I haven't really paid attention to the shareware market since I was, like, 6 years old, so maybe it changed along the way. |
