What was your favorite shareware game?

I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.

  • So many great titles in the comments. I'll add a few of mine:

    Jill of the Jungle
    Zaxxon
    Heretic (Doom clone)
    Stellar 7 (can't recall if shareware or if I just shared it)

    • Heretic was more than a Doom clone, it was developed using a modified Doom engine with the participation of Doom developers. It was a clever game in its own right, adding a lot of fresh elements to the then-budding FPS genre.

    • I don't know if it was their SDK or what, but Epic's sound design in this era was so good. Jill of the Jungle still stands out to me for that.
