It's a bit of a shame that the shareware model has died out so badly. As a child of the 90s, I had all kinds of shareware games and sampler discs that got passed around; there was some great stuff like Carmen Sandiego, the various X Trail games, Dr. Brain, Math/Word Rescue, Mixed Up Mother Goose, Treasure Mountain, etc. A nag screen showing the option to buy the additional episodes seems almost quaintly non-invasive today.
