Doom, Decent, Hexen, Quake, and KidPix. Everything else was purchased full price (Marathon, Photoshop, MS Flight Simulator, Corel Draw, Word Perfect, Compuserve). There was other software but that was mainly it in the late 80s/early 90s. Mac kid until 91 or so. Somewhere around 92 is when we got our first windows machine and I discovered Id Software. By mid-90s we had IRC and the wonderful Wild West that DCC brought. By late 90s we had P2P services like Napster and LimeWire.
