My boy Jazz Jackrabbit could always use some love. He's from a shareware 2D platformer back in the 90s with one of the most badass soundtracks ever to touch a videogame, I think he'd look great in your style!

When i was still in school I thought of myself as playing the shareware version of life. I wasn't sure if i'd keep playing when i had to pay, but I have for 6 years. But the cost is low so far, if there's a price hike then i might reconsider, don't wanna play if it's not worth it

Another game in the sorta-educational genre, Alive Software's Animal Quest.
Pick one of several animals, and avoid predators and devour prey. This is the shareware version, so you only get the Forest Animals pack, however.

I don't think many people know about this one. It was just a shareware release to Aminet and his website. But it's mad fun if you can get four players together. We used to do a lot of this one, MineRunner (his LodeRunner clone), Gauntlet 2, and Dynablaster or Master Blaster 2. 😎

Overheat / Doom II / Limit-Removing / 2012 / MAP01 / by "Memfis"

A short, toxic base level that tries to keep a constant pressure on the player using mainly shareware monsters, the sole exception being a late appearance from the wascally wevenant.

Is Quake truly deserving of its "everything's brown" reputation, or is that merely the work of hack frauds who clearly didn't make it past the shareware episode? I'll let you decide.

But the answer is hack fraudery.
