The artwork of by Ken Rieger, used in the mail-order NA release and later in the shareware version. I like how BJ looks like a complete madman and I guess that translates well into the game. Upscaled, cleaned, logos/text removed and retouched.

Braid is historically important. It was one of the first indie titles to make it big via digital distribution. But for the love of all that is good, please don't forget about Shareware and Doujin games paving the way long before online distribution! https://t.co/FzSN0WuZSA

"Puyo 2" is... Puyo Puyo Tsu. Just straight up. Not some weird clone, no, actual Puyo Puyo Tsu. Imagine being a Dutch kid in 1998 who found out about Puyo Puyo through this shareware CD you bought from Bart Smit to play on your family's PC

Like yesterday, reminiscing on platforming days gone by.

The joy of tucking in to a Dragon Coin.
The heat of the lava while trying to hold on to too many things.
The confusion at whoever designed the power ups for the Christmas shareware version. https://t.co/wlrJvxYUSP

R.A.V.E. / Doom II / 2003 / by Andy Leaver

This short techbase is densely staffed with monsters and offers a break from Leaver's previous, shareware-centric Doom levels. There's a hot start, some awkwardly-entrenched placement, and a combat shotgun slog.

Z.A.R. and ZPC (with artwork by Aidan Hughes, the KMFDM illustrator) were probably the most obscure ones I have played. Both from a shareware disc. Possibly Quiver, but I'm not sure - I've been pretty smol then :D
