I too remember shareware. Ahh im old
Old enough to remember the Ambrosia Software game, Escape Velocity? That game had a shareware setup involving a really powerful ship that would message you several times in a game and eventually get so annoying it was almost impossible to play. If you accidentally shot him, he's ruin you. Oh, gone are the days of true "try before you buy."
I remember this game being one of the reasons I love Macs so much as a younger kid. Zooming around and then this guy showing up “remember to buy the game” and then, eventually, it becoming a game of seeing if I could leave a system before getting wrecked by him.
Good times.
If you happen to miss those days, check out Endless Sky. It’s a free remake of the game for more modern machines. Still under active development.
Thanks for the nice anecdote and reccomendation Gonna see how it runs on my steam deck.
On Android Space RPG3 (free) and Space RPG4 ($3?) are really good spiritual successors as well.
Some of the original team are also working on a spiritual successor. Have been for a while. Don't remember what it's called though.
