An age before demo discs. Those changed the game in a lot of ways because now you could actually try out the game for yourself without having to rely on a shady game magazine with dubious authors and grainy photos.
I really miss demos. I got to play so many different snippets of games thanks to those and the magazines they came with.
One neat thing a game that recently paid homage to shareware with was the source port of Diablo - DevilutionX, it lets you play the shareware copy complete with multiplayer and I thought that was a really cool touch.
Amen to that. I remember you could buy magazines with demo CDs on them. Made it feel like you got really something out of buying them gaming mags. That was super rad
