DOS platformers didn’t have a reputation for being fun, but this one is a blast.

Shareware was big back then. Chances are good that your copy was actually legal.

I had a bunch of those myself back then, dozens of great shareware games on each disc. Sure beat trying to download something on slow slow dialup.

And those games usually got really really hard beyond the first episode, so we (at least me) wouldn’t have gotten far in the full games anyways.

Dune 2 at least wasn’t shareware.

Maybe had a demo though. There were a few discs that had shareware and playable demos.

Doesn’t sound like what they had, though. Especially if it had episodes 2 and 3, etc.
