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."
lol, EV was special. It was also pretty easy to mod with plug-ins using macos resource fork hackery, even to a kid, and all of the original game data was replaceable just by creating something with the same ID in a plug-in. Cap'n Hector became an angry invincible shuttlecraft with a single laser cannon. now that I'm old enough to afford a license, the company is gone and there's no way, so I guess I'm stuck with him like this forever.
I have a link to how to take an old serial for the game and generate a new serial based on the algorithm. When I get back to my computer I'll send it along.
