slickrcbd: I really hate this trend of calling demos anything but a demo. Labeling a "prologue" or "chapter 1" or "the beginning". Why can't they mark demos as demos?
I'd be happy with the term "shareware" too :)

Quake Episode 1 ticks all the boxes of the description of a prologue above...and was shareware.

Similarly Duke Nukem 3D.

If I remember correctly, both named games included all resource files, just part of the content was locked.
In the case of Quake it was a setup file, that would change the games .exe
That's not what "prologues" and so one are, these are separated programs. so they are closer to a demo than to a shareware product.
There even existed an id-Soft shareware CD which you could buy in stores. For the unlock codes you had to call id-Soft and pay.

That was done by several companies in the '90s and early 2000's. Spiderweb Software sold the Exile series that way, I think I still have the Mac CD in mom's basement. I know there were others, but ID and Spiderweb are the only names I can recall off-hand. The shareware cds were typically sold really cheap in stores, as in $1. I think I first saw a Gunship 2000 CD sold that way, but only had an Apple IIGS at the time with no CD-ROM.

I think this sorta counts, but outward definitive edition is free if you own outward and three brothers dlc. Think this might have been going on for some time

Edit: Ah yes, it was on the 18th of May. Back then there was a promo, now it's still ongoing, seems like its a permanent setup.
