KROZ, which was the shareware version, probably the first shareware game in video games history. I got it around1991. It included three KROZ games. I still play them, since I bought the registered version back in 1996 or so, and now have Temple and Dungeons of KROZ as well. My original PC had around 35 mg total space, so programs had to make do with less than 1 mg, for the most part. It's amazing how KROZ managed the limited space and offered almost unlimited gameplay at the same time. Funny to remember those first PC's with dos commands and compare with today's with Windows and hundreds of GBytes.
