Xargon semi-proves that both Apogee and Epic Megagames had similar approaches to shareware: Make the parts of the game you have to pay for just more of the same... maybe with a few colour changes. I think Epic may've been a lot more hostile towards Apogee than vice versa though. Not just the moment that happened while I was playing through this game for the show, but another example would be the Apology Mode in Jazz Jackrabbit. Meanwhile, Id chilled in the background, watching the two shareware companies duke it out, then made Quake.
