Winged Warrior

A really basic and 100% linear RPG, beat first boss in shareware version, then bought full version. Played through remainder of game's content in about ~15 minutes. One of my earliest cases of buyer's remorse.

Looks like they're still trying to sell this game:

Weird this is, the website says the full game is about 3 hours long. Most of the game is in the shareware episode?

"This wilderness version of hide-and-seek
remains the most exquisite shareware
strategy game for the PC. What makes it so
great? Maybe it's the artful melding of
high detail and ease of use... Or Maybe
it's the lovely artwork. This game is so
intriguing that you won't want to stop
playing." ELECTRONIC ENTERTAINMENT

That, fucking, puzzle.

It took me DAYS to solve it, although I was only 7 at the time. I could probably do it faster, but oh boy. That one. I don't think anything else in the entire series was nearly as hard.
