Let's go back in time to the days before digital distribution was common.

Share pics of 3rd party mod discs, mission packs, etc

1500 levels!?!?!?!
I'll never need to play another video game again!

>> No.4219697

There was a Official Playstation Magazine demo disc that gave you a free Half-life expansion. I sold it to some dude years ago for 15$.

>The only released addon was a port of Half-Life: Uplink released on a PlayStation Underground demo disc in the June 2002 issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine.[7] This can be played using an undocumented cheat code discovered by the project leader of Half-Life: Decay's PC port. When entered, it causes the game to prompt for an expansion disc.

In some cases, you could use GameShark codes to unlock full games on demo discs. There might be some missing assets like music or FMVs, but some of these demos did include a full levelset.

An interesting bit of trivia for anyone trying to hunt down cheap games that have become overpriced on the reseller market.

Damn thats cool.
Never heard of it back then though where it would have fucking mattered of course.

I remember tips and tricks or someone similar kept that fake ass meme gameshark code in their book for showing lara crofts tits.

My friend and I bought a gameshark or XPLODER specifially for that shit

so this is before devs started prohibiting sales of mods in their eula?

how does this help the dev exactly anyways beyond muh ip control, this sort of thing seems great to me - maybe some of them were licensed?

sorry i was consolefag at the time

Maybe?
>First was the fact that, in violation of id Software's EULA and Data Utility Licenses, user add-ons and editor utilities were being used to promote the sale of a commercial product. This immediately earned the ire of many authors, some of whose works explicitly denied the right to be distributed on CD but were included anyway. The discs include text files for levels that originally had them, and these can be viewed in the included frontend, but WizardWorks' copyright notices do not seem to exclude the WADs on the discs and thus seem to attempt to exert rights over others' properties.
