The early and the mid 90s for pc games what they would do for example doom they would give away free on floppy disk a large chunk of the game often 1/3 or even 1/2.
And after you played through you could then send off and buy the rest. Now while it could be argued as a glorified demo the games were complete with no cut content and all game modes accessible.Just the additional levels that you had to pay for.
You got a real good look and play of the game. They did die out later on and when the digital age came now hardly hear anything about them.
Was only reminded of it recently with the release of killer instinct you had the option of a free version which only had one character but you had access to everything else.
Would love to see it make a return
