We agree but we don't have a clear definition on what makes an episode a separate title or not. If it's being sold separately at the time, both Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D qualify--not sure about Doom right off the bat. But we could decide another criterion.

And there can be many nuances. For example if we decide that some episodes are technically separate titles, is it really worth it having a separate review for each one? If we did they wouldn't be equal reviews, in any game reviewing website expansions will have "update" reviews compared to the original vanilla game.

The fact is that we have been equaling shareware and demos, and deciding what's shareware depending on what the publisher called it or promoted it as (back at the time shareware was supposed to have positive connotations), instead of depending on the actual terms.

I myself think that these cases are exactly identical to what the modern gaming industry calls expansions, in the particular case that the game itself without expansions is freeware, but they charge for the expansions.

Some day, soon, games with "expansions" (promoted as such) will become abandoned. If we decided right now how we're going to include them in Abandonia, we will resolve this old shareware issue at the same time.
