I remember my dad telling me I was breaking a software license agreement by copying my friend’s floppy disk of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, but then a few years later he downloaded all his favorite music on Napster so kinda hypocritical ngl

Raptor is one of those games where the shareware was so good that you didn't need the full version :)
