I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.

I think this question just fried my brain. I don’t even know where to start.

Most played shareware of all time though was probably Transport Tycoon.

    Was It shareware? Didn't know it!

    I'm still enjoying It with OpenTTD https://www.openttd.org/

    The original Transport Tycoon was distributed as shareware, would have been 95 or 96 when I was playing it off a shareware disc.

    Not sure if TTD got a shareware release too, but i got that one as a retail boxed version.

    But for 94 or 95 if you didn’t have a shareware version then your game was pretty much doomed.
