What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47 (lemmy.world)

If you're thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI

Second reply...

I distinctly remember in my city various computer stores had kiosks which were basically coin op PCs and for $1 you could transfer shareware onto a floppy disk. You were still responsible for paying for the full license if you liked it.

Does anybody else remember these?
