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

Oh shoot, thanks for reminding me of that old classic! That reminds me of Jill of the Jungle as well!

If my memory is right, after seeing how good sonic was on the megadrive,I was surprised with Jazz on my PC. It was so good and showed me that I didn't need a console.

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?
