what is the difference between shareware and free games

Free games are just that, completely free. Once you download you can enjoy it forever without having to pay anything. Shareware, though usually ‘free’ requires you to eventually pay to get full functionality (this is called registering). An unregistered shareware game might have missing levels, or may only let you get to a certain point before stopping the game and requiring you to pay in order to finish it.

    shareware is software that you can use for a certain amount of time and then you need to buy it in order to keep using it. free games are just like it’s name: free forever.
