  Apogee Software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apogee's commercial success led to the wide spread adoption of the shareware model by other major publishers such as Capstone, Parallax Software, id Software, Activision and Epic Megagames, and also led to a growth of Software Creations BBS, which would become the largest BBS in North America.
Apogee started in 1987 with the release of Scott Miller's Kingdom of Kroz, which used crude extended ASCII characters as graphics.
Instead of publishing every game under Apogee as it had been in the past, the goal of this strategy was to create a different brand for each type of game genre, making each new game identifiable based on which brand it belonged to.

Apogee is a games distributor for PC games of many sorts.
Apogee uses this marketing scheme so that people can have a good idea about the game they are buying before they put their cash on the line.
Apogee's Vice President George Broussard wrote a game for Softdisk under contract called "Scubadventure," which was published as part of a defunct monthly game disk subscription from Softdisk and also sold as a stand alone item.

 DOS Games Online | Publisher: Apogee
Known in the shareware industry as the "Apogee model," our breakthrough method of releasing a portion of a full game (an "episode") as shareware (years before the Internet became popular) was risky and innovative, and done well before other PC game publishers released demos of their games -- now standard practice.
Among other innovations popularized by Apogee in our early years include cheat codes (standard practice for our games as far back as in 1987), level warps and the so-called "god" invincibility mode.
Apogee's games, and later 3D Realms' games, have always included skill levels and save/load game options, both very rare in PC games in the late 80's and early 90's.

 DOS Games Archive | The Commander Keen series
In September of 1990, a group of game developers from Softdisk, a computer software publisher in Shreveport, Louisiana, moonlighted by working on a project utilizing an engine that Softdisk didn't want used in their own games.
The game the group had developed was released as shareware in December, and in January the group left Softdisk based on the game's success to start their own company.
The game is functionally exactly the same as the standard EGA version of the game.

BBSes were a highly social phenomenon and were used for meeting people and having discussions in message boards as well as for publishing articles, downloading software, playing games and many more things using a single application.
The BBS was also a local phenomenon, as one had to dial into a BBS with a phone line and would have to pay long distance charges for a BBS out of the local area.
BBSs that charged money usually had something special to offer their users such as door games, a large user base, or pornography.
