Nowadays we get DLC and expansion packs like there's no tomorrow and we think of the good ol' days. However, technically we would get expansion packs and DLC in the old days as well, except that they were more or less sold like pseudo-sequels or flat out new games.
So. What was the first time you bought a 'dlc' / 'expansion pack' masquerading as a 'brand new game' and got the impression it really wasn't a new game but a rush job sold as a brand new product? Note that the content doesn't have to be bad, but it had to give you the impression you weren't playing a new game, but the same game with minimal additions or changes. Also, it has to be in an age where actual DLC wasn't a thing yet. Which means it has to be before the Oblivion Horse Armor. Also, it has to be something you bought, played, or simply saw at a friend's house. Not something you recently googled.
Here are the first games I can think of when I was a kid, or in my pre-teen years.
