You were given more than a couple of levels acually, more like about
1/4 of the full game.

Same deal with Quake and you got arguably the best 1/4 of the full
version, pretty generous really.

No, it wasn't when it was released and it still isn't.

It was Shareware. Which is different to Freeware. You were 'given' a
couple of levels and if you registered and paid you got the rest of the
game.

1/3 if you only count the original 3 episodes of Doom.

The Quake shareware disk gave you Episode I, the other three were
encrypted on the same disk. You pay and register it, you got a key that
unlocked the other three episodes.
I simply ordered the 'Full' disk the night it was released. Never
bothered with the Quake Shareware disk

But more like 1/4 if you count the extra monsters and WEAPONS that weren't
accessible in the first episode.
