   The Redneck Rampage Cuss Pack™
   A few megabytes of replacement audio for Redneck Rampage that adds swearing to the game. It was available as a download for $1 on Interplay's website, or as an honest to god CD-ROM.

     @bhtooefr Addon/data discs weren't uncommon at all in PC gaming.

     @dosnostalgic …suddenly wondering what counts as the first paid DLC in a game, because of this.

     (I feel like there had to have been something else before this, maybe even on consoles? But that’s pretty early.)

     And here are the *entire* contents of the Cuss Pack (1m43s) in one video. You're welcome, Internet.

     @bhtooefr I can't think of anything at the moment, but there HAS TO be something way before 1997.

     @dosnostalgic For sure - and there were downloadable levels for plenty of games as well, but the combination of downloadable and paid add-ons is what I was specifically referring to.

     @bhtooefr Actually, here's one: Extreme Rise of the Triad! But I bet you there was stuff even before then.
