I recently noticed that I have created 99 giveaways on this site, so I wanted to do something to celebrate 100+. Since Steam has a number of Mega Drive games available, I decided I'd purchase several of those, some of the earliest titles that I played when I was getting into games (only preceded by a Sega SG-1000 which doesn't have games available on Steam). While I'm unable to get Cyborg Justice, other titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Shining Force, Columns and Streets of Rage are listed in the Steam store. Perfect for what I was planning.

Made me curious if other users here can find their first games on Steam.

And no giveaways in this topic. I don't get paid for a few more days, I'm just working out how much dosh I'd need for my plans.

Hard to find old Microprose games on Steam. Those 90s classics from them were awesome. Lots of variety.

I'm pretty sure Avoid the Noid and Kingdom of Kroz wouldn't pass Greenlight. :P

Well, because of Amazon sales, my plans have changed a bit, going to be giving away a bunch of 10 packs instead.

It does have one of them via the King's Quest collection. I remember fondly as a 6 year old playing King's Quest I and II on our Apple IIe and how often I would kill poor Graham. Never did beat the first three at all. Of course this was still in the 80s, so no internet to get hints from.

But some of my earliest gaming memories I don't even remember the names of the games any longer. I know one of them was a game where you had a lemonade stand simulation type game that I sucked at. I remember a puzzle game involving pipes and such also. Only other game I remember playing a lot of was a platformer/metroidvania type game called Black Magic. That game was hard, it was like trying to play Castlevania 2 with no saves or passwords, and no internet to get hints for it.

Oh, and I did actually play Pong as well.

Basically how I started out, almost exactly. :)

Nope, none of mine. My first games were NES and (barely) C64. I'm 28.

Pitfall on PC!!! I think the longest I went was 6-7hours without getting off...and that one that you were either a bandit or a cop and you went up escalators trying to catch/get away of the other. It had simple colors, if anyone knows the name of it.
