Is it good
They made a free weekend several years ago, and I found it extremely addictive, but in the end, kinda shallow. A couple of days, and I didn't want to touch it anymore, so I ended up not buying it.

Although after this they made several free addons and Disharmony. I don't think you can go wrong for this price.

Personally, I bought this: https://steamdb.info/sub/149432/
The price was just too good.

1999 RTS Mob Rule listed as free game:



edit: ah, it's giveawary for a limited time.



Thanks for the heads up.

It's still free as of April 16th.

This game and its tone deaf box art is one of my favorites. Just dorky fun, though it gets insanely hard as you progress.

It's not a giveaway as far as I can tell, just free for a limited time. I can install it but otherwise can't add it to the library.

They say they intended own-it-forever giveaway, but unintentionally set it as a free-to-play game instead of free (no cost) game: http://steamcommunity.com/app/600420/discussions/0/133261124641231610/#c133261370008109885

Hi System 3 fans.

The game is supposed to be a free game. We are checking with tech this week and will make the changes if required. We are very sorry if this has caused some confusion. We will not be removing it aa a free game game once you downloaded was always the intention. If its set up as a free to play then this is an error we will adjust.

Thank you

Not only that, it's another wave of Activision re-releases on Steam:

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption http://store.steampowered.com/app/559680/
Zork Anthology http://store.steampowered.com/app/570580/
Return to Zork http://store.steampowered.com/app/585240/
Spycraft: The Great Game http://store.steampowered.com/app/569220/
Call to Power II http://store.steampowered.com/app/572050/
Police Quest - SWAT 2 http://store.steampowered.com/app/607120/
SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition http://store.steampowered.com/app/560370/

They're not included Classic Sierra Bundle yet.

Wonder if this is followed by another Humble Bundle.

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy
Subnautica is 50% off at $9.99 until Friday. For an Early Access title that's due for release within 6 months, I'd say this is a good deal.

I bought the Zork bundle thing, telling myself that I was going to use it to help my kids learn vocabulary. Bet they never play it, but when they do they will understand when I tell them, "Hey! Turn on the light or you might be eaten by a grue."

It will never happen. I might not ever play it, but if I do, my C64 memories will come back. I'll probably start humming whatever record/cassette tape I was listening to at the time.

The next day I would ask my kids, "Want to see a video of a song called "Thriller"? Nightmares for two weeks. Even less time to play games.
