Comment on [Discussion] What was first Steam game you ever purchased?

Puzzle quest.
My friend bought me the orange box, ugh I have to install this new “game manager” to play these things, but they look fun…
At the same time “how do I figure out which of these files to torrent when the game is only 50mb? So many viruses are 50mb”. Sure enough I download a virus, wipe my computer and create the " 1 dollar per ten megabytes" rule, so long as I’m getting at least 10mB of information per dollar I’d rather pay for it and not risk getting another virus.
Sure enough, puzzle quest just barely fit into that rule, I bought it and have since added a thousand other games (and just recently bought the re-release of puzzle quest!)

Dude getting Orange Box is like the lottery back then. :D Which puzzle quest do you refer to? Searching Steam gets me so many different games, and only one of them is puzzle quest 3, which is Free to Play.

Puzzle quest: challenge of the warlords was the original, it was such a unique and polished take on the match 3/bejeweled gameplay.
They just remastered it with puzzle quest immortal edition, which I’ve taken to playing over the original, it’s perfect 1 hand gaming, though I understand that has a different connotation these days, I’m still using the term to mean I have an animal or a small human taking residence on some portion of my body

Ah now I remember. I knew the name, now that I see it, that is the Intriguing match game with RPG elements. Always wondered how it works. The trailers at least aren’t doing a great job.
BTW having an animal in my hand (it was a duckling back then) was also a reason I started playing a different game: Underlords from Valve. In fact I just played it a few days ago for remembering old days, as the game died 6 years ago. Whenever I mention that I needed one hand free while gaming, I got weird looks.
