Portal!

Calling this game “older” is hurting my soul, though.

The Orange Box was a lot of people’s first Steam purchase. It’s hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.

Mine was Counter Strike, bundled with CS: Condition Zero.

My account is old enough to buy cigarettes

My back hurts

I had to sign up for this new fangled “Steam” back when I had to use 5 CDs to install Half-Life 2. Lost that account years ago though, unfortunately.

It is in fusion tho, it just LITERALLY didnt work correctly, i got it working maybe once or twice and than never again

idk how i managed to get up to the final boss in dread, but i really didnt like it, the big selling points of the robots where so annoying, like a pale imitation of the samus x of…fusion

Late 00s first person, non-shooter game involving a female protagonist expertly traversing platforms in a techno-dystopia covered in white, with a theme song “Still Alive”.

Portal and Mirror’s Edge have a lot more in common than I realise
