Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Seeing all these older games on Steam makes me happy.

Now who do I have to pester to get this game released on Steam and/or GOG?

Stronghold - Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) - 1993

(I made copies of my old disks and still fire this game up in DosBox every now and again)
 
it didnt actually give me sid meier pirates btw, so i dunno whats up with that

edit: weird the store page calls it Sid Meier's Pirates! + Pirates! Gold (Classic) (as does groupees) but you only get Pirates Gold Classic, Sid Meier's Pirates! is a seperate app...so whut?

I noticed that too. Quite strange.

SSI games are in licensing hell.

no steam news thread yet?

talking about games we can't have, I would buy Warlord games (by Steve Fawkner) and Dune again. I think I still have them, but not sure I can run them at all anymore.

My favourite part about SteamWorld Dig is how the dev complained that PC gamers aren't real gamers who pay for quality only to put the game in a PWYW Humble Bundle tier less than five months later.

Maybe he wanted to make a statement with that :-D

Whenever I hear people talk about Cinemaware games, they all say how great the graphics were for their day. Nobody ever praises, or even MENTIONS, the gameplay. Were these games all sizzle and no steak? Can someone please elaborate on how well these games played?

Wings was/is awesome (but I have huge nostalgia for that game), but I think the recent remake would be the better choice if one wanted to play it. I can't really remember the rest of them except Defender of the Crown and that game is OKisch but properly nothing you would play today

"I figured I'd just cut to the chase and put the game in a bundle as soon as possible." ;)

to be fair, it was not a new game by that point in any way, most people already played it on 3DS, by the point it was released on steam.
or I'm remembering dates wrongly

It's a real shame too because there are just so many.

I know Interplay had them for a bit and the Infogrames/Atari and then Hasbro too. A complete nightmare what ended up where for such an awesome developer/publisher back in the days
 
Awesome game.

You can fix the SP cinematic sounds if you play on borderless window and disable vsync.
No that doesn't work at all, I was already playing with those settings when the patch broke the cinematics. The only thing I've read that might work is changing your sound to surround and disabling some channels.
