There is not much to specify for the question, its really simple: Which title is the first game you have purchased on Steam? Was it a good decision? How much did you pay? When was it and what device? You don’t have to answer all questions, this is just a fun discussion to have.
You can check your history: https://store.steampowered.com/account/history/ Edit: Some in the comments pointed out that the purchase history doesn’t go back all to the beginnings of Steam. So if you purchased something earlier, it won’t be listed on your account.
(I reply with my game too.)
Ragdoll Kung-Fu
It was pretty fun back in the day. It was one of the first games even sold on the platform, too.
Now, I did own Half-Life and the stand alone Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike releases that switched over to being on Steam and needing Steam to play online after the WON servers were shut down. But I bought those in a store, before Steam was even announced.
it was the first 3rd party title sold on steam
That’s basically the reason I bought it. The idea of a random indie game being so easily obtained was novel af in 2003.
It was 2005, but yes
little fun story is, that I was part of a small mod team back then. And by pure chance we were in contact with someone at valve, who told us about the plans of opening up steam to 3rd party games and mods. And our mod was considered to be put as one of the first games to be put into the store. at least for a short time (alas, didn’t work out for… internal reasons. I think mainly because it was a mod and not a full game)
Oh geeeez I forgot about this game and now I need to invite my (not-so) little cousins over for pizza and kung fu like old times
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1002/Rag_Doll_Kung_Fu/ is not available in my region (Germany). I wonder what happened.
Violence, maybe? I don’t remember if it had blood effects or not. I don’t think it did. But it was released back in the day when Germany was almost as bad as Australia in terms of censorship/banning games so maybe it just never was available there. 🤷♂️
