<p>[QUOTE="Arnox, post: 14870, member: 1"]</p><p>I haven't looked at my Steam wishlist for a while, so let's explore this old thing together, shall we? Games are sorted by the date I added them to the list from oldest to newest. (By the way, a lot of these are on, or are now on GOG. I'd definitely advise picking these games up there instead of Steam if possible, but you do you. The ones that are on GOG will have an asterisk at the end of their name.)</p><p></p><p><strong>1.

After over a decade, the same developers came out and made this gem. Feels like a total evolution of that old fun flash game in every way.</p><p></p><p><strong>6.
