I have been experiencing the same issue; I suspect its just overload as usual with Steam at times like this.

The site has been flukey since the sale started. Which is par for the course during sales.

Never even heard of Putt Putt.

My boys first computer games, along with Freddie the Fish and Pajama Sam.

Same with my daughter. I also have to add Fatty Bear and Reader Rabbit to the list. Gotta start them early.

^The NovaLogic Everything Pack is currently $13.99US so I grabbed it.

Just curious, any of those games work with controllers or too old school for that?  I know you can buy software that tries to make it work, but was just curious if any happened to have native support.  The game pack is impressive, but without using a controller, going back to keyboard likely will kill me:)

I'm a bit tempted by 'Darkest Dungeon'

'Clip those corners'

I've played Darkest Dungeon on and off for the past few weeks and have no regrets about getting owning it.  I don't usually tolerate side-scrollers, but what makes this game fun is the campy Lovecraftian tone.  The voice-acting is delightfully overblown, and the game has its tongue planted firmly in its cheek.  Or something like that.

Tank Warfare Tunisia is only 7.99, well worth it IMO.

They did an update this month that generated a ton of negative reviews.  What is up with that?

Added Cold Waters to my short list.  Here's hoping my old PC can handle it...

It isn't really all that resource intensive. You may have to run it a lower res, but it should run okay. I play on an 8-9 year old Macbook and it's fine.

I have to stay out of Cold Water. It makes me shrink-up.  :-[
