mondo84, Austrobogulator and myself have solved it, but there are still 10 games there. I haven't taken any, because I would have to take all the games but one. Good luck and keep thinking :)
what is on the list of final 10 games?

or is this a steam code and ive been trying to gog it?! >_<
Fun post Ipopman - kudos for the ingenuity.

Just spent half an hour or so on it and I got all but the 3rd and 5th lines. Those male absolutely no sense to me. Googled the last one and I think it gave me the right answer.

Looking forward to seeing the right answers.
I just got it and redeemed one game (there was only one I hadn't got already). Many thanks.

EDIT: Just for reference, I claimed Sacrifice. I'm sure Licurg will be happy. :)

Currently available games:
Fallout
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
VR Soccer `96
Kingdom: The Far Reaches
Evolva
Screamer
Shattered Steel
Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business
M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2
Conquest of the New World

Out of those, the ones I'm interested in I already have, so I'll let others have a go for it. Personally I'd rather have To The Moon from the current Pick 5, Pay $10, but same problem. The games I'm interested in that pack I already have from elsewhere.

Madmate, you are really close. But you trusted wolfram too much. And you were looking at the eye wrong.

EDIT: Psst, korell, what did you get?

Thank you for hint, but I don't have a clue about that part of puzzle beside wolfram. Nevertheless, I already have all of those games and most of Interplay bundle and that might be reason it won't work for me.
I redeemed Giants: Citizen Kabuto. The rest are still available. Thank you lpopman!

I still don't know the eye one, but I brute forced it.

I brute-forced it too, but once I got the right letter, I figured out the riddle. lpopman is a cheeky bastard indeed. :p

Yes, I am :D
Solved just because of curiosity. There's still Fallout left.

You made the bitshift operation correctly, but there was one more step.

Same here, as I wasn't interested in any of the games ^^

Fallout still available.
Can we finally get a solution?

Oh fine. DH23-9NPN-2DK6-JKX2

The one remaining game is Fallout. I think the only reason it's left there is because everyone already have it, so hopefully I didn't a horrible wrong to lpopman

I'll explain the trick questions:
"My second comes from somewhere immediately below the eye"
Most people will think that this is a trick question and assume that the eye actually meant the letter I. I did too. But after brute-forcing the answer, I figured out that the trick is that the riddle actually meant your eye. Assuming that you are not a cyclops, below your eye you will find your cheek. So you have to pick a letter from the letters forming C H E E K and put it inside the code until you find the correct letter, which turns out to be H. For the cyclopes out there who tried N O S E, sorry, blame lpopman.

"Next comes from the result of (11<<1)++"
The Wolfram clue is the first step. It tells you that that particular code is a programming code for (bitshift the number 11 leftward by one)++. The problem is that Wolfram does not understand what ++ means and thus ignores it. Try putting (11<<1) on Wolfram and compare it with (11<<1)++. You will find that Wolfram erroneously give the same answer for both. The bitshifting left by 1 is basically "multiply the number by 2". So you get 22, and that's what Wolfram tells you. However, the ++ part adds 1 to that, so the answer is actually 23. I figured this out by googling what bitshift meant, then doing the math manually myself, and discovering that well, Wolfram was incomplete.

The compliment of PNP junction is NPN. Wikipedia will tell you that IF you read the whole article instead of just the PNP section.

T G M ... refers to Tera, Giga, Mega, .... the answer is K for Kilo.

I think y'all figured out the rest.

Nope.
