***CLOSED***
Winners to be announced soon!

Hey folks! So I'll be turning 37 a week from today, and coincidentally I have 37 game keys to give away. As my wife's birthday is the day before mine, I'll let her participate by picking our winners. I'll most likely announce the winners on my birthday, Friday March 28th. We may be out that weekend, so please allow me a couple days to wrap up the draw and send out the keys. :)

How to enter: Choose up to four (4) games from the list that you are interested in, and list them in the order of your preference. Winners will be chosen by my wife, or the random gods, or some absurd combination of my choosing.

Rules: 20 rep or higher, or an account created before December 2013. You may only enter for yourself.

Imaginary extra credit: Tell me about one of your earliest gaming memories that had an impact on you. As for myself, my first gaming memory was getting an Atari 2600 for my 4th birthday and spending the afternoon playing Donkey Kong and Pac-Man with my father.

Disclaimer: My organizational skills are horrific, so in the (hopefully highly unlikely) event that one of these keys doesn't work, please don't hate me and beat me about the face and neck. ;)

An early high-impact gaming memory: I was in seventh grade. Spent the week at my friend's house. His parents were divorcing. They gave us each $20 per day to keep us busy. A fortune! We did different extravagant things each day. Went to the theater to see Hellraiser and eat a huge tub of popcorn each. Bought $40 worth of fireworks and set them off in the field. Bought 5 lbs of Lemon Heads. And then one day...

...we spent $20 each at the local Putt-Putt. We got it all in quarters. And we played Gauntlet until our money ran out. Hours it must have been. Hack. Slash. Shoot. Cast. Loot. Repeat. Oh, my. Oh, my. I believe I rewired a critical path through my young brain that day.

Cheers!

Not in but wow what a great GA.
Happy Bday and a +1 for you. )

In for The Cat Lady (Steam)

one of my first memories of gaming...I think with blood, I remember getting from school (I was 8 years old)lock the door of my room, turn of the lights and play blood for a few hours and then being scared and paranoid for the rest of the day :P (yeah that game and silent hill gave me nightmares a lot of nightmares when i was a kid )

Thanks a lot +rep :)

Not in. I hope you and your wife have great Birthdays :)

A couple of things before I say I'm in. First of all me, my father and my brother drink a glass of whiskey every Friday, so I will drink to you and your wife's health. Then I want to wish you guys a happy bday and hope you guys celebrate 100 years more together ;) (also how cool it is that you and your wife's Bday are so close together :D)

As for my earliest memories from gaming, I think it would be Frogs and Flies on the atari 2600. But most my memorable time would be Kung Fu on NES which me and my niece played together (and she kicked ass in that game :p)

Also I'm in for the next titles:
The Cat Lady
The Swapper
Dracula 4: Shadow of the Dragon
Dust: An Elysian Tale

Happy upcoming birthday
+1
not in

Back to memory lane...once upon a time a small hippo wants to see what happens if you reach 1 million points (i think it was 1 mil) at space invaders on the Atari 2600. It played and played and than eureka...but no ending screen, congratulations or such..no only that the counter started with 1 again. a not so good result was that i overheated the
cartridge.

Happy Birthday to both of you :)

As for giveaway, count me in for Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny.

As for memories, don't know if it had impact on me but still remember how, after many tries, we got to the 1st big castle in Super Mario, beat the boss just to find out that princess is in another castle. > > But I guess we were not the only ones.
