i wonder what the oldest release date on a steam game is. the commercial port of Rogue is on there and was released in 1985, that has to be close to the oldest
to clarify what i'm looking for, i want the oldest game *by its listed release date on Steam*. i know there are some pongs and zorks and such on there that are (in some form) strictly older than 1983, but the versions on steam are updates or collections or remakes with newer release dates; this also disqualifies stuff like atari 2600 games that were put up there as part of newer collections
@typhlosion there's probably some version of monopoly on there, which goes back to like the 1950s or something (under that name, and earlier under a different name)
-F
@Hearth that's for the board game. the monopoly video games on steam are all listed by the date the specific games were released
@typhlosion no graphics!!!! zero stars, why does this have the "roguelike" tag
@typhlosion Dragon's Lair is the oldest game release showing up on SteamDB. There are a few older releases, but of movies, not games. (TIL Steam used to sell movies.) Though it also says Rogue was released in 2020? 🌳
oldest release on steam update: i found dragon's lair on there, so the year to beat is now 1983 https://store.steampowered.com/app/227380/Dragons_Lair/
