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

oldest release on steam update: i found dragon's lair on there, so the year to beat is now 1983 store.steampowered.com/app/227

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 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? 🌳
