I think
Alex Kidd in Miracle World was the first game ever I played properly. It was built into my Master System, which was great but meant that I came to associate it with my cartridge not working.
SALES!
Direct2Drive are having a spring sale and, in true D2D style, they make it as confusing as possible with regions.
UK,
US,
Yurp. You might be able to use other region's stores (and currencies), I'm not sure.
This week's deals are, in screencap-o-vision:

Highlights are
King's Bounty: Gold Edition (both games!),
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Combo Pack (best of the series from the guy who made the great
Elite),
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (atmospheric, interesting sanity system, bit buggy).
On steam,
Zombie Driver is 50% off. You drive at zombies.
On Impulse, the
Civilization III and IV Ultimate bundle is on sale for $an amount. I cant see what it is because of regional restrictions, US and Canada only.
