Shack PSA: id Software Games 50% Off on Steam This Weekend
by Blake Ellison, Sep 05, 2008 3:24pm PDTAre you well-versed in your first-person shooter history? Do you like deathmatch? Do you have all the games made by FPS genre innovator and Rage developer id Software?
If your answers were "no," "yes," and "no," then this weekend is the weekend for you! Valve just announced that its digital distribution service Steam has a weekend sale for all id Software games, and they're all 50 percent off. But wait, there's more! Like this quote from Valve's Doug Lombardi:
"This includes the id Super Pack for only $34.99 (over $200 worth of games). Or take 50% off individual titles such as Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Heretic, and Hexen. Offer ends Monday, September 8."
Shacknews readers are reminded that this very site started as a blog centered on id's seminal shooter Quake and is an essential part of gaming history.

I do have one question: The game says to use the command line to set the screen resolution. Anybody got any idea how you do this with a Steam game?

I've also gotten into the habit of buying the weekend deal if I'm even remotely interested in it. Not sure if that is good or bad.
