iD lives on in Valve's Steam

(tags game, download, FPS, Windows)

iD is re-releasing its old games on Valve's download service Steam (Thanks Slashdot). This includes genre defining games such as Doom, Quake but also older classics. I have the Doom series and some of the Quake ones I think on CD somewhere, but I am still tempted to buy this digital thing. I can install it at any time, anywhere (well within reasonable limits). Here I bold the games I am interested in:

• Commander Keen, Episodes 1 through 5
• Wolfenstein 3D
• Spear of Destiny
• Return to Castle Wolfenstein
• Ultimate DOOM
• DOOM II
• Final DOOM
• DOOM3
• DOOM3: Resurrection of Evil
• QUAKE
• QUAKE Mission Pack 1: Scourge of Armagon
• QUAKE Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity
• QUAKE II
• QUAKE II Mission Pack: The Reckoning
• QUAKE II Mission Pack: Ground Zero
• QUAKE III Arena
• QUAKE III: Team Arena
• Heretic
• Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders
• HeXen
• HeXen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
• HeXen II

But at USD 70.00 and 17 games and/or add-on I won't play, I think I should just skip it.

This move should put those Epic/DE people to shame. Come on, where's the downloadable Unreal/Unreal Tournament pack? I would definately buy it if its on Steam.
