Ho-ho-ho!

I didn't do that intensive a search, but the earliest post I found
doing a CSIPGA Holiday Give-Away dates back to 2014. Can you imagine
that we've been doing this for ten years already?! It wasn't always as
grandiose as recent years have been, but the core conceit --giving
away keys for games to be claimed on digital marketplaces-- has
remained throughout. It really IS a yearly tradition!

So let's keep that tradition going! Here are some more games!

* You Suck At Parking Complete
https://store.steampowered.com/app/837880/You_Suck_at_Parking__Complete_Edition/
A racing game where the goal isn't so much to cross XD6V3
the finish line as to stop neatly in front of it. Almost
as much puzzle game as arcade racer, "You Suck" is a game that's
a bit too whacky and 'xtreme' for my tastes, but I can K43X3
understand why it might appeal to others.JRFEB

* Realms of Chaos
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358320/Realms_of_Chaos/
Yes, it's another ancient DOS classic, but on the plus sideGIYZP
there's only one of these! One of Apogee's last platformers,
it's a fairly competent and good looking action game, with
some nice backgrounds and good animations. The gameplay 6600H
itself is fairly average but if you enjoy games from this
era, this isn't a bad example of the genre.JDDGX

Thanks to a Great Reshuffling, I was able to find some extra games to
offset my poor scheduling that almost made me miss out on providing
goodies today. And a good thing too! We can't have empty stockings
this holiday season! Every day must have free games!

But does that mean there will be more games tomorrow? Well, I guess
you'll just have to come back and find out for yourself!

Ho-ho-ho!

I don't like racing games or platformers so I will pass on these.

I'll be here!

I am pretty sure I played its shareware back then and didn't like it so pass.

Oooh! Ant is neck-n-neck with Geeknix again. Meanwhile, once-mighty
MikeS is falling behind. We got a few others trailing behind, and a
bunch who haven't even figured how to get out the gate. But the race
is still on and there's ever so much farther to go!
