Free game - Peggle Extreme
This was posted 460 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
A genuine freebie! Peggle Extreme for the PC is a totally free purchase from Steam.
Not sure what the original price was but it’s not a demo or a stripped down version. There is another package called Peggle Deluxe that costs USD9.99 and has more levels and different graphics, but this one doesn’t appear to be a subset of that, nor can you get it in any other package. So basically it looks like it’s a free standalone game. Can’t argue with that!
Peggle Extreme delivers fast-paced puzzle action that combines elements of pinball and pachinko to create a truly unique game experience. As with the original Peggle, Peggle Extreme requires players to fire a metallic silver ball from the top of the screen, relying on gravity to propel the ball downwards while ricocheting off orange and blue “pegs”.
- Master 10 levels of “Extreme” challenges
- Conquer 5 Master challenges
- Play against a friend or the computer in Duel Mode
- Revel in breathtaking artwork and sounds from Half-Life: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2
- Replay and save your best shots
Might be another good (cheap/free) xmas pressie lol ;-)
I went to install Steam and that was the recommended system requirements.
* Windows 2000, XP or Vista
* 64 MB RAM
* 400 Mhz processor
* 1GB HD space (recommended)
* Internet connection (broadband recommended)
I know 1GB (or even 200MB) isn’t a lot of data these days, but when you use a laptop as your primary computer and also like having a large MP3 collection you start thumbing your nose at products that stake a large claim to your hard drive.
The 1GB “recommendation” is so people don’t install a few games and go WTF when they run out of space.
Steam itself is tiny (at most 100MB depending on what you count). Peggle will add a mere 100MB at most or so.
Failing that, 320GB notebook hard drives can be had for under $100
Reminds me of this, and the linked page still seems to be up.
this is a free game and a taster of the deluxe version. so you might think of this release as being ‘shareware’.
Great find. I already have Steam thanks to an earlier deal where you could buy Half Life for $US1.
Two great games now for an investment of $US1 - doesn’t get much better.
(side note, I haven’t played Peggle Extreme yet but I trust in my fellow OzBargainers that it is a worthwhile download!)

It’s making me install steam first, which need upto 1GB of HDD space.
Peggle is a great game but it isn’t worth filling my computer up with shite.
