It's worth remembering that SteamOS is essentially just an overlay for the Debian Linux distribution. That means you can play games from outside of Steam itself, particularly old PC games that you can run on a DOS emulator. The best place to get such games is GOG.com, where you can download thousands of classic PC games for Steam OS, including Fallout 1 and 2, System Shock, Planescape: Torment, the Monkey Island series, and many, many more. One of the big perks of Steam Machines is that they'll always remain reverse-compatible, as improving hardware doesn't suddenlynegate their ability to run older games. The thriving retro games market on PC shows that the classics never die, and if you own a Steam Machine, then you're ensuring that you'll be able to revisit them and play them forever.
