Thanks, that should help.
Or at least I thought so, but it seems to be limited to new games. I'm talking about the old stuff, like my old Half-Life: Game of the Year discs. I was hoping for titles on old stuff.

It works for some old games, but just lists them as Valve retail games with **** CD keys.
I was hoping for titles themselves.

What is the purpose of doing this? So you can launch the games through steam rather than from a disc? Not giving you a hard time, genuine question.

Less games I need to hunt through my disc wallets for, and rely on discs. I have piles of the damn things.

Very true about damaged discs...I have always installed my favorite xbox 360 games for this very reason....been a while since I owned a disc based PC game, but I do remember some crazy slow install times.

Some are usable. I had three keys in my old Half-Life: Game of the Year which gave Half-Life and several expansions / mods. I wanted to know if others were usable.

You - I DON'T FUCKING READ ANYTHING.
Seriously, you're dumb. Read the fucking thread, he succesfully redeemed a code for the Original half life, A PRE-STEAM GAME, on steam. Now, When that happens, you sure as hell get wondering what other games you can do it for, so how about you read the full thing first?

I just used a key for Half-Life: Game of the Year that was released before Steam existed and it worked perfectly well...
A little research before commenting can save you a lot of face, you should try it sometime. ~_O

I was informed earlier today that I could redeem a CD key from Half-Life to get several games added to my Steam library. Rather than enter every key I have, I thought I might just ask here and see if this works for more games before I go plugging in CD keys from the 150 disc games I have lying around.
