I was sitting around and wondering what to work on next in my backlog and I wondered what game has been in my backlog the longest. Turns out it was From Dust which I bought on the 23rd of December, 2011 (14th activation on Steam), Cave Story+ is the next game on that list which was my 16th activation (24 Dec).

So, what's been in your backlog the longest?

If you are logged into Steam, you can see the order in which you redeemed games here.

Why don't I just go with non Steam games and horrify you guys with stories of backlog going back decades?

I have a sealed 5¼ floppy with Rocky's Boots on it for the Apple IIc from 1982 I believe, so that would be coming up on 34 years :o

I also have some copies of BF 1942 that I got at Frys over 10 years ago that I still haven't activated on Steam.

Well this account's only been around since July 2010 and my first purchase on it was on Dec 1st. So it doesn't go too far back. Deus Ex: Invisible War, purchased Dec 21, 2010 is the oldest game in my library that I haven't even installed.

And wow, I'm surprised to see that the second oldest unplayed game is tied between TES: Oblivion and Portal 2 dating back to Nov 2011.

Prince of persia warrior within, July 2012.

To be honest I havent played it because I tried a couple of the other "new generation" prince of persia and so far only the ubisoft one seemed to be worth it.

My first activation was the Half-Life Platinum Pack (Half-Life, HL:Blue Shift, HL:Opposing Force, Deathmatch Classic, Ricochet, CS, TFC, DoD) on 15/10/2005 and I haven't played a single one of those games on Steam, though I did play Half-Life and Blue Shift pre-Steam.

Same deal here.
I got the Half-Life Platinum Pack on 1 May, 2004.
Played them pre-steam, only played TFC and CS shortly after steam was released.
They didn't track play time in those days though.

Bought Killing Floor by July 2013 because it was on sale (my first Steam Sale). I really don't care for online/multiplayer/coop/whateveryouhavetoplaywithsomeoneelse, so I don't even know why I bought it.

Not counting Secret of the Magic Crystal which I got for the kids (and has been played, just not by me), it's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky (6th July 2011). One day.... one day. Gotta finish Shadow of Chernobyl first though.
