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.

I never did finish Castlevania: Bloodlines, and I got that during the mid 90s

Oldest unplayed game is Velvet Assassin.
Bought it on 15 Jul, 2014. Never even installed it.

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.

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.

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.

Gunpoint, from September of 2013. December saw me start trading leftovers, and after that there are quite a few.

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.
