And how long has it been gathering dust there? Either haven't opened it at all or just forgot about it. Mine is the first Witcher. I think I got right to the end of the tutorial. Maybe. It's been 8 years since I opened it.

No I'm not calling you out. That's your own paranoia.
The games were made in the 80s and reformatted for now. They're are a trilogy.
The bard's tale. I did 1 for nostalgia, but stopped before the first big puzzle of the bard's tale 2 and haven't gone back. So a couple of years now? 3 at best.

Ai-chan's oldest game gathering dust that hasn't been opened or played is Earthsiege 2. It came out in 1995. It was not downloaded. When Ai-chan found it, it was still in its CD case. Ai-chan couldn't play it back then because Ai-chan's PC back then was a Japanese machine and it couldn't run most of American games. Now Ai-chan can't play it because Ai-chan doesn't have CD player and the game can't run on the OS newer than Win98.

TERA online. Bought the disc at around 2011 without realizing that it's an MMORPG, and since I got it while studying abroad and was using very limited Wi-Fi modem, I didn't dare play it. When I finally got back home where we had unlimited connection, I'm not really into gaming anymore.

The Yaoi Dating Sims my fellow game mates sent our group as Christmas gifts via Steam, just for the lulz.

I don't know. I have so many games downloaded on my steam library. Should I share my steam library?

Edit:oldest game I have is the OG Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo NES classic. Still have yet to get past the first boss.
