There's so many games that I picked up that I'd played through/completed in my childhood, but they'll likely forever show as unplayed in my Steam library. I've been slowly going back through my Steam library chronologically though, to try to at least reduce my unplayed games amount, and also to at least check out games I might've missed. I'm not forcing my self to actually finish the games, just play them for at least a few minutes, maybe mark it for follow-up later, but the point is to reduce my unplayed games list so I don't feel as bad about it.
