Steam's front page, every month since 2003.
Paste your Steam profile: the time machine starts where your account began, with your games lit on its shelves.
Public profiles only. Free, read-only, no account needed.
Drag the dial to the month, or paste your Steam profile and the time machine starts at the month your account was made, read from Steam's public profile data. The window shows Steam's front page as the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine captured it that month.
Each month is the Wayback Machine's own capture of Steam's front page (steampowered.com until autumn 2008, then store.steampowered.com), picked near the middle of the month, in English and priced in US dollars. While the months play, the window shows a still of each capture; when it stops, the archived page itself opens, links and all.
Yes. The top sellers under the window, their prices and their sale prices are read off that month's page. Today's price is Steam's US list price now for the same game or package.
The archive kept no usable capture of the front page that month, which is most of 2006. The window shows the month before it instead.

The day it was made, to the day, with a ring for every year since.
Every game counted, one spine each, and how many were never launched.
Every game added up, all time, and which games hold most of the hours.
