Depends what you mean by "oldest". If you mean longest since last update.... I dunno, I don't use much old stuff in that regard, probably a game. Oldest as in first written, probably the Linux kernel or BASH, whichever came first (I think BASH came after the kernel, it was SH before that?).

Well, if they need 3 years at a time to make an Episode, how long do you think they need for a whole game?
