My personal record for old files is this one:
$ ls -l --time-style=+'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z' $HOME/.plan -r--r--r-- 2 eggert faculty 386 1981-07-14 16:01:39 -0700 /home/eggert/.plan
and yes, 1981 is really when I last changed that file, on a VAX-11/780 running
I can beat you: -rw-rwSr-- 1 clive parent 74560 1980-04-28 04:58:00 +0100 /u/clive/relics/games/elite/elites.exe (That surprised me, but I'm pretty sure it's genuine. I believe it's actually a Windows, or MS-DOS, executable that I was given by the author.) I also have a number of files dated 1980-01-01 with a range of times, but I'm a bit more suspicious about them. Though since they are Infocom games they might be genuine.
