    Doesn't matter the platform or the age, just as long as it's a legitimately owned

    video game currently in your collection, and feel free to count expansion content

    as an individual product.

    A recent count reveals my own library of games to contain 438 games.

    Just for PC, about 6-8 and that's over the past 5 years :D

    For my collecting dust PSP :)(), 6. Gave away my GBA SP :)() to my youngest brother and had about 8 games for that, but they don't count for this thread. Just wanted to get it off my chest

    BTW, I only buy AAA games, hence why I have comparatively few games

    (We jump from 1-10 to 11-50 in the poll???)

    Right now I have on DVD: Every SNES game ever released from any country. It totals something over 9000 games. I also own every NES game. I own over 40 Playstation 1 games, 15 or so PS2 games, and about 40 PC games.

    I left most of my games with my parents when I moved out.
    So I can't give an exact number. I'd say over 50 games.

    I have too many games to count. I really have no idea. I would have to say a grand total of about 300 Games spread across PC, Wii, Gamecube, PSone, PS2, Gameboy advance, DS, Nes, SNES, Atari, and C64

    PC: 72
    Xbox: 37
    Gamecube: 12
    DS: 8
    N64: 31
    SNES: 19
    NES: 27

    I know looking at this you may think I am a complete outcast for knowing exacts but my Aunt was wondering how many games I actually had. So the next day I wrote every game for every system on word and printed them off and gave it too her. I believe the total is 206 titles including expansions.

    I have know idea how many games I have, but there are a lot! I have NES, SNES, N64, Playstation , Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, GameCube, XBOX, and PC games. The cool thing is I have never sold any game I have had. I did give one game to a friend that was working on collecting all the NES games (tough goal!), it was "Ghost n' Goblins" for the NES. Luckily I was able to re-buy it years later at a local used game store. I really enjoy my collection and it is nice to bust out some old school NES and SNES every once in a while! :)

    Okay, I have any recent game because my old computer was slow and now almost any of my game will work on a new computer with vista. I have:

    -Sims 1 Deluxe edition and Sims 1 Vacation
    -Age of Empires II
    -Diablos
    -Singles

    Not a lot but I can play hours on each, if I can make them work on vista. :p

    Do you play at all yours games???

    I not exactly sure how many, but I do still have an atari, nes, snes, genesis, sega cd, gameboy, gba, dreamcast, ps2, xbox, xbox 360, and a whole lot of pc games over like a 18 years span. So, it's pretty safe to say over 100.

    Well, my brother and I have a history of sharing games and he's the one that buys most of them since I tend to buy a game and play it into the ground instead of just buying games every time they come out. Recently I've bought more game than I normally would just because I finally purchased a new laptop.

    I think I personally own:

    PC
    Starcraft + Brood War
    Warcraft II + Expansion
    Warcraft III
    Command & Conquer + Expansion
    C&C: Red Alert + Expansion
    Age of Empires II
    Dawn of War + WA + DC
    Total Annihilation + Expansions
    Company of Heroes
    Supreme Commander

    DOOM
    Duke Nukem
    Unreal Tournament
    Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
    Half-Life + CS + TFC + DoD
    Half-Life 2 + CS:S
    Battlefield 1942 (My brother bought the expansion)
    Battlefield 2142

    PS1
    Final Fantasy VII

    PS2
    Final Fantasy X

    I also have a gameboy and a pile of games but I couldn't name them all.

    I really never play anything but PC games. Other than that I have a handful of emulators and roms. This is a moderately complete list and I've been playing video games for maybe 10-15 years.
