How many games installed at the same time?

Do you wait until finishing one to unsintall and install another, or have many games started and alternate them?

 

Currently seems like I have 13 games, where 5 of them are Japanese... ^^; I have a load more, but I uninstall to save space.

 

well defo finish any games I start but play few simultaneously- depending on the mood I guess and I do keep all of them but use an image to run to save myself shuffling those dvd... pls note all are genuine :]

 

ATM I have these games installed

Far Cry 2
Crysis
CoD 4
Burnout Paradise
Dead Space
Race Driver GRiD
World Of Goo
Doom 3
Quake 4
NFS MW
NFS Undercover
Zuma
BeJeweled 2 and Twist

These aren't that many, I have un-installed quite a few as I have to study for my finals in may, so the fewer the distractions the better

Once I finish a game I only keep it installed if I still play it both on or offline, otherwise its replaced

 

I have probably close to 40-50 games on this laptop. The thing is that most of my games are in the 1998-2001 date range. They just don't make games like they used to. It just seems like all the game producers are doing is just pumping out a sequell to a great series that isn't even worth the disk it's shipped in.

 

Right now I have:

One Must Fall 2097
Capitalism II
Medal of Honor Allied Assault + expansions
Crysis Warhead
Counterstrike Source
Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate Edition
Doom 3
Red Alert 3
Sins of a Solar Empire
+ PS2 emulator

I have very broad taste in games =P

 

mmmm, let's see

NFS Undercover
NFS MW
FEAR Perseus Mandate
HL2
CS:S
Prey

hummm, not that many))) too busy with other stuff

 

Right now:

- Battlefield 2 (uninstalling soon)
- Battlefield 2 - Special Forces (uninstalling soon)
- Left 4 Dead
- COD 4
- World in Conflict

 

I like partitioned HDDs with one partition dedicated to games only.

LotRO
Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire
WoW

Galactic Civ 2 + expansions

Wing Commander: Privateer Remake using the Vega Strike engine
Space Force: Rogue Universe
Homeworld 2
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
ZSNES Super Nintendo Emulator (my SNES broke when I moved) with:
- Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
- Super Metriod (best console game EVER IMHO)
- Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
- MegaMan X, X2, and X3
- Chrono Trigger
- Final Fantasy 3 and 4
- Desert Strike
- Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3 and Ultimate MK3



What can I say... I have the attention span of a squirel that got into a coke dealer's stash. If I play the same game two days in a row, I must REALLY want to get something done in it.

If you count each game loaded in the emulator as a single game, that comes to 33 games...

 

Uh lets see, installed right now:

So a total of 28. I didn't think I had that many O_O

Edit: yes all of these are installed on my laptop's 250GB drive... No wonder it's almost full.

There are some jpg snapshots of my icon list about half-way down...

Around 152 games on the laptop's 320 GB internal drive...(not counting MS Hearts, Minesweeper, Lemonade Tycoon, etc)...

Around 139 games on the 500 GB USB drive of which around 43 games are Steam games...and the USB drive goes everywhere the laptop does...

So I would call it about 290 full-size games that run off the HDDs without using the CDs/DVDs...I'm a full blown pack-rat...but you never know when you'll have an itchin' to go back and play the original System Shock...

And then the internal drive has the Microsoft Office suite ($20 under the Home User Program since my work licenses a copy for me to use at home and work), some Adobe and Nero software, and around 14 GBs of mp3's...with 22 GB remaining for video editing/burning...

It's incredible considering my first DESKtop had a 540 MB drive...

Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII (all emu)

 

I also have about 50 games installed including many installed within a virtual environment. Most of my games are older (90's-2001) though with only a few being this year. I spend more time playing Tiberian Sun Total War and GTA SA than the more recent games.

 

Right now these are installed:

Oblivion
The Witcher
Fifa 08
Assassin's Creed
Mirror's Edge
Call of Duty 4
Fallout 3

 

I have about 12 games that I am too lazy to list at the moment.

 

I have 8 and I thought that was a lot...

I don't usually replay games after I finish them... except for NFS and PES

 

I don't really feel like counting them all, but I'm sure it's double digits. I never really uninstall any games (except demos of games), so that contributes a lot. I figure I may want to play them again, so why uninstall them? That's especially true for multi-disc games, as being a college student it's easier just to have the one disc I need to play the game and leave the others at home. I also tend to prefer games with lots of replay value (strategy especially, but also a few FPS and racing), so it's not like I'm finished with a game forever after playing it once. Things like Civilization, Total War, Age of Empires - you don't just play one game of those. I still regularly play Civilization III that I got more than 5 years ago.

And I don't even have all my games installed. Some of the older ones I don't play often anymore I haven't installed since I installed XP in December. But it's sure nice not to be limited to a 14 GB hard drive anymore!

 

Oh, my goodness...

Can I have that for a sig? I think that's my new favorite phrase on forums...

Anyway, I tend to build up games, mostly because I forget to uninstall ones I'm no longer playing (or because "I'm sure I'll get back into that one day!")

The desktop has probably 30 games or so, but all are older games, as it hasn't been my primary computer for a while. The laptop has 3 or 4, but that's mostly because I never did get everything on it before it died.

When the newly ordered M17 arrives, I guessed I'd probably have 6-10 or so, once all the dust settles. I may go a different route this time and actually only keep games on there that I'm actively playing - maybe make a folder for old saved games/high score lists or related info, then uninstall the old games. That way, if I ever wanted to reinstall, i could save some info..

 

I install a game and if I like it even a little Ill keep it on my PC so that I can play it whenever. Nothing is worse then having a small timeframe to kill and not having the game you have an urge to play.
