How many games.....?

[0iD]

Have you sat down & added up how many games you've purchased in various formats. From the ZX81 on...... it's just plain scary! I got well over 250 (cuz I is old!) and stopped counting there. All that money!

[Stewart]

Loads.

I've got a lot better though, I only buy games every now and again now. Only got Halo3 and Mass Effect for my 360, and I'll get Burnout when its out. Beyond that, apart from XBLA games, companies are going to have to earn my money by actually bringing out games I want to play a vastly inflated price for.

i count just under 100











dvd-cased pc games.

don't ask me to add other formats onto that

... I is old too (well, mid 30s) and I really don't want to think about the amount of poppy spent over the years on games - not only games but also the hardware. I'm just as bad as I ever was, I will hoover up all the 1/2 decent new releases I can find...

Well into the 300's here if i count all the old £1.99 games on the BBC etc.

I've got well over a hundred PC format games, (tend to keep all the old style boxes)

i count in excess of a few thousand over 25 years
currently have 100 pc games 16 360 ganmes and 20 xbox and 10 gamecube plus 10 gameboy advance games thats just what i own now.

i had an atari 2600 about 20+ years ago and hav had pretty much every console since then from the c64 to the zx spectrum a ps1 and 2 an xbox all the nintendo's up to the GC

i remember in my teens i had about 400 games at one point spread across the c64 zx spectrum neo geo mega drive game gear and master system

[gtech]

And how many have you got for free

[Salazaar]

Since I started gaming on a BBC micro... well over a thousand at a guess.

[IBM]

Commodore 16 - couple of dozen
Amstrad 8256 - five or six
Sega Master System 20+
Sega Mega Drive 50+
Sega MegaCD 10+
Super Nintendo 5+
Playstation 1 - 20+
PC 20+

I would have bought more for the MD and SNES, but was dragged into the North East's seedy underworld of games copiers....something about which I totally regret and now say 'Copying is bad, m'kay', but at the time was dangerous and cool

[finlay666]

Well I own about 100 pc games....and wii games, ds games, psp games and that is just current formats.....

probs 300 or so

[Shooty*]

C 16 (monty on the run, auf weidershen Monty (though in a reduced format), frenetix, scooby doo, etc)

Spectrum +2 (exolon, cybernoid, head over heels, various Dizzys, some amazing isometric thing where you're in a hidden world with dinosaurs and have to walk across a swamp and evade cannibal pygmies, Xenon)

Amiga (Rick dangerous, altered beast. Xenon 2)

PC
PS2

Rick Dangerous was awesome!
think my fave Amiga game was hostages though, i saw a video of it on youtube just before christmas, a game finished in 14 minutes . . . .those were the days

Oh, I forgot: I won Operation Wolf for the spectrum in a C+VG or Your Sinclair magazing compo when I was abuot 12. I was thrilled. I'd never won anything before.

I could never understand the appeal of OutRun. Motorcycle games where you get to actually sit on a replica bike: fair enough. Steering a car standing up? No thanks.

Going back to the BBC days now, I would dearly love to play Codename: Droid or Strykers Run again.

I've already got the fantasic Imogen remake by Ovine by design. One of the best games ever ever ever, faithfully recreated for the PC. Get it! Get it now!

When you think that that was a BBC B game, the graphics were little short of mindblowing, compared to the "knitted wooly jumper" style of repton. Or Repton 2. Or repton 3. Or repton 4.

Why do my posts seem to be stuck at 165?

Edit: oh. they're not. Still a hell of a long way off the magic 500 and my own avatar though. Sigh.

mmmmm...... loading games from a dodgy casette deck, those were the days

aaaah the 15 minute "im trying to be a fax modem" loading noise, brings back those memories of sitting there waiting to get on Vigilante or Sooty & Sweep's milk run
