    :monster: Another amusing tradition...

    How many games do you own? I've been meaning to write down every game I own in case of some future disaster takes them all away but how many games do you actually own. Feel free to split them up by system and even mention if you've beaten them.

    I own a lot less than I did in my heyday since I typically sell games I don't play anymore. I also play a lot of roms and I don't think those count. I'll count them when I find the energy to stand up.

    PSX: 29
    PS2: 75
    PSP: 11
    PS3: 46ish (tough to remember all of my PSN games without looking)
    Gamecube: 11
    NES: 3
    SNES: 19 (I thought this was higher. I'm wondering if all of them aren't sitting on my shelf right now)
    N64: 24
    Dreamcast: 7
    DS: 10 (most are my wife's but smurf it, I'm counting them)
    GBA: 10
    Game Boy: 10
    PC: 76

    That's more or less all of them. So that puts me at 331 games in total. Not too bad I suppose. Obviously I'm not going to list everything individually, and as far as beating them, I'm not actually too bad. When I was actually attempting to track this on backloggery.com (before I got too lazy to keep updating it) I was in the 70-80% completion range on all of my platforms. So that's anywhere from 231-264 of them beaten. Not too shabby.

    There is no way I could list all the games I own. I'd say a couple hundred is accurate. Most of them would be PS1 games.

    My SNES was the family SNES, so I don't know if I can rightly attribute any games to in. In any case there were only like 8.
    Total = 79. And I have never sold a used game. Man am I ever picky.

    PS1 - 15 = 8 CDs, +~7 PSN games I don't already own
    Completion Rate 88% on CD, 14% on PSN

    PS2 - 22
    Completion Rate 32%

    PS3 - 15
    Completion Rate 47%

    PSP - 12
    Completion Rate 42%

    NDS - 9
    Completion Rate 78% (the reason this is so high is because I hate the DS as a piece of hardware and only buy games for it I really really think I will like.)

    360 - 7
    Completion Rate 29%

    Total Completion Rate: 45%

    I've really throttled back on my new game purchases in the last few years because I have realized I really don't like anything they are making nowadays enough to stick it through and play to the end. The

    Yeah I'm not gonna try to count. Between games I had at one point and may or may not have anymore (moving every year for a solid decade will make a lot of your things disappear), those hundreds of C64 games that are... somewhere... and the fact that the good hundred or so SNES/N64 games I've played are not technically "mine", I'm not gonna try, I'm afraid

    Some of you guys have almost as many games for a single console than I do for all of them combined. My total tops out at about 25-30ish games per console generation, with most being picked up used. I also had decent little NES, Genesis and Turbo-Grafx collections when I was way younger, but those have more or less all been scattered throughout various life events.

    My collection:

    SNES - 11 games (I think), 100% completion. There are one or two that friends have that I'll likely never see again. I lose a lot of games to friends, but I think I'm most sour about the SNES ones.

    N64 - 7 games, 100% completion. This goes back to before I received my PS1 and more or less gave up on Nintendo completely.

    PS1 - 22 games (5 PSN), 100% completion. I probably had one or two more that have gotten lost, never given back by old friends, etc. The most glaring being Legend of Legaia. Man, I loved that game.

    PS2 - 26 games, 92% completion. A few of these games friends of mine have borrowed. I've accepted that I probably won't see these ones ever again. The only two I haven't completed are Okami and Psychonauts. Okami I got off a Cragislist ad, got bored of it halfway in, then stopped playing once I got my PS3. Psychonauts a co-worker got for me years ago. I haven't finished it because I flat out don't like it.

    XBox - 3 games, 67% completion (Jade Empire being the one I didn't finish). I never actually owned an XBox. An old roommate had one and I just bought games for it and took it to my room when we'd trade XBox and PS2. This is one of the friends who has a PS2 game I'll probably never see again: my beloved MVP Baseball 2005.

    DS - 5 games, 60% completion. I actually had 8 games up until a while ago, but traded 3 in for a huge discount on Dark Souls (one of the best trades I've ever made). I also had 4 more games when I first got a DS (system + 8 games for $100 from a friend, sweet) but gave those to my sister.

    PS3 - 25 games (10 PSN), 88% completion.

    I genuinely admire you guys who keep track of not only what games you currently own, but completion rates, as well.

    I recently started a Backloggery account so I can start to do the same; I'm not going to add most of my older games, though, unless I get REALLY inspired. Mostly because I'm lazy.

    Final Fantasy IX (Completed)
    Final Fantasy Anthology (FFVI Completed, FFV not completed)

    Resident Evil 2 (Completed)
    Rival Schools (Completed)
    Tomb Raider II (Completed)
    X-Men: Children of the Atom (Completed)
    Xenogears (Completed)

    Playstation 2: 10
    List
    Devil May Cry 2 (Not Completed)
    Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition (Not Completed)
    Final Fantasy X (Completed)
    Final Fantasy X-2 (Completed)
    Final Fantasy XII Completed)
    God Hand (Not Completed)
    Kingdom Hearts (Completed)
    Kingdom Hearts II (Completed)

    PlayStation 3: 40 (NO GAEMS)

    Xbox 360: 4
    GameBoy Color: 1
    Windows: 2

    And, if downloadable games count:
    PlayStation Network: 5
    Xbox Live: 2

    That's 79 games. Wow, way more than I thought I still had.

    I counted two, maybe three years ago and I had a couple of hundred I believe, mostly for PC and PS1/2. Given that I've stopped trading things in most of the time in order to get a bigger collection, it must be quite a bit bigger now.

    This makes me feel a lot better about having a large collection of games. I'll count when I get home but I think it's somewhere in the vicinity of 80 odd.

    I thought you said large collection of games son.

    I might forgive you because you're in Australia and from what I've heard you guys are in some sort of a time warp and get games later than everywhere else. I can only assume the NES was recently released there?

    Last time I counted I thought my collection was somewhere over 300, now that I've found this backlogger website, I'll be able to organize it better and get an exact number.

    Damn some of you guys have great completion rates. I can't really say how many I own since I only have PS3 and a select few PSOne and 2 games where I'm at. There were A LOT more PSOne and genesis games but they're probably buried in the far deep corners of an attic/garage, never to be seen nor played again. If I had to estimate, I'd say I'm somewhere between 100-200. I'd say the consoles I have the most games for are PSOne and PS3. It also seems like I'm the only one here who had a Genesis/Mega Drive, although I'm guessing most of you just haven't gone back that far for what you're counting.
