I just broke into the 800's (805 to be exact) :D :D . All unique, and if i were to count my trading fodder, it'd be about 50 more. Now i know its small potatoes to some guys, but i'm proud of it. I avarage about 35-50 new games a month, so i hope i'll break 1000 by my birthday(July 4) ;) .
Hello Geekdom LOL !

Dang, if only I could buy the sort of games I look for at such a frequency :)
Whatcha collect? (In any case, that sounds like more than I could afford unless you're getting insane deals at garage sales/thrifts, so nice going!)

Heh... I hit that a while ago too.
I've basically decided I won't let it get any bigger, just better! So when new must haves come in (be it classic or new), something has to go. We'll see how long it lasts. ;)

I need 463 more to hit 1000. ;)
537 for me so far.
I been mostly concentrating on newer games I actually want to play lately, but I do pick up a few oldies once in a while. Today I got a supposedly (So I'm told) Canadian Sonic the Hedgehog. (Label is cream colored with line drawings on it. [ IMG (http://jasoco.no-ip.com/files/images/sonicvariation.jpg) ])
But mainly it's been newer games. Especially for my Cube and new GBA. (I have all four Super Mario Advances now. And I crave more. When and where's #5?? Me wantie more!)

Great job! I just broke into the 350s myself, but hopefully I'll be in your shoes sooner or later.

I just broke... 60. :embarrassed:
Yeah, I've been a gamer forever, but just a beginning collector.
Anyways, good luck towards reaching 1000!

Congrats!
If I were to think really hard, I can remember having around that many games. Then I nearly sold off everything and I'm pretty minimalized anymore. I only have what I really care about or want to play, which is 200 nes games and 40gcn games. Wish I had some GBA games to go with it but I'm too cheap for it. I've got sprinklings of other systems but not much. Maybe I'll find a hot deal at Goodwill and be right back up there soon LOL

I'm happy with my collection being 7 away from 200 at this point myself.

Good job. My collection floats around 200 titles. I get a nice collection and then a large expense comes up and I have to move some things on eBay. :o Such is life.

Congrats, Not a cheap or easy task.
Im still updating my own lists, so they only show a little more than a 1000, but im closer to 1100, when i add in my NES and GG stuff...

COngrats! That is not a small collection, by any means. I think I have like 400, never counted lately though.

that's alot of money to be spent. I know I have spent a butt load of money, and I am only at about 500-550 at the most.

Just passed the 200 a week ago, took me 1,5 year and thousands of euro's ... 800 will take me 6 years and a shitload of money @_@ Good job! :)

I wonder if you've got the largest collection in the County? Think about it... I'd say there's a good shot you do. I think I can lay claim to the largest collection of unique Turbo games in the County.

In Waukesha County...maybe, but in Milwaukee County i think its Goodwill Hunter that probably takes that title. I'm still tryin to figure out who here at DP lives around me x_x ;) .

If I'm correct, I do believe there are at least a couple other people in Bucks County PA with me... I wonder who they are and how big theirs are.. I mean their collections, you perverts.. ;)

LOL That was good for a laugh.....but I really don't think there are any other board members in my immediate region. There are some about half hour to an hour away but that's about it. And yes, in Ohio....distance is measured in minutes ;)

Yeah, there's no way 800 claims Milwaukee County. Supposedly there's some f**k nut who was in the Journal. I guess there was an article about his... 14,000!!! games. I don't know if that's true or not, but that John dude at mine and your local Funco was telling me about it.
