Multi carts/ CDs/ disks

[tom]

as in MS Arcade, namco museum, Midas Family Games Compendium for PSX, VCS 32 in 1 cart, GB Gallery and so on....

For your collection, do you count them as one game, or several (depending on quantity of games in the mentioned title) games?

I always count them as one, as in 'one cart/CD or whatever', but somebody told me I should count the individual games, therefore the namco museum vol. 2 CD should be counted as six games.

What's the right way?

I've never heard of anyone counting them as individual games. I mean, you don't OWN them as individual games. You just have the one cart or disc. That sounds kinda shifty, like the dumb kids who brag about having thousands of games when they're all actually ROMs.

just count it as one. I've never seen people list each of the games on the cd/cart separately.

That's like saying you have four TRON games. The light cycle one, the MCP one, the tank one, and the spiders one.

I count them as one game as well.

I think eBay sellers are the only ones who count them as seperate games. I hate seeing "12 Sega Dreamcast Games Phantasy Star and more!" on eBay with a Buy it Now of $19.95 or whatever and finding out it is just Smash Pack.

I count them as one game (i.e. Midway Arcade Treasures, Namco Museum).

Haha, that reminds me of when I bought Kirby Super Star (when it was brand new). The cashier chick commented on the game saying something like "Wow, this is 8 games in one. That's a really great value." Nevermind the fact that I probably forked over around 70 bucks for the game and most of the games are mini-games or too short and easy to be released as a stand-alone game. Altogether I'd consider it one good game, though. :P
