Who has the largest collection here?

[Joker T]

Feel free to lock if there is another Topic like this

I was just looking through the room of doom selection and wondered what is the largest known collection here on DP

[Jumpman Jr.]

I'd be interested in knowing this too. I did a quick search, but searching the words "best" or "biggest collection" turned up way to many results to search through.
Thing is, some people collect complete games were as some people collect loose games. Does the person who has 1500 complete games have a smaller collection than the person who has 3000 loose ones?
I've got 1100 games. I know I don't have the biggest one.

[MattyXB]

I don't count my games anymore. To much. But I think not the biggest here. Maybe not the smallest too, but a good middle place can it be. And most I collect only games which I like.
I know only, that I have near 670 Atari 2600 VCS cartridges, because I have near scan all. But these contain many double games with different lables or boxes. Not sure how many different games these real are.

So maybe I am between 1000 and 1500. But not sure, only a guess.

[DreamTR]

I have close to 10,000 different games, but I am sure other people have many more than that...

[imanerd0011]

I have close to 10,000 different games, but I am sure other people have many more than that...

I doubt that there is someone who had "many" more than that. I would think your collection is up there with the biggest. Here is a list of some of the larger collections I have seen:

Megamanfan
Digitalpress (obviously)
I know there are more but I can't think of their names right now.

[Doonzmore]

Mike Mika?

[shaggy]

Well, I've got a little over 1,000 games (not including duplicates) which, I'm sure, doesn't even come close to some of the collections on here.

[namzep]

I have close to 400 games. Maybe the smallest collection on the site. LOL

[Sylentwulf]

Off the top of my head, I'd say Adol or Joe.

[Jibbajaba]

AlanD has a huge collection. So does GoodWillHunter.

Chris

[Joker T]

I have a rather small collection as well.

[Nesmaster]

I have about 900... far from the biggest LOL

[PDorr3]

I have about 700 :embarrassed:

[portnoyd]

Off the top of my head, I'd say Adol or Joe.

I'd say either Adol or DreamTR, publicly known collections.

Or some guy who's insanely wealthy and has been very private who can afford to get every game they don't have. If I had 9 figures, I'd have every game released in the US within 2 years, if not Europe and Japan.

I'm sure paranoia would keep a lot of 10,000+ collections in hiding.

I'm about to hit 3000 games. Maybe about 2-3 more.

dave

[l_lamb]

I know there are several people here with over 10,000 games, so I'm about halfway there. I've got 5644 games with 214 being duplicates. 3351 are complete, and I have manuals for another 597. Most of my incompletes are Atari 2600, NES, and TI computer carts.

[rolenta]

I'd venture to say Joe has one of the largest collection. I believe it's over 10,000 games. I only have a paltry 2553 titles.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Videogamedaryll, hands down

[Joker T]

Intresting how much room do you guys have for all these games.

Nice collections everyone :)

[Doonzmore]

I have close to 400 games. Maybe the smallest collection on the site. LOL

On the contrary i most likely have one of the lowest (250-300) but I supose it's not bad for a 14 year old. :)

[Doonzmore]

Or some guy who's insanely wealthy and has been very private who can afford to get every game they don't have.

Cruzway by far. :D

[RetroYoungen]

I've wondered this before too, but I just know that it'll take me as many years as the big guns (Joe, Videogamedaryll among others) have been playing and collecting for me to get anywhere near. Unless they decide to pity me a bit and cut their collections a bit for cheap in my direction (I can dream...).

I haven't finished my count yet, but I think I'm between 675 and 700 total.

[Mr.Faxanadu]

I have 38,586 games


on my xbox



:P

[dbiersdorf]

Yeah it's extremely difficult at such a young age. I'm only 16 and have 230ish games, and even that's taken years to reach.

[Muscelli]

i have around 10 thousand..

If you sift through the retail games, I have about 100 of them ;) rom discs r00l

[krbrunn]

I don't have an exact number (which I should probably get around to doing here soon) but I would estimate I probably have about 250+ games, with about 5-10 being duplicates, and the majority by far are NES games. I've been collecting for a few years, I just don't buy everything I see... If I did my collection would be huge. I'm kinda picky about what I buy. And I usually end up buying one new game instead of 10 old school games.

[Vectorman0]

How come everyone is judging size of a collection soley on how many games they have? Surely completeness should factor in a bit. I also think that consoles play a big role in collections, especially complete ones. If someone had 700 loose NES games and an nes system as their only stuff, I would say their collection would be smaller than a guy with 100 complete games for 6 different systems.

Because some people don't go for complete collections. I would say someone with 110 loose games has a bigger collection than someone with 100 sealed complete games myself. Games being complete/sealed/boxed just doesn't matter to me at all. Sure it's nice to have them complete, but only if I happen to get it that way.

I semi-collect boxes for pre-16bit games. I sold off/traded all of my 16-bit game boxes last year. I probly have about 300 complete non-sport genesis games that I'm still in the process of selling. I have all the acrts, I don't need all the room required for the boxes too. And if we're talking actual sqft of gameroom, I probably have one of the biggest.

Base number of games? probly only around 2,500... Seriously, I don't know HOW some people have 10,000... are you collecting computer (A800/trs/c64) disks or going for 20 label variations or something? How many 16 bit and earlier games ARE there TOTAL? Hell, I can't even think of 10,000 domestic released console games from the channel f through the PS2?

Meh... its not THAT hard. I'm 19, only been collecting for a year, and I've got 1100. If anything, I think its easier. No rent, no buying food, no buying clothes. All my income goes to video games.

[swlovinist]

I have 4,000 unique titles, more than I will ever play in my lifetime!

[Bluteg]

I have 1573, with at least 40% complete.

I would say I was somewhere in the middle, I think I'm doing good as everything but 150~ NES games I have aquired in the last 2 years.

Yeah, it's not too hard, I'm 13 and since I started collecting last Feb. I've went from about 50 to 300 games. Of couse I don't care if it's complete or not(even though it always helps). About 1/3 of my collection are SNES games from Game Stop though.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I'm coming up on 2,100 unique games, fair collection but overly huge.

Joe has an estimated 15,000 games and there is at least one more collector around here that has that much too.

[Funk Buddy]

I can't wait until I get as high as 5000 games. I'm sitting at 2300 now but unless money gets better it's going to be a slow process. LOL

[Joker T]

What about Griking?

His collection is insane

[rbudrick]

On the contrary i most likely have one of the lowest (250-300) but I supose it's not bad for a 14 year old.

Not bad at all to start. I had even less backwhen I was 14 (less than 100, probably).

I'm not sure how many I have now. Probably in the 2-3k range.

I have no idea how many games i have it would take to much time to count them I guess its over 5000?

I've only got a small apartment at 1000 sq feet. Somehow my girlfriend through careful movement has made it efficient enough for me to ADD games to my collection. 10,000 games in that apartment is quite a feat considering there is her stuff, furniture, two pinball machines, two arcade cabinets, and whole slew of shelves.....Stacking, double stacking, and triple stacking are the only ways in an apartment that small.

AS far as largest collections, who the heck is videogamerdaryll? Going by pictures, you would think people have alot of stuff. I could not even begin to take pictures of what I have just because there's so much insane stuff everywhere. WHo the heck wants to see the "boxes" in my closet where there are 500+ NES, SNES, Genesis and who knows what else cart prototypes are there?

I am sure BuyAtari and Joe Santulli have more stuff than I do...Joe collects for computer systems, and BUyatari buys all sorts of doubles and triples, and owns two game stores...I'm strictly console/arcade and Game Boy/Game Gear as handhelds...

[DreamTR]

I just thought about what I have... I have every game MINUS the number listed released in North America for the following systems:

Colecovision
Intellivision
NES
SNES (need 9 more)
Genesis/32X/Sega CD (need 30 more Genesis)
Virtual Boy
Vectrex
Astrocade
TG16/Duo/CD
Neo Geo
Neo Geo Pocket
Dreamcast
Saturn (need 1)
3DO (need 2)
N64
Jaguar/Jaguar CD
Atari Lynx (need 5)
Atari 7800 (need 4)
Sega Master System

IN addition, I have the following amounts of games for these systems:
N64 DD (all)
PC Engine (30)
PS1 (500)
PS2 (350)
XBOX (450)
GB/GBC/GBA (all boxed) (1250)
Atari 2600 (150)
Famicom/Famicom Disk (550)
GameCube (250)
Cartridge Prototypes (550)
Game Gear (100)
NES European/Australian and Sachens-(100)
Japanese Virtual Boy (all)
Sega Master System European/Brazilian/Australian releases (200)
Arcade boards-(90)
Nintendo DS-(15)
PSP (15)

That's where my numbers come from....
none of this stuff includes accessories or doubles.. I have maybe a couple of hundred doubles in a trade box...

[googlefest1]

wow i have some where around 2000 -2500 and i thoght that was big - i gues not

but i dont count my computer games - since i think that most people dont consider C64 - atari 800 - adam, as video game related

when i consider my collection its "games" (where the number comes from) then computer related like "my C64 collection" "my atari 800 colelction" etc. - i separate them

[Adol]

Well,i have to say i only colldct COMPLETE games...loose games are worth nothing compared to complete ones,generally 4-5 times less in value...even more if the game is factory sealed!

Then,it is easier AND Cheaper to get 1000 SNES games,than getting 100 CIB ones...

for me that is NOT the same thing at all! :)

[Joker T]

Nice collections, mine now seems even worse 1000 games would be alot for me.

Dream TR your collection is HUGE I didn't even though XBOX had 450 games

Holy Moley Canoley.
I knew your collection was big. But that is freakishly big.
I could only dream to have that much stuff. It literally must be taking up your whole house eh?

[DreamTR]

My collection IS taking up the entire apartment....and my girlfriend lives with me. It's a good thing she is extremely organized, and puts up with it. She does have around 1,000 books though, and we have around 500 DVDS and 800 CDS too. Ugh...I don't know how we have room to walk around in that house sometimes!

[Joker T]

God my Girlfriend would shoot me if I had that much stuff and we lived in the same house LOL

I'd love to see pics of your collection.

[DreamTR]

Everyone keeps asking me for pics...I'm pretty sure they are going to be published in a magazine before they go online per their request.. I never had any inclination to try and take a bunch of pics until recently...and even those are not very good...

I wouldn't mind a picture of your NGPC collection. :D

[snes_collector]

SNES (need 9 more)

What 9 SNES do u need? And are all the 700 some others complete?

[DDCecil]

Okay, I'm personally wondering who has the largest collection that has never worked in some type of video game related profession in their life (retail, etc...) :D

[DreamTR]

SNES collector:
I need International Superstar Soccer (not DELUXE)
Mario's Fun with Letters
Miracle Piano
Xterminator
XZONE
Super Goal 2
World Cup 94
Obitus
and FLintstones (not the Ocean version)

I would say all of them are complete except for 150 which are loose.

Also, I had around 800-1000 games by the time I was 18, and had not worked in any game profession. That was over ten years ago. It's not like most of these were "freebies" or anything, I was just more up to date on things 1998-2005.

[googlefest1]

I have never worked in any video game related environment

so everything i collected was on the outside - the hard way

I would like to work for sony though - even though as a gameing fan i dislike the company, but as an engineer i would realy like to work at a company that produces so much stuff - you can just imagine up crap and try it out becasue they have AND manufacture everything you need for that - video games to stereo lithography machines what a dream -

but if could choose any company my first choice would not be sony

[snes_collector]

[quote="DreamTR"]SNES collector:

Well, it's good that you've got the rares over with. I've never heard of Xterminator, was that a typo? And what other version of the Flintstones was there besides the ocean one?

[DreamTR]

Taito produced a game called:

Flintstones The Treasure of Sierra Madrock.

I guess you are right on X-Terminator. It's on my freaking Game Dude list, and I forgot that they are notorious for having titles listed (like Bobby's World) that were never released.

[Buyatari]

So do doubles count?
how about prototypes?
How about systems?

There are a few titles I have hundreds of? Does that count as 1 or several hundred?

I sold quite a few off in the past two years but I still have quite alot left. I never counted it all but to give you some idea, I do know I have over 10,000 extra empty snes/sega/gboy boxes, over 2000 prototypes (mostly disk based) and somewhere between 350-400 N64 systems.

Of course, in many eyes owning two stores will disqualify me.

[Goodwill Hunter]

AlanD has a huge collection. So does GoodWillHunter.

Chris

Just counted up for a similar thread...as of today, I'm at 4555 unique games in my collection. I may hit 5000 sometime next year, but 10,000...probably not in my lifetime.

Rich

[mizarkgram]

I have close to 400 games. Maybe the smallest collection on the site. LOL

On the contrary i most likely have one of the lowest (250-300) but I supose it's not bad for a 14 year old. :)

Yeah it's extremely difficult at such a young age. I'm only 16 and have 230ish games, and even that's taken years to reach.

Meh... its not THAT hard. I'm 19, only been collecting for a year, and I've got 1100. If anything, I think its easier. No rent, no buying food, no buying clothes. All my income goes to video games.

I started collecting when I was 14, starting with my PSX and 5 games, adn as of now, at age 21, I have 522 Unique games, with 296 game sin my trade box

I had over 700 in my collection, but to get some cash and to free up some space, I started to weed out the games in my collection that didnt stand up to my standards for that particular system for completeness, etc.

[djbeatmongrel]

DreamTR: i have miracle piano if you want it. its the cart only and no keybeard but if you are interested, send a PM

[Blitzwing256]

hrmm I have thousands of games for nearly every system...but I also collect transformers power rangers and tons of 80s toylines and have most of those complete..

my whole apartmetn is completely filled with all the stuff, plus a ton of its still at my parents house....so I guess mine is pretty freaking huge but for videogames i'm proably at about 10k+ never counted really

only have about 4-5 protos in the pile but overall I'm proud of the collection :-)

[retroman]

i have around 1500 ....not the biggest...or smallest

[DreamTR]

Pm sent about Miracle. Stupid question time, this IS the SNES version, yes?

BuyAtari: time to sell me some of those boxes since I need a gripload of them, k thx.

[Sylentwulf]

Well, personal inventory only of course :P I have probly 10,000 games in my store stock alone, and almost all have 100 doubles lol.

[Buyatari]

Well, personal inventory only of course I have probly 10,000 games in my store stock alone, and almost all have 100 doubles lol.

Thats a fine line. I have 100 complete NES Zeldas at home on display in what I call "my collection" but if someone asks for one at the store I'll grab one and sell it. Where does inventory end and collection begin if its all for sale if the price is right?

[DreamTR]

I have 2,000,000 games. And they are all Mario Bros/Duck Hunt.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I lost count after 500. I think I am now in the region of 650 or 700 though. Is there a special place here on DP for people who have over 1000 games?


I would be interested to find out who has the most sealed games though... I know there are a few people on here with large sealed PSone / DreamCast collections, and would be interested in finding out who they were and how many they have...

[FurinkanianFrood]

If you ask me, it has a lot more to do with quality than quantity, and I'm not talking about having useless cardboard boxes with carts floating in them.

I never could understand why anyone would buy or keep games they don't intend to really play.

As for people with multi-K collections, I can't imagine why exactly, though if I had the space (and money)I might end up there someday. I only consider enough space to be present when all games are displayed in an organized fashion though, and I have way too much stuff from other hobbies (books, minatures, cards, etc.) to go that far I think.

To get a collection that size requires:

1. Buying huge loads of games cheaply
or (which is the good way)....
2. Loads of cash

I have what I consider to be very nice collections of DC, Saturn, PCE, Genny/Megadrive, and decent SNES/SFamicom stuff. If I turned around and sold all of those along with my half dozen (complete) AES games I am pretty sure I could get up to multiple thousands no problem. Not to mention some of the PCFX stuff would be worth something decent.

So basically I have a small collection concentrated with the stuff I really wanted to play across a dozen or so systems, much of which was not cheap.

I am just a different type of fanatic I guess. One of these days I'll have to put (probably a list of, I don't have a camera or take good pictures) my collection up on the net somewhere. The number of games (500 something) doesn't do it any justice.

It's the import heaviness (more than half the games, I am a huge PCE and Saturn fan so I had to), that keeps my numbers under control I think.

I only worked in a game store for a couple months something like 5 years ago, but it didn't exactly help. A lot of the stuff doesn't exactly grow on trees anywhere in Japan, let alone the local Gamestop.

And as far as someones comment earlier that it is easy when you live with parents, where the heck is the money coming from if you are a teenager? Just wondering.

[kevincure]

I don't think money is the issue when it comes to game collecting. By my reckoning, a complete NES collection (US) at market value would run you 12000, and a Playstation set 9000. That's what a teen with a part-time job at McD's makes in one year. What do you figure a "complete" collection would run? Every game, every system, every PC/TI/Amiga commercial release, limited edition console, etc., but leaving out prototypes? I'd imagine you'd be in the $100k-$150k for a US set (really, there are only 10 or so items that would sell for 1000 bucks+, including the consoles - NWC Gold, SE complete, NWC Gray, 10 Mil Model PSX, Bill Gates Xbox, Adventurevision, 3 or 4 2600 titles, a couple PC items). If you wanted EU and JP sets also, plus a respectable prototype collection, knockoffs, the works, I'd imagine you'd still be well shy of a million bucks. Videogame collecting is nice and cheap =).

As for biggest collection, how about Mayhem? Didn't he drop 2500 on PC Mt. Drash? I'd imagine he's got quite a room of doom.

As for "serious collectors," don't be dismayed by the incredible numbers put up by the true collecting legends in this thread. I'd consider 2500 games, including some gems, enough to rank you as a top collector. 1000 can be quite nice, but I've bought out videostores and been 1000 games up for under 1000 bucks...

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I agree about the quality over quantity issue.

I see many members here have god knows how many loose NES carts and Snes carts. To me, that shouldn't count. Or at least, they should count under a separate counting system (Ie, xxx boxed complete games, & xxx loose)


I can safely say that each and every game I own (Bar half a dozen pack-in) are 100% complete.


I also think doubles shouldn't count either.

I only have 200 or so games, and I'm quite happy with that. :P Naturally, there are a lot more that I want to try out or own, but I'm (obviously) not a collector, I'm just a gamer, and I can't see the point in dropping obscene amounts of money on a game.

On that note, DreamTR, 10k?! :eek 2: That's... amazing.

Is there a special place here on DP for people who have over 1000 games?


Yes, but we cannot disclose any information of it until you actually hit 1000 games. Even by telling you this, I might have to kill you :P

i have 80 game systems and 400 games and i bet that is the best for a 15 year old :D

I can't stand it when people say things similar to "Loose games shouldn't count, boxed ghames count as more/better"

That's BS. I personally don't WANT boxes for a lot of systems, I sold off all of my genesis, and SNES boxes just because they took up a ton of room, and I thought they were pointless. So you're saying my collection isn't as good because I don't WANT the boxes? Should I have just broken them down and kept them in a box in the basement? that would make my collection bigger in some peoples eyes?

I personally judge by how far along someone is towards their "goal" If you are just collecting willynilly for every system ever released, and you have 3,000 games, all complete in box, I don't think it's as impressive as someone who ONLY collects 16 bit and earlier games who has 2,000 mostly loose, since they're MUCH closer to completion than the first guy

Update, 10,000 games and counting, but hopefully not as much, because I am running out of things to buy!

Mr. Collection: I had around 400-600 games when I was 14, majority were NES and Turbo Grafx and Genesis and SNES back then for me....I'm closing in on 30 now, and the majority I obtained after the age of 22.

If I ever get a store, I have no idea what I will do. Maybe it's better to start with a flea market so I have a finite amount of space.

Your insane! Officially, you are 'the collector that I look up to the most.' Most of that is due to your complete NES collection though.
That, and your 7 time NWC holdings @_@

I am in the process of creating an inventory of my whole collection and I am at around 7,500 unique games with about another 30% of stuff to still go. I am all about mint and complete stuff. I know lots of people might think I'm crazy, but around 75% of the total collection is still sealed. In fact, for the modern stuff, that number is more like 90%. I respect people who have large collections, but I am much more impressed with a 2,000 unique game collection that is mint/complete than some collections that have 10K games, but lots of mediocre condition stuff or duplicates. That's just me though.
