The 10,000+ game club - Question :)

[Sylentwulf]

OK, for anyone who has over 5,000 different games, just a quick question. Really, it's easy..... What are they?

The "biggest collection" thread got me thinking again on something that's always REALLY bugged me. So for anyone who has over 5,000 games, do you have any REALLY ROUGH ESTIMATE as to number of games per system? Even off the top of your head? Something along the lines of:

PS2 - 103
Gamecube - 38
A2600 - 559
Intelli - 164
Coleco - 111
PS1 - 55
A7800 - 44
A5200 - 52
NES - 369
Genesis - 479
SNES - 103
SMS - 43
O2 - 46
game.com/microvision/vectrex - 26
gameboy/gba/ds/vboy - 80
sega other - 62
n64 - 32
tg-16/3d0/tgcd/jaguar/jagcd - 48

Edit - I put the real numbers of mine up now that I'm at my main computer

Those are off the top of my head estimates of the number of games I have, and I'm sure they're nowhere near accurate (and I left off systems I have less than 15 games for) Obviously my post-16 bit games is where I'm lacking the most, but I don't collect for those systems. My biggest lack collection-wise would be my SNES collection probably.

I'm just wondering where the hell you get these big numbers :)

[Jumpman Jr.]

I was wondering that too. Its seems as though you would pretty much need complete collections of most of the major consoles in order to have something like 10,000+ games. I guess alot of it could be imports though. That might explain some of it.

Here goes. The (##) is the number of duplicates for that system:

PS1 - 1046 (75 - GH versions)
NES - 584 (1)
Game Boy/Game Boy Color - 544 (2)
PS2 - 453 (14 - GH versions)
2600 - 346 (48 - Sears/label variants)
Genesis - 303 (2)
N64 - 301 (6 - Demo carts)
SNES - 282 (3)
Dreamcast - 251 (19 - All-stars)
Xbox - 188 (4 = Platinum Hits)
GCN - 153 (7 - Player's Choice)
GBA - 121 (1)
Intellivision - 109 (16 - label variants)
Saturn - 95 (0)
TI 99-4/A - 93 carts (0)
Game Gear - 90 (2)
SMS - 81 (0)
Sega CD - 62 (2)
Atari XE - 48 (1)
C64 - 45 carts (0)
5200 - 43 (0)
Colecovision - 42 (4 - label variants)
Odyssey 2 - 38 (2)
Tandy CoCo - 38 carts (3 - label variants)
NGPC - 37 (0)
7800 - 34 (0)
Lynx - 30 (0)
32X - 29 (1)
VIC-20 - 22 carts (0)
game.com - 22 (0)
TurboGrafx 16 - 21 (0)
Astrocade - 17 (0)

Plus 64 more for 10 other systems. I don't count games on floppy discs or cassettes, even though I've got a couple hundred for the Atari XL/XE and C64.

[DreamTR]

I have a really good rough estimate, and I have mostly complete collections of the systems I collect for. I keep tracking of how many new PS2/XBOX/GC games I get, which I have the least amount of...

[Bluteg]

I can't understand how some of you guys have 450 PS2 games or 200 Xbox games. Most of the games that cost $10-$20 NOW will easily obtained for $3-5 after the next gen consoles are released. Just seems like a waste of money to me.

Most of the guys who have alot of newer-era games don't pay more than $5 for a game. I have no idea where they're finding these, but it works for them.
Cmosfm explained this in the "Who's got an impressive PS2/XBOX/GCN" thread.

[DreamTR]

I've got just about 1,000 PS2/XBX, and GC games combined. I used to work at a video game magazine, and know some guys in the industry that sell me games upon release dirt cheap....that's why I have that many,,,

[qbertandernie]

id be happy to give a breakdown of my exact numbers, as i keep everything on excel, but i have nowhere near 5000 games...im at about 3800. if you care, let me know...take about 5 minutes. i can post my costs for the games per system if you care too!

[Slipdeath]

Here goes. The (##) is the number of duplicates for that system:

game.com - 22 (0)

22 games? Do you have two unreleased games or something?

Unrelated, but I always love seeing numbers, fire away!

[Wavelflack]

Alright, here goes:

Genesis--530 (7 doubles)
NES- 475
32X- 2,507 (2 doubles)
SNES- 1 (3 doubles)
Adventurevision- 306
Jaguar- 7,106 (none worth playing)

[Buyatari]

Adventurevision- 306

err.. you sure about that?


I'm sure I have over 10,000 games but no way do I have 10,000 different. If I think is worth a decent ammount of cash and I have a chance to get another down the road I sell it.

I am, but not as accurate as you are. You've got it down to the cent @_@
