How many games have you still not played in your collection?

[Drag0nsfyre]

I am finding out as I start to aquire more and collect more in the classic games dept. that I have a bunch of games still yet to really play and enjoy (besides initial "working game test" on cartriges etc) I even have a bunch of modern games (PS2 XBOX 360) To still finish even. I know I will eventually find the time to play a bunch of the games that I picked up and enjoy the memories or even check out for the first time. Unfourtunantly you can only play one game at a time though :( So I was wondering how many of you have a ton of games you still have yet had the chance to sit and enjoy playing. I'm sure it must be tough with those of you that have really large collections.

[Damaramu]

I have a stack of PS2 games that I either received as gifts or bought that are still sealed.

[MrRoboto19XX]

Probably around 200 give or take. I find large amounts of games for sale at an inexpensive price and buy them. I guess Ill get around to buying them eventually.

[Joker T]

I have about 15-25 I haven't played.

[AMG]

I don't know the number off hand, but it's too many. My backlog is getting ridiculous.

[Funk Buddy]

I would say 1/2 to 3/4 of mine have not been played.

[googlefest1]

a ton - too many to count

[jajaja]

Do you mean totaly untested or "only played for 5 min" ?Almost all games in my collection have been tested. I still havnt got around to play some GBA games i have. I also have a PS2 game i still havnt tested.

[Nebagram]

Number of games- 620
Not played thoroughly- well over 400
Not played at all- around 80-100

I hate having those little 'U's in my collection database and am determined to wipe them out by any means necessary. :-p

[jferio]

Depends on what you mean by 'played'.

Many of the fighting games for the PS1, I haven't sat down and really played much of (except WWF Smackdown 2, only because I could build myself and do a few seasons). I've also got games on the Genesis and SNES that I haven't really played since I got 'em... not to mention several newly acquired carts for my Atari, including two AA homebrews that I played enough to understand what they were, but haven't touched. Not that they're bad, I just haven't had time or the inclination to, well, spend a day just playing video games.

You are definitely not alone in fact IIRC I made a topic just like this years back. It's certainly been asked before and a lot of us classic gamers especially are finding ourselves in this very boat. The backlog is ludricrous (sp?)

For me I own about 130 Genesis games and 130 NES games. I probably haven't even tested 120 of my NES games and 115 of my Genesis games!

SNES wise I own around 400 and probably haven't played 350 of them yet.

We all know that familiar tune all too well -- "one day I'll get to it." At some point or another, we never will, and that's just the way things are. Many of us I'm sure will end up selling part or much of our collection away one day.

Right now you might be thinking "No way!" but it's funny how one can change in a year's time, let alone 5.

(in 2001 I loved the Saturn, and did throughout 2005. I built up a collection of as many as 330 titles, but now am down to 195. I never imagined in my wildest dreams I would downsize it like I did)

[FantasiaWHT]

My collection has been shrinking rapidly, but of the 50 or so games I own, I've played all but 5 or so PS2 games that are just waiting their turn.

[Sph1nx]

I honestly beleive that I haven't played half my games.
(Played meaning doing more than just testing a cart for 2 min)

[XYXZYZ]

I played Ninja Gaiden (XBOX) at a demo unit in Gamestop when it came out. Later on a friend of mine bought it for cheap, didn't like it and gave it to me. that was over a year ago, and I still haven't opened the case.

That, and there's a stack of Genesis games I got in a lot that I still haven't played.

[roushimsx]

On Xbox I have 29 still sealed, 18 opened but unplayed.
On PS2 I have 38 still sealed, 82 opened but unplayed.

:(

As I roll back previous generations, it only gets worse. I suffer from an acute disease called, "OHHHH, SHINY!"

[Pico956]

0. Every game that I get, I make sure to give it a whirl. It's exciting.

[Emuaust]

Hundreds, I run a game store and get first pick of the second
hand, i also get games at cost price so i seem to get more
and more every week with less and less time to play them :/

[Beefy Hits]

At least 20.

[ozyr]

Like many here, I have a rather large backlog. I just am in the habit of buying games that are on sale, and taking 2+ years to get around to playing them!

[Jumpman Jr.]

Probably around 1500

[Ed Oscuro]

Fewer now that I've decided to use my Mega Jet for some convenient Mega Drive game playing. I can truthfully say that the first time I played an actual Hard Corps cartridge I beat one of the scenarios (the "prehistoric dope" one) :D

I need to really put some stuff together and keep playing things, though. Also should try to sell some of the stuff I have no interest in.

[Juganawt]

I have about 300 sealed PC games that I have yet to play, along with about 50 DC, 100 PS1 and 10 or so Saturn... Not to mention my new NES games I just got (waiting for the machine to arrive before I get the chance of playing them)

Oh and Hitman Contracts & Moto GP 06 on the 360. Have played through the first sections of them both, but that's about it

[gepeto]

Too many to count but I will tell you this One day I will get around to playing each one:) If I don't I lived a happy life.

I find that the older I get the easier I get distracted.

I am glad I have my collection. I know I won't beat every game untiil the credits roll but it is there to be beat.

Here is the weird part when I read someones review or a post on a game I have I feel an excited attachment even though I haven't beaten the game. knowing someday.

I just started playing God of war?

[videogameoverdose]

Less than 10% played

I'm trying to figure out where to start.

But I still enjoy owning them, knowing they'll be there when I get to them.

[Steve W]

I've got heaps of modern games that I haven't played, mainly because I can't resist buying them when they're cheap as they are lately. I've got a lot of classic games that I haven't played either. A lot of 5200 games (I haven't hooked mine up because I hate the joystick so much), a few CD-i games (just not all that interested), a massive amount of Memorex VIS programs (nearly all edutainment and kids's stuff), and some various Atari 2600 and Sega Saturn and Game Gear games. I've recently found a working Colecovision (as well as any 23 year old Colecovision really works, which isn't all that well) so i've finally played the 35+ games i've built up for it. And i've recently picked up several Turbo games, but I haven't felt like digging my TurboGrafx-16 out to play them on.

[Haoie]

Everything I own has been played at least once [for a few min at the very least].

[dylan0228]

I think the hardest part for me is deciding what game to play. You get into a game a bit and something new comes along. I`m sitting here typing and debating what game I should play. Having children makes it hard too!

[PapaStu]

I've easily got a good 500 PS games that i've never played. A good 150 PS2 games, at least 25+ GCN and XBox games apiece that havn't been played. An unsure number of GBA games as well, and a good 10-15 DS games that havn't been played.

[MagicMajenta]

There are A TON of games I still haven't played in my collection. Just waiting for time to actually get to sit and play them.

[Luke]

---TOO MANY--- really!! I just keep buying the things though. Initially it took a while to play them, but now I do not even open the things! I must have 100-150 un-opened games from Saturn to Xbox just sitting in stacks all over the place. :(

Just have 'other' $#!+ to do too.

[merriman_bk]

Other than testing to see that they worked and that I wanted to keep them, ones I've never truly played -- at least 120 or so heh.

[bunbunz23]

I have about 100 games I have not played yet. I live in a townhouse were all my games are in a closet which makes it hard for me to pull games out to play. Especially when you have two toddlers that are trying to get in the closet anytime I have it open looking for games. :)

[Drag0nsfyre]

For those who were asking about what I meant as "played" you all were on track. :) I was'nt counting the "new game working test" Where you play it for a few minutes. I meant "played" as in at least sitting down checking it out having some decent time into a game. Hell, I have some modern games where I'm at the end but I hav'nt went bac kto finish them LOL and of course I have plenty of the classics I still need to sit and enjoy. I have about 3 or 4 games on the go that I'm playing. @_@

[Solotaire]

Really, Ive played about half, but technically less than that, because I have a lot of dupilcates over many consoles (Dragons Lair, MKs, and the like) That I haven't bothered playing.

I enjoy playing games, but I have very little time to do so. I work a lot to pay for my habit :P and I have a loving fiancee that while she thinks my collecting is cute, she knows as well as I do that it is just a hobby. I might play a game for an hour a night, and its either what Im playing at the moment (a lot of CSS :P) or, Something that I just got new.

Also some games haven't been played because I only have 6 consoles hooked up right now. I just got 3 new 3DO games, and my 3DO isn't hooked up. Infact, I haven't Played any of my 3DO games that I have recently purchased. Some, again, are dupilcates (Need for Speed and Alone in the Dark), so they won't get played, but I really wanna play Daedalus Encounter, so Im going to have to dig out the 3DO and give it a whirl

[Darren870]

Over 1000, easily.

[dreamcaster]

At 470 games, I am happy to say my answer to this thread's question, is zero.

[Xizer]

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. I'm keepin' it factory sealed.

That said, I have played a pirated version I downloaded.

Oh, you mean never played for more than five minutes? Hmm...hundreds.

[The Great Dane]

I have played all of my games at least once. There are a few I have that I bought from a guy when I bought his Saturn, Sega CD, and 32X that are really scratched up and don't work, so I wasn't ever able to play them. Otherwise, if they work I play them all.

[Nez]

800-900 easy

[vintagegamecrazy]

I'd say that at least 30% haven't even been stuck into a system and even tested to see if they work!
