I know that on this site den68 has the biggest collection, but does anyone know who has the worlds biggest collection?

-Ty

I think dreamtr ov er on DP has 9-10 thousand games. Not sure if that is true or not.

I cant get into digitpress because i have been "banned" for reasons unknown to me, I did search the name though and came up with nothing.  I know of someone named marty goldberg, who has a VERY, very large collection, and he lives very close to me. 

dreamtr has a friggin huge collection.

He has some MK demos/protos for me....

Last i knew he has some important position at a major gaming company.
Interact?
Intec?
Something like that.

I thought he worked for a gaming mag, but maybe he used to work for that, who knows.  I think Digital Press himself, Joe Santulli, has a huge collection as well.  Other than those that Canadian guy who's collection pics went all over the web probably has the largest known collection...but I bet that the largest collections are hidden from the public.

I would agree.  wayyyy to risky.

My parents think I do. ;)

No, I'd have to say that's bullcrap. What's gonna happen? Stoners are gonna come steal it out of your car while your inside?

If you've got it flaunt it.

http://www.videogamecollectors.com  Pretty good collections some of these guys have.

I would say the  first hardcore collector who hits the lotto will have the largest collection

yeah. if I won I suspect I'd purchase a few games.

People collect for various reasons.  Generally people show their collections not only to show off but to get other people's opinions on them.  Those collectors with insane collections know that they have (one of) the largest collection(s), so there's no need to show off.  Also, I would suspect that the largest collection in the world would be in some mansion somewhere from a high executive career-oriented person, who would have better things to do than show off his/her collection on the internet (like actually play the games, or buy more, in the little free time that they have) ;)

Thats a pretty sweeping generalization.  One that I certainly wouldn't make.

Well, it's obviously speculation (especially some of the details), but I do think that a certain level of wealth is a prerequisite for attaining the largest collection in the entire world.  To get a huge collection you need a combination of time and money.  They are generally substitutes, but honestly, money gets you further as with time you are dependant on other factors (such as luck finding a good deal, waiting on the game to show up, etc) and with money your options are almost endless (everybody/thing has their price, so with tons of money you can purchase just about any game from anyone).  In a matter of fact, if you have enough money and the aim to get the largest collection, you can hire one or more people to do the shopping for you. 

Anyway, technically, I'd assume that the largest game collection is from a very wealthy individual (or group of individuals) who may like to keep their collection private - but in practice, I can find some reasoning as to why this would not be the case. 

Ok, lets just end the discussion now.  Everyone knows Shaggy has the biggest collection. Period.

Shaggy who?

You know, that dude with Yoda as his avatar. ;)

Ohhhhhhhh then NO!

That would be I.  And, no, I don't have Yoda as my avatar.  And remember.  This is the guy who is getting you practice tests!   :grrr:

I wasn't mean at all I just said NO.

 :nono:  You should have did that. :)

Sorry

Adol on DP and other sites has a big collection. No where the biggest, but really nice none the less.

He has a nice Megadrive collection.

True that, he has a lot of 'complete' complete collections for relatively rare and import consoles from what I've seen.

haha yeah I hear that from my parents alot. Everytime I go to buy a game they always say "dont you have every game already?" I just laugh and say no where close to it.

lol my mom use to say that to me when i had around 150 games.

I hope to some day join the ranks of disgustingly large collections.
