Collection Milestones

[slackur]

4300 unique games listed!!  last one was Okami for the Wii, so good one to round out on.  'course, I still gotta test around 100-120 Atari 2600 carts and then list them.  And then go back and track boxes and instructions for all my classic stuff.  And then list systems.  And the rest of my imports not in the database.  So, long way yet to go for me

I just took a look at your collection and it is MASSIVE!!! Congrats on that!
Oh and if there's more than 300 things you still have to list, you'll be the #1 collector on RFG

I don't know... Den has A LOT of stuff... And he hasn't been a regular here for a while, which is very odd. He probably can update his collection and overtake the lead again.... But still, 4300 games is an intense amount! 

WE WANT PICS!!

You know, I don't have nearly as good a collection (imho) as some folks here, mainly because most of my carts (NES, SNES, Atari, etc) are loose with no box or instructions (but good labels, I have lots of games I don't list because of poor condition).  I love the look of hundreds of games on the shelf, but I also just love playing games in general, so playability is still over collectability to me.  Anyhoo, competing for sheer numbers is fun, but I respect those with smaller collections that are CIB more than the possibly larger amount of games I have.  Plus, I'm a bit of a cheapskate, and don't tend to be willing to spend much on rare stuff, prefering (as most of us) to hunt good condition rare finds for cheap, treasure hunt style.

I love reading about people building game collections, no matter the volume.  As long as they have fun with it!

As for pics, I will post eventually, I promise, its just that they are kinda crowded in my living room right now and we are planning on buying a house soon (Gaming dungeon FTW!!) so I've been packing up stuff to prep for that.  One day...

Picked up my 100th playstation game today. For those that are interested it was Armored Core: Project Phantasma for $1.50. Also, this marks the 7th system I have 100 or more games for. Honestly, I never thought my collection of PlayStation games would reach this number because I really don't actively search for them. They just happen to be what is cheap and readily available in my area lately. Anyway, here is to 100 more.

Congratulations to both of you!

@Atarian75: Your collection looks awesome. And you're only 10 games away from 100 N64 games, too

I know what you mean, I'm always finding PS1 games for around $1. I've pretty much had to quit buying them if they were more than $1, otherwise I'd have more than I could handle.
It's probably due to the fact that were so any many more made compared to other systems. The only games I see more often are PC games.

I know I just hit 200 PS1 games [what I collect] recently. After 5 years.

But I profess, I lost count a few months ago.

Recently broke 200 games

Congratulations! I wanted to reach that goal myself by the end of this year but I'll probably come up 20ish games short

Oh well, I'll get it in 2009 then
