How many games are setting on your HD? I started to remove games that I am not actively playing to try and get through some of them instead of letting them set.....
PE
About one hundred right now give or take twenty. More than that sitting
in GG or Steam but not downloaded onto my newest HD. A slightly lesser
number lying around on disks. Many lots of abundance
183 by my count; I have to put the shortcuts for most of them in folders on my desktop. Of course that doesn't include those I have purchased from GOG.com and GamersGate that I haven't downloaded yet--there's a large number of them due to the recent holiday sales. Then there are the hundreds of retail boxed PC games I have sitting on shelves or packed in boxes.
23 and I stopped counting at G. Also didn't look through Steam, nor did I count stuff that came pre-installed like Minesweeper.
Probably safe to say somewhere between 100 and 150 and that won't count a bunch of things that have been there and are already removed on a disk or in a cloud.
I'm not sure I want to count.....

And let's not forget all the tabletop games on shelves, in boxes, or stored in carrying cases...
Now I don't feel so bad. 4 Total Wars, do the mods count? 2 Combat Missions, Skyrim, Dragon Age, Silent Hunter 4, and Icewind Dale2. Total... 10. I've been very strong during all the holiday sales.

To be fair, at least for me, it's a professional hazard :)
Impressive Slash. I have about 25 loaded onto my desktop that I am either playing right now, have played in the last few months or will play in the next few months. That also does not include unloaded GOG, Steam and boxed games. Probably 100 plus if I count those. But when considering bang for the buck, no hobby gives me more. Well except maybe one but you know, etc., etc.
I'm up there with Greybriar - maybe more.
I've got so many games on my desktop that I start to question whether I will ever play those games or not. Or am I just a collector of games: a rat packer?
I'm sitting at around 150 somewhere. :o
Now I know why my hard drive is constantly getting filled up.
32 and 8 uninstalled sitting on Steam
I never thought I had as many installed as I currently do.... 110! So I have started removing them and will only have about 25 installed at one time. Parring them down and only concentrating on those 25 installed.... it should help my ADD anyway :-P
PE
Currently installed...39.
I haven't counted in a little while (partially because I've been afraid/embarrassed to!), but last I did so, I was at 40-something games on my HD. Given that I've picked up a few more since then, I'm very likely right around 50 now...and those still aren't all the games I have. :-[
15, of which 7 are DoW and DoW2
Total war shogun
Total war Empires
Warlock
L4D2
Earth 2160(crap it is too)
FSX
Auran Trainz Classics 3
Bloodbowl

Methinks you have some catching up to do.
Indeed I do. I should live so long already.

...but I did anyway. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 :-[ (damn holiday sales)
"Hello, my name is Steve and I'm an gamer-holic"
I probably only play a 6-8 of them...time to clean up my HD.
84 on my HD. Probably a couple dozen more between my Steam and Gamersgate Library. A large box full of boxed games, some of which I've uninstalled. Of course due to my ongoing gaming sickness I regret to say that I have two more boxed games on their way to me from Amazon, they should be here by Friday for my next fix. In fact, I think I'm starting to get withdrawal shakes right now!
I pretty much overdosed on games from both Steam and GG over the holidays! Too many damn bargains!!

Thats not even fair to bring that category into this. 8)
Erm, I don't want to post my figures - they're the highest in this thread so far by a long shot.
Most of them were bought in the Golden Age of 2008-2011 when I had plenty of cash and plenty of time to play. Today I have neither!
I have around 150 - 200 games installed (between my desktop, laptop and netbook)...too many...

Haha! I was just watching that last night, Geek! :)
About 40 installed, somewhere around 150 if I include stuff at Steam and Gamers Gate and GOG that isn't installed, and not counting games on phones and tablets. Also not counting stuff on CD/DVD that isn't installed, or that chest of board games downstairs that includes stuff that goes back at least 35 years...
All of which sounds about average for this group based on the contents of this thread. So, if we're all like this, it can't be a problem, right? Right?
The count is nineteen. Which surprises me. Because I was pretty sure it was like, ten.

I would just be installing & uninstalling every two days, if I didn't have over 150 installed at all times. :P
Right now, I have 0.5 games on my HD. Normally I have between 10-15 games.

I only have a dozen or so installed. I probably have 200-plus in physical or digital form.

I have no problem with that.
Generally speaking, once I finish a game, I'm done with it. There are very few I'm interested in revisiting, though if some friends fire up an oldie I have been known to join them on occasion.
I'm just the opposite. I revisit a lot of old games. But I also buy too many new ones. The key here is time.

Had my SSD crash the other day. Skyrim was 50% redownloaded.
I've got around 25 or so installed. Lord only knows how many are in a box out in the garage or on Steam, GG, Impulse and elsewhere.

I have this problem as well. I enjoy too many "oldies" (such as BOTF and MTW), and I keep playing them when I should be devoting time to all these newer titles I have installed.

That's what is say to my mom....she always asks what i want for x-mas and i say...more time is all i want.
@Martok...for me it's even worse....i have plenty of old games which i do not revisit but are in fact "new games" for me because i never had time to actually play them.

my first C64 game, the birth of a straegy addict and i didnt even know it back then
I read the guy who wrote it passed away recently and i think its his son whos finishing the game off for the iPad
I must have about 100, with probably 50 of them being wargames from Matrix! I spend most of my time in game choice paralysis perusing various forums and RSS feeds - and the rest of my time buying and installing new games. I think it's a disease.
I keep all of my digitally bought games on my hard drives. Just in case at some point the service discontinues or I need it and have internet problems, etc.
I have time, I'm retired. And what do I do with it? Spend way too much of it cruising Grogheads. This is all your fault for being too entertaining. ::)
As the least interesting guy here I feel no need to apologize.
See what I mean? ;)

I thought I had about 20 games, but I counted more than that without looking too hard so my guess is 25-45, most of which I had
forgotten.
Steam and Matrix are the sources for most of them.
I understand addiction pretty well and I got it bad. I love to play with my toys but I swear the
endorphin rush is from reading about them, choosing one, heaving a sigh of frustrated relief,
buying it, downloading and looking for another. Like girls but cheaper and not as awesome
and annoying. You can shut off games when you just want to meditate and watch midget pr0n.
Or pretend to be a ringmaster at a Bulgarian circus or whatever.

How does working night make you cool? I know you naturally get chilly around 2am
but guys who make donuts work at night (after they get out of prison).
^I wish I made donuts for a living.
Before or after incarceration? I did a count and I am 400-500 games.

I don't know how to explain it; it just does.
I never want to be incarcerated. I would not survive.
The office where I spent most of working life was 24/7 so I worked
a lot of nights. Therefore I am inexplicably cool. I shall inform my
children who think I am republican or something.

i used to do a shift of 6pm til 4am - there is something cool about finishing at that time and everyone is in bed - not for me the world of traffic, queues and congestion, plus i could shit in your garden and you would never know - a bit like a badger

Wasn't it you Gus who said he wanted to live in some place like Montana?
Dunkin' is going to be opening up that state soon and there you also have
a wide choice of militias to choose from in virtually any flavour you like.
We used to always go to Montana to buy guns since it was just about
a six-pack down the road from where I lived and the people never asked
embarrassing questions and usually had a sign on the wall that showed which
border crossing points were unmanned at what time. "You boys would be
wantin' to cross at Whitlash with that stuff, prolly after nine tonite." They
would smile helpfully as we cashed out. Goddam Homoland security ruined all that.

Montana sounds great but I'll stay away from non-state supported militias. Maybe I can start a Dunkin' Donuts militia. Any militia (or corporation for that matter) that counts on people eating whatever the hell they want whenever they want will always do well.
I would probably gain 50 pounds myself and then would have no choice but to join one of those other militias.
You would fit in then, yup. 50 pounds and a manly swagger.
You would have to do something about diction and grammar.
Wait til they show you how they make the donut holes.
I had a buddy once who could carry half a dozen donuts at once....no hands!!
Eight if there was a girl or friendly dog around.

Are you kidding me? You're about a thousand times safer in Montana or Wyoming than NYC.
There are enemies everywhere LB.
Of course Montana is safer...look at all them armed folks
keepin' things nice and orderly. Sheeyit you cain't buy a
pickup truck without it havin' an Easy Rider Rifle Rack on it!
When my buddy ran the border back into Alberta years back
it was the US customs guys what shot him, not the wimpy Canadians!!
They dint even have guns!! Freakin' poofters.
