How many games have you bought?

[GenghisK]

Just wondering. I have bought more than a hundred of games.
Some of them were sold with a magazine, but I bought most of them in the classic box. I could remember my dad was mad because there was no more room to put those boxes in my bedroom
Actually I bought all the blizzard and lucasart games, plus several budget games, mainly RTS and strategy and RPG. Surprising isn't it?

Depends what you class as a game...

I had a collection of several hundred for my Amstrad which I had from age 4 1/2 till I was 11 and then I got a PC.

Well over 100 games for my PC...


Board games...yeah I have quite a few of those too!

I have purchased all the Blizzard games plus a few other games that have caught my attention. No where near as many as GK though. I also throw the boxes away which makes it hard to determine right away how many I have. (and also loses CD Keys if I am not careful!!)

I was also in Kuwait,.....and getting games over there was really cheap and easy.

I don't play a lot of games but the games I play are often abandonware or freeware games. In my whole life I have not bought more than three games I'm afraid.....
It was really terrible when my dad bought our first computer it was in a project in which the whole office could buy a computer at a huge discount. There was an enormous trade in illegal copied games, of course we didn't participate in this.......

Well, I have bought a grand total of only one game in my entire life - Civ3. All of my gazillions of games are fr.... eh, alternative sources. Never sure how a new game's going to turn out, so why take the risk and pay more?

Yeah, right.

I hope you purchase the games that you get for free that you find of value! I also test out the waters but I do buy the games that I end up playing a lot. I look at it as an extended demo. I know that there are some programmers that might be mad about this but I do buy programs also, so if it is a quality program that I use regularly I do pay money.
Programs i need to buy:
PSP, Trillian (donate), Jedi Outcast, and not very many more as I have bought several. I don't use shareware serial number cracks as I feel if I am goign to use the product for free at least I can deal with the annoying parts of it where it asks for money. I should probably buy either Winace, WinRAR, and/or WinZip also.

I would say I have borught around 30 games although most were not full price. Another 5 or 6 games were from alternate sources. Although it depends whether you count old games and new games that you cannot buy...

I probably have too many games. I have a 4ft high cd holder full of games and also a draw nearly to the brim with games. I also have some games that I borrowed from friends and 'fixed.' I love the google search engine

One problem here is we're quite a backwater and games take longer to arrive than Stateside or in less than needed quantities. I still remember that time, when Diablo2 was out and I hunted around town for eons with no success in trying to get a copy, so......

Well, I did buy Civ3 which I play now-and-then. Not really into that much gaming nowadays, as compared with my uni days. In those days, I played till daybreak. Esp Civ2.

Besides, on a purchasing power comparison, games here are expensive compared with Stateside.

This just means that you could buy every other game that you enjoyed instead of buying all the games that you enjoy. At least then you would still be partially paying for games...

Aaah another game I bought for cheap price. An old one. Shogo M.A.D (mobile armor division) a Gundam Wing like game

I haven't ever purchased a game for this computer, and do not intend to.

For my old IBM PS2, I bought Pool of Radience, the Krynn Series in a boxed set, and Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures. I got Curse of the Azure Bonds off a bloke at school sometime in 94, Secret of the Silver Blades sometime in 93, and Pools of Darkness in 94. I got Colonization in 95, I believe, and the original Civ in 92. I had some other games a friend gave me in 92, but they got wiped for space, except for Lemmings. Got Warlords and Vampyr: Talisman of Invocation on disk.

Now got Vampyr, Catacomb and Centurion Guardian of Rome on this new computer...somehow.

The only game(s) I think I will ever buy again will be the Gold Box/AD&D series on CD. This leaves out that Civ3 nonsense of course, and all those other newfangled things.

I have about 30 for the PC, 20 for the Mac (a dozen old Atari ones, but that toy died. and about 8 cartons of board games & RPG stuff. I'm in the market for a usable AH Titan game -- first and only tabletop board game that I've worn out from hours of play.
