100% I'm afraid. But I'm undergoing therapy. It's not working yet, but I SEE LIGHT !

Where I have multiple copies, I trade and sell. frown

I would say about 80% I keep and collect with boxes, some boxes I folded, some games never been opened yet,I have two boxes full of games, all my shelves are full, some I will trade, some I have trade reasons they didn't work on my computer, so couldn't say whether I like it or not, probably traded some good ones, but will never know...

But it's getting to the point, that there will be no more room to store all these games, and have to start selling, or trade, mostly more selling, I want to get rid of some not add more...

All told, I've bought 147 games over the past 4 years. I've sold or traded 19 of them - so about 13%. The ones I've got rid of are ones that are easy to find (such as the Nancy Drew games) or games I will never play again.

100% - if I have them I keep them. Even the bad ones. I have some duplicates - a few by accident others for possible trades down the road.

As for how many games - well I have a 1/4 of a ton plus wink

I have close to 150 games all adventures and have not traded away or intend to, just intend to keep adding to the collection. I've loaned games out but but never gotten rid of any except where I had a duplicate then I traded those away.

I have over 500 games... The only reason I am keeping the adventure games that I have is because I haven't gotten around to playing them yet. (and I probably never will get around to all of them)... but I gotta BAAG them anyways... Once I finish playing a game, I usually trade/sell it.

Well you're certainly not alone there. I don't think I've played half of what I own. And I still replay things.

Thanks for all the replies and all the wishes.

Sounds like a lot of us have a lot of shelves holding a lot of games!

Well, I keep the games that I intend to replay. All my other games that I'm keeping are on my GTZ list and I use them to trade for other games.

Peter, a hearty congratulations from a fellow Mac user in Texas!
As to your question, I keep a very small percentage of the games that I play on my PC but I do keep more of the games I play on my Mac. I use my selling of finished games to help finance my purchases of new games. thumbsup

I can't bear to part with them now, though I used to. I'm busy collecting & loaning them (or if I didn't care for them, giving them) to the kids or friends when I finish them. smile

You all make me feel very guiltless because I can baag away before I catch up to you. I only have about 30, but they increase almost every week. Several of them are still unplayed.

I'm running out of room & will have to start folding the boxes soon, but usually keep everything that came with them.

I'm with you, Glynn. Let the heirs play with my toys. lol

I usually keep the games I like, especially if someone else here might want to play or replay them sometime. Sometimes we play games as a family. On those occasions we know right away if its one to share or save. & Sometimes we send one to a friend we think might enjoy a game as much or more than we did. But most stay right here smile

This is easy.
I keep them all and replay most of them.
Heck I even have old Atari, Nintendo, Intellevision and Tandy stuff.

I keep all of my games. Must have 150-200 games. Some of the old ones were never finished, because there were no walkthroughs for them. Now with the internet I've been able to get walkthroughs for nearly all of them, so I do go back & play the old ones.

I keep them all. Though I'm afraid the game boxes are going to have to go soon in order to make room for my children.
