I love having lots of choices.



I can't sum up the reason why I hang on to games better than you have already said BeaSong! yay

This is a funny question. Like books or DVDs (or even VHS tapes!) there are certain games I always keep and others I get rid of. "Discworld Noir" always remains part of my collection, as does "Zork Grand Inquisitor" and "Longest Journey." I also keep "Outcast", "Mafia" and "Vampire: Bloodlines" in my drawer. I haven't played any of those games in years, but I like having them there. Don't ask me why.

I have 3 separate binders for all of my games. (I think I have about a hundred now)

One is for games that I will NEVER get rid of. One is for games I'd only get rid of for a really good deal. The last one is for games that I'd be willing to trade or sell.

I do replay games all the time as I re-read books over and over also.

I have a hard time getting rid of games in the first time simply because I worry that I'll want to play them again and be out of luck. I've done that with Paradise, wish I still had that one.

I used to keep all my played games. I just couldn't give them up. Recently, I have been trying to get rid of the clutter in my house. I donated all my old games to the local public library. They are put to good use and if I ever get the urge to replay one, I with just withdraw it from the library. They also have many games that I have not played. Kay
PS I believe it is also a tax deduction.

Oooo, Looney, I'm pleased to see that I am not alone...I just CAN'T get rid of any of my games, they are part of me. grin
I well remember before I joined Gameboomers and discovered just how many games there were out there and also the delights of on-line shopping, how difficult it was getting hold of new games to play, there didn't seem to be that many adventure games about and I used to haunt our local 'Game' store here in England waiting patiently for a new game to be released. duh

So...in answer to your question, I reckon it's 'FEAR' that makes me hang on to them all. Fear that I will be left with nothing to play. rotfl
And who knows?...when I eventually do aquire grandchildren, maybe I can inspire another generation to love the games I get so much pleasure out of...by the time that happens I will probably be able to teach them the entire history of adventure games. lol
