I feel another attack coming on! What is the highest number of unplayed games you feel you should have? Do you try to limit BAAGing or is the sky the limit? Do you keep all the games after you play them? I just counted my unplayed ones-I have 6 older games that probably don't play on XP. 10 newer ones that I havn't got around to playing. I have around 20 that I'm keeping(who knows if I'll ever get to replay them but can't seem to part with.)The rest I have sold on Amazon or am trying to sell. I would consider myself in the mid-range of the BAAGing syndrome. How about you?

I don't sell ANY of my games unless I have exact duplicates of the game. I'm an avid collector - right now my passion is to get boxed versions of the jc versions I have. Can't say I have any "old" games, that I haven't played, but a lot i would like to replay Of newers ones I think I only have 1 and waiting for a second to arrive. Although I would love if I had 100, lol. I really don't know how many games I have - too many to count

I have at least 3 games loaded on my PC...Out of those three they are still not finished....I like to take my time playing... I have several on pre-order...I have 5 games still not played.. I never sell games ..I only trade them for others I haven't got.. Alot of the older games I had...I either give them away or they just sit on the shelf...I do have about 20 I will never trade..

I have 40 unplayed games, keep all of them, and also buy for the DS, Wii and Playstation 3, and play the casual games too. I guess the is no limit on BAAGing as long as there are games to be played.

What is the highest number of unplayed games you feel you should have? No limit on number. Why should there be? I'll get around to playing them eventually. With adventure games, if you don't buy them when you see them, you risk never seeing them again -- at least not for an affordable price. Just try to find a new copy of Ankh 2. It's harder than finding Ankh 1. I don't limit myself based on number. I might limit myself based on what I think the quality of the game is, and whether I think I'll enjoy the game or not.

One entire file cabinet will have to be enough because I don't have room for any more. Three drawers are full of games and one drawer just for the walkthroughs and my notes. Of course, that doesn't include the 100 casual games I have downloaded on my computer. I have a serious addiction problem but it doesn't seem to be affecting my health. In fact, I find it relieves stress to play computer games.

Yep, I agree - no such thing as limit and baaging. Especially now I have an extra room after my eldest daughter moved out 670 boxed games according to the excel spreadhseet, and I reckon at least half of those are unplayed. Many will never be; the DOS Infocom games and their like for instance will probably just be admired for their goodies and packaging.
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Oh man flotsam - I would LOVE to rummage through your old boxed games and maybe slip a few in my bag, before I leave, You wouldn't happen to have Orion Burger, now would you?

A BAAGER knows no limits! I'm a level 7 myself. Pretty much says it all. I have a ton of games sitting around that I haven't gotten to playing yet. Some of the ones that have been played have gone back on the shelf because I was too frustrated to finish them. I just keep telling myself I'll play the game again "one of these days."
