About 11 including about 3/4 expansions. Kicking myself now for only partitioning 60 of 80Gb for my 'game'n'stuff'. That and cheaping out on an 80Gb hard drive when something double was like $20 more... I thought I'd never use it all.

I have all of the original CDs and DVDs in a huge 320 CD/DVD case. Here's a photo I just took of it. All original CDs and DVDs. I don't pirate AT ALL. I keep them all alphabetically ordered in there so I can find them easily. When I get a new one it's a pain to reorganize them, but it's worth it to find the one I want to play. I don't use no-cd/dvd executables. The case is almost full. I have 20 sleeves left.

He's running it on a 500GB RAID-0 array so I am going to guess less than 500GB :p

Something really interesting...all those games but missing some popular ones:
1) Only one Need for Speed title
2) No EA Sports titles
3) No love for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
4) The Sims/The Sims 2

I'm sure there are more surprises in there.

*GASP* You have Halo 2! :p

All games are installed under C:\Games\ on my 500GB array. The directory is 260GB.

I have 2 other NFS games. NFS 3 and NFS High Stakes. They don't work well in Vista.

Don't care for sports games on the PC.

I may pick up GTA:SA later.

I picked up The Sims right after it was released in 1999. That was way before it got stupidly popular. I don't own or want to own The Sims 2.

not counting games that game with vista (of which I only play Chess), I've only got 3 games that I went out of my way to install... World of Warcraft/TBC, The Sims 2 (+xpacs), and Oblivion (no expansion because I still haven't cleared the first game /qq)

Roboball, WW2 Tank Commander, a crapload of SNES games (currently playing Dungeon Master on my X1900XTX :laugh:).

Bough Oblivion over a year ago, think I'll install it when I come back from holidays, along with Forgotten Battles and Pacific Fighters. Been busy accumulating mods since the initial release.

I recently bought a few new games and purchased a bunch of older games from Amazon. I also discovered the wonderful joys of using DOSBox.

Edit: If any moderators read this, you can move it to PC Games now.
