Geeze, in the binder? Probably about 75. In the archives, about another 75, then probably another 50 way too old to pay attention to, on floppies. I've been playing computer games as long as they have been around (literally!). I remember plugging casettes into the old TRS/80's and cartridges into TI99's.

Some of my favorites:

Hunt the Wumpus (If you know this one, you ARE old)
Ultima I / II / III / IV
Ultima Underworld I / II (absolutely amazing for the time!)
Castle Wolfenstein (the very original and the pre-doom FPS remake)
Bard's Tale I / II / III (I'd LOVE to see another iteration of this one!)
Wing Commander
Diablo
Mech Warrior II
WarCraft II
NFS: Porsche Unleased
Thief I / II (waiting for III!!)
Might and Magic IV
Civilization I / III
RailRoad Tycoon 2/3
Baldur's Gate
Jedi Knight II
Splinter Cell

I have a 200 CD case full of games. And a shelf full of games. I'd count them but uh, yea.... They go from Kings Quest 5 to Unreal Tournament 2K4 and everything inbetween.

I would list more if I had time, but I gotta go to class..

I used to own a lot more than I have, but EB had a sweet trade in deal that I couldnt pass up, so now I've got around 20... Now for console games, I'm up around 50 (my game rack is full)

About 200 or so of PC games in CDs. All of them are legits. About 20 to 30 old PC games in floppies, some of them are copies.
