Septerra Core. Damn it I've been trying to think of the name of that game for the longest time...

.... playing so many games has left him with the delusional thoughts that his wife in the Sims is real....

That is absolutely amazing. Seveth Guest.. I remember seeing that and having my jaw drop. And I remember another one.. phantasmagoria? Man those were the days.

Needless to say, it's not an easy task installing 365 games. I probably have over 200 hours total devoted to installing, patching, and getting the games to run right. All of that is over a 14 month period though. I started installing them since installing Vista x64 back in January of last year.

Do you back that up and if so how? One reason I haven't undertaken what you did is Im always tinkering and or upgrading so the thought of doing all those installs/patches and then losing it.....ouch

 

[EvilComputer92]

Did you get through all the CNC games as well?

 

[Genx87]

Hahaha that is crazy. How long did it take you to install all of them?

I barely have time to play the 3 games I am interested in right now(COD4, Medievil II, Rome:Total War).

Yup, don't get Medieval 2. That game saps your time....

I have a Seagate 750GB drive that I use to backup the Samsung 1TB drive. I use Acronis TrueImage to perform the backup. It's fast and works perfectly under Vista x64.

Thats a game a day for a year!

HellGate and EVE are my only games on my Vista Box. Do have the 64bit Ventrilo client. Won't let me use push to talk when I am inside a game though but I haven't read any threads on the dev's site on if that is a vista issue that I can fix. CBA on that since I don't game on vista often. Nice collection though I'll know who to talk to if I install my Dos version of Xcom and civilization on vista and also AvP.

 

[imported_Imp]

Well dang. Good luck when you have to defrag your drive or something goes wrong and if you have to re-install them all. Wish I had a HDD that big...

 

[*kjm]

I was thinking of doing the same thing... just waiting till I can get 2 750gb drives for $200
One for play one for backup!

 

[AdamK47]

Game #366 has been installed and #367 is on it's way from the UK.

Sure thing. I'll send you my shortcuts and .conf files to get X-Com and Civ 1 working.

At 4GHz with 4GB of RAM and an 8800GTX the games run great. No significant slowdowns in any of them. With DOSBox I limit the number of cycles to slow them down or else they run like their on crack.

 

[Zenoth]

AdamK47, do any of them require to be ran under Windows XP compatibility mode?

I'll probably get myself an LCD soon, and that means I'll finally be able to switch to Vista x64, so I wanted to know in advance.

 

[venkman]

You bought Diakanata? I guess John Romero made at least one person his b****.

Some, I can't remember off the top of my head which ones. It wasn't many.

Yeah yeah yeah. People like to point that one out the most. I also have Trespasser in there too.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

So you bought and installed all of these games over the last 14 months, or you already had a lot of them, and you just installed them?

Are you in the gaming industry, or is this just something you did for...fun?

No Peggle or Theme Hospital. Fail.

Although you do redeem yourself somewhat by the lack of any real sports titles.

Ken Levine will be happy to know that someone bought the Freedom Force games.

Dungeon Siege II was an abortion compared to the original.

I could ramble on like this for hours. Unfortunately, I have to get my teeth cleaned.

I had around 170 games before the 14 months. The rest I got within those 14 months.
Peggle? Theme Hospital? NEVER!
