If you would have read my OP, you would have noticed that Drivers Ed was sent to me as a review piece when I did that.

If you would have read the post from 4 earlier than yours, would would have learned that the organ is my wifes from when she was a little girl. I couldn't play an organ or piano to save my life.

ROFL Was it there, "stop" and "go"? Oh and the horn, "toot toot." Sounds hard.

You have not been in a locomotive before, have you? The steam engines espescially had all sorts of settings you had to be concerned of.

System Shock II but no Deus Ex? Pretty large collection though, I wish that I kept the boxes to all of my games.

Yep - I've got that.. in a jewel case somewhere.. I don't think I ever played it either though :( . I probably have another 20-30 JC games which I did not include in the "group pic"

More than likely blown on something else. Nothing you buy is really a good investment, drugs being at the low scale there, PC Games, eh a little higher maybe. :)


Hindsight being 20/20, I can think of a ton of things I wish I would have spent my money on other than PC games.

Think of all the beer/liquor you've paid for. Theres a poor investment. Actually, even worse, think of all the money you've spent on ex-girlfriends. Now thats a kicker.

How many is that? I estimated about 125.

Say $20 average price = $2500 :Q

i think i probably have more games than you, except i don't have many flight sims, not my cup of tea. i also threw away most of the boxes...

there are probably others here with even more games.

boy, we do spend too much over the years on games.

some of the sucky games that i wasted money on were ... congo, mortal kombat 3, i'm glad i never picked up daikatana.

About 120 games over 10 years, thats like 12 games a year, or 1 game a month. Average game is about 15 hours long, so thats like what two hours a day?
A lot of people on ATOT play 2 hours of videogames a day. I know if my good computer wasn't broken atm I certainly would be.

I see some future shop price tags! :p

I probably had 3/4 that. But the boxes take up way too much room, so they're all gone!

If you like FPS/RPG games like SS2, you'll :heart: Deus Ex. So how many games do you have total? About two-hundred or so?

most of them would go for $10-$15.

I meant what he paid for them originally. Maybe it would be more like $25 or $30 actually? I guess it depends on if he got most of these right when they came out or waited for them to come down a bit.
