I've got it bad... so far this year I've bought over 60 games (at least, probably a bit more than that), and two consoles. ... and I want like five more...
... "but how do you play them all?" Ah, simple! I don't! :D ... okay I'll play them a bit, but most of them just get put down to maybe play sometime. By now I justify it mostly by saying "I'm getting them as much just to HAVE them as I am to actually PLAY them".... which is a reasonable point, though when I don't have much money, have even less income, and keep buying piles of old games... well, I need more money. :D
Just within the last year...
July '05: SNES. I'm up to 35 games.
January '06: PSX. 29 games already... ack...
May '06: Genesis. 21 games now. Less money has been spent here than on the SNES or PSX though... cheaper console ($40 for the SNES with just a controller, $21 for Genesis with two games and a controller), and many cheaper games too.
... and now I'm interested in a Saturn (though that's probably not realistic), Dreamcast (just $40 for a console with controller, memory card, and a couple of games...), and PS2 ($85 for just console, controller, and memory card, or $100 for that with two games)... and I've only got like $400 at the moment, having spent upwards of $300 since getting home from college. Pawn shops and local gaming stores are a mixed blessing. On the one hand now I have all this cool stuff, but on the other hand... well look at all that money gone... :D (well some of that went to Gamestop and EB too, of course, but not nearly all...)
