toxicTom: Of course many here have a lot of games (me, about 1.200 in total, most still on disk), but we also have huge backlogs. On the other hand we also have played a lot of games that we don't have anymore - maybe they were borrowed from a friend or rented from a video story or sold with the old machine or from the "good old days of Arrrr".
So I started to make a list of all the games I can remember to have played through the years, starting with the Atari 2600 of my uncle and the
PolyPlay in 1986. I had to browse Mobygames and a few other sources for the last 250 games or so - to get inspired or sometimes just to remember the titles.
My current count is 895, with the name of one game (from the C16/Plus4) still eluding me. How many have you played?
Far too many to count. I mean I literally have thousands of games as I am a collector. Recently been fleshing out my PS3/XB360 collections as they have all moved onto the new model. Got something in the region of 3-400 of those. Then marching back through time, to Spectrum snapshots (yes, quite are now no longer physical). And have played so many of them. I could probably get some stats from the 15 or so spreadsheets I have, but that wouldn't scratch the surface. I am currently going through and putting everything into a database as I have decided to jetison a lot of the collection, I mean there is no point keeping PC games which only contain steam client or have drm when I have them on the console. Big task though. As for my first, it was a console with a switch you could twist left and right and played pong, forget now what it was called, although it was so far back it was probably in Bakelite :o)
