VG Collections
Post a pic and how many games you have:
Total current number: 550
This is the biggest collection I've seen on youtube (jump to 30 second mark to skip intro):
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kFwEft8cMbQ?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kFwEft8cMbQ?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Re: VG Collections
I have maybe 50. I used to hang on to games I thought I might play at some point in the future. Then I realized I am never going to play many of the games on older systems as there are just so many good games I haven't played on the 360 and I am hooked on Indie games and XBLA games, so I never really want to hook up the PS2 or gamecube.

Re: VG Collections
All my vintage stuff is in storage now, and as a result of realizing that I don't need any of it I've been slowly selling it all off. Loved having a collection, but there's just no sense in it anymore.

Re: VG Collections
I have totally fallen out of love with building a bookshelf with a collection (be it games, dvds, graphic novels, books, whatever), but I LOVE looking at the stuff other people have.
With that, I only have 3 games in my house right now. I think a picture would be a little less than impressive. But I look forward to seeing what other folks post.

Do you really play on that crappy old CRT? It's time for an upgrade dude... HDTV's aren't expensive, especially if you get one with a similar screen size as the one you have.

Re: VG Collections
I'm afraid to count. I have systems and games from Sega Master/Nintendo 8-bit all the way up to now with 360/Wii. (And just about everything inbetween). Maybe I'll get to pictures on a bored weekend or something.
(systems owned: Sega Master, Nintendo, Super NES, Sega Genesis, Turbo Duo, 3do, Sega Saturn, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and a GBA, if I had to guess # of games, I'd say probably close to 1000).

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Re: VG Collections
Four years ago I had 9 systems hooked up at once and about 300 games or so. I sold everything except the 360, Wii, and PS3 on craigslist/ebay. After downloading 4 games on the VC I had to have, I only have 17 games (which all are COD, Mario, or Harmonix except for TS4 and YDKJ).
I did not play the games/systems enough and though it was somewhat painful initially, it was the best decision.

Re: VG Collections
Yeah I tried to hook a ps2 up to my 37" lcd and it looked freaking terrible. Need a crt for those older systems.

Re: VG Collections
I still have my N64, original xbox, PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast systems all connected to my backup 720p projector. My generations older consoles are long gone though I still have some PS1 games laying around. I probably have around 200 games total. I trade many games in if I'm sure I'll never play them again.

Re: VG Collections
My Ps2 I have no trouble hooking it up to my 42" plasma and looking great. Now PS1 or older, sure. But as long as I have it hooked up with good cables, I didn't experience any issues. Same with the old Xbox. I have an old 27" crt for PS1 stuff and back, but the PS2 should be okay on a hidef tv.

Re: VG Collections
I'm at just shy off 200 titles right now. Gametz.com has been a great help in shaving down my collection. My personal goal is to have it down to about fifty must own titles. Long past is the time when I want to hold onto everything, even the mediocre stuff.

Re: VG Collections
I've got a decent chunk of games, but I'm not in any hurry to get rid of 'em. I just know I'll have a hankering to play some of 'em again, whether it be nostalgia or what have you.

Re: VG Collections
I put most of my stuff in storage so I'd have room at home.
I have most of the systems since the 16 bit days and have mutiples of them plus games. I stopped counting about 3 years ago.
