Do You...Collect?

I've got a fairly good collection of PS1 era JRPGs. Looking for the two SaGa Frontier games and Kartia, currently.
Only reason I collect from a particular source is because I legtimately like and play all of said games.
Define collect, cause I mean, I...have bought alot of games, and still buy lots of games. I do sometimes seek out old games I dont own and arent on some newer system. I certainly bought the original Dynasty Warriors (the fighting game) for the novelty of it and to say I have played it...even though it sucks.
Edit: Also own a T Rated Oblivion, but thats cause I got it on release.

Yes. I collect NES carts. My collection back in the West is somewhere near two-hundred-and-fifty-ish. And I have begun collecting Famicom and Super Famicom games as well. I own a Retron 5 and have my original NES system (with a new pin set I installed myself) and Famicom system.
On top of that, I still have every system I've even owned and all the games in storage, aside from the ones lent out and never returned (which, let's be real, is almost always the case). So I've lost a few good games over the years.

i didn't. but then my library at home started to get pretty big, then i started collecting a few of the games i missed out on as a kid that i wanted to play and own like Mario Party and Pokemon Stadium 2. then it got to the point earlier this year where i just went, ah fuck i'll just become a Nintendo collector. not a hardcore one, but i have got quite alot of Nintendo games now. most of them being from the Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS systems.
just recently this year i bought Mario 10 and 8 when i saw them on sale in EB. then i just went fuck it and also bought Mario Party 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, DS, island tour and star rush. i now own every single Mario Party game except for Mario Party Advance.

I used to be. Sadly when I moved last year most of the things I collected, my games, books, movie collection etc, simply wouldn't fit in my new place and so they had to go.
I suppose it depends on your definition of "collecting".
I have a lot of Halo stuff. I own all of the games (except Halo Wars 2, which is digital). I have a hard copy of every book up until The Thursday War, a couple of Soundtrack CDs, and a few action figures too.
Otherwise, I do have almost 500 games on Steam. I haven't been actively "collecting" them, but it did kind of happen naturally.

I don't so much 'collect' as 'refuse to let go.' Apart from the games I've had stolen, I've still got all the games I ever acquired, and can probably name on one hand the games I've sold.
It amounts to a fairly respectable collection going back to the NES generation, but only of the games I wanted enough to buy, basically.

No, I don't really collect games. My Steam library has grown quite a bit over the years (I jumped on when Half-Life 2 was released), but still nothing like the more impressive collections out there. I also don't buy bundles, mainly the games I intend to play, or at least try one day. I wait for sales a lot, and I also get pissed with myself if I paid good money for a game and never touched it. OTOH, I'm also paranoid about something happening to my account and me losing ownership of all said games, so I still buy physical media every now and then, sometimes second hand to get a bargain. I do keep a database of games I've finished though.
The only things I've collected in life are:
-GI Joe toys
-Punisher comics
-Coins from around the globe
-Die cast and model cars
Apart from the cars, everything else is gone.

Well, I own pretty much every major console from 4th to 7th gen, except the Saturn and Dreamcast, as well as several handhelds. I don't really 'collect' games for any of them tho, just games I want to play at some point, which does include some relatively valuable ones.
Nope. My collection has grown organically and out of control. Oldest tech I have is PS2 with some guitar hero stuff. Then gamecube, Wii, 360, PS3, Wii U, XB1, PS4 (none of the newest stuff like pro or S). And between Steam and Humblebundle, if I don't get to die without finishing all my games, I'll live forever.
Can't say I collect games, but I have at least one copy of every card in the fftcg. Dunno if that counts.
