Random poster in a thread about games: "Please tell me you've played more than a hundred games in your life. Think about it. A hundred. Should seem like a small number, compared to probably over a million games out there"
Interesting question. How many games HAVE I played? For the purposes of this question, let's say games you've played for a minimum of one hour. Beyond that, the definition is up to you (arcade, phone, flash, console, PC, whatever).
How many games are in your Steam/GoG libraries today?
I'm going to work on a more accurate count, but my GoG/Steam libraries have about 150 games, and I have certainly not played all of those. I would guess my bodycount is between 300 and 400, spanning from the late 80s to today, with a greatly diminished count in the last ten years.
What's yours?
I have easily played over 1000. If you reduce the time requirement to ~5 minutes, then I've probably tried over 10,000 games. On steam I have played 385 games - 162 completed, the rest dropped due to being bad/meh - this is not counting multiplayer games. I own over 500 physical cartridge and disc games. I have tried a good chunk of the MAME catalog. Back in the day I'd play a new DOS shareware game every week, go to a friends house to try new games, rent a new game every other week. Then you get into PSX demo discs and flash games, it's an uncountable number of titles.
