I keep a fairly high percentage, only disposing of games I found unplayable or unlikeable.
Interested in whether people tend to collect the games or trade on.

Hello Karen,
I'm getting married on Saturday so don't think I'll be allowed out so soon!
How's the Megapoints game going?
Kind regards, Peter.

 Congratulations!!! So we'll be hearing from you around Christmas time??? In answer to your question, I have kept all (probably around 50-60) except for Rhem and Cracking the Conspiracy. HATED those! I can't seem to part the others but I am getting to the point I need to. Ana

Hi Peter - gosh I'd forgotten it was that soon!! Love and best wishes to both of you.
In answer to your question, the megapoints programming is finished, now being playtested.
Love
Karen

Congratulations on the upcoming grand event  I just started gaming and plan to keep the ones I liked/enjoyed and trade away the rest---I tend to be a collector----after all, I never know when I mihgt want to replay it---  )

Congrats!!! As for your questions, I tend to keep any games that I finished and felt that I sorta liked... but given very limited shelving, I'm trying to get rid of them... that and I realise I barely have time to play new games, let alone replay old ones  I've been going through my GTZ collection's list almost on a daily basis trying to decide which ones I want to keep and which ones to make available for trade Each game that parts with me makes me wince...

Dawn your 32% makes my "fairly high percentage" feel rather vague!
Shelving is a limitation for what I can keep too - and may become more of a limitation in the days that lie ahead!

99.9%. When I find kids games, like Charlie Brown and the like, I will play them but after ward they go up for sale in my shop. All other games I keep.

I keep all of my games. I've got between70 and 80. Started to make a database for all my games, put down when I played them and other pertinent information. Along with like/dislike.

Hi I do tend to keep any games I enjoyed enough that I feel I would play them again some time - and to date I would say I have kept around 40% of all the games I have ever played  And that's quite a few  All the best for your BIG DAY on Saturday !!!!

I currently have 141 games (about 95 are adventures). I traded one because it wasn't a Mac game, and I've given away 4 or 5 duplicates I've acquired. Otherwise, I like holding onto my games. I have a wall unit with 24 CD drawers, and most of my games are in there. The boxes are broken down and put into files with notes, receipts, hints, etc.
Best wishes, Peter!
Wake me when it's spring.

I've played 134 games and have kept 49 of them so this is 36%. Even if I don't think I will replay the game I keep it if I really enjoyed it. Otherwise I trade it for something else. I also realized that I own 215 games that I haven't played. So maybe a better question is what percentage of games that you own have you played?
