How many PC games do you have installed?

[Knightshade Dragon]

How many PC games do you have installed on your PC at any one time?  I keep a few gems on my system at all times, but here is what I currently have installed:

1.) Starcraft and expansion
2.) Battlefield 2
3.) ER
4.) Thief 1, 2, 3
5.) Guild Wars (being uninstalled)
6.) World of Warcraft (being uninstaled)
7.) Vampire: The Masquerade (being uninstalled)

(wanna guess who is prepping for a format?)

[Eco-Logic]

I only have HL2 (including CS:S of course) and BF2 installed at the moment.

[Ragnarok]

I finally got a new hard drive to boost my meager 40G to 120 so I can now actually fit more than 3 or 4 games.

Currently:

RTW
DoW
Dungeon Lords
Chronicles of Riddick
HL2
SW:Republic Commando
Farcry
Armed and Dangerous
NWN Platinum
UT2K4
GTA:VC
BFME
Max Payne 1@2

I'm actually playing all of these though time is devoted to some more than others.  I still have more to install.  Its nice to have large selection ready to play for whatever you feel like.

[Cyjon]

Having a bigger hard drive is kind of like moving to a bigger apartment. You don't actually have more room, you just collect more crap.  My currently installed games:

Anarchy Online
Arcanum
City of Heroes
Divine Divinity
Evil Genius
Fallout 2
Ghost Recon
Hearts of Iron
Hearts of Iron 2
Morrowind
NASCAR 2002
Neverwinter Nights
Railroad Tycoon 3
RavenShield
Republic
Riddick EFBB
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Silent Storm
Splinter Cell 3 Demo
SWAT 4 Single Player Demo
The Sims 2 (plus University)
Thief 2
Torment
Tropico 2
UT 2004
Victoria

I keep meaning to uninstall the ones I'm not playing (you know, like 80% of them) but I never get around to it. A perfect example is Republic. I installed that February 2004, played for about an hour, got bored, have never touched it since. I think it's safe to assume that I'm not going to get back to it, so I should take the thirty seconds to uninstall.

[Jon Edwards]

[EddieA]

About 110 total.  If you count just games made in the last few years, about 70.  I have 160 GB total, almost full, and all but whatever Windows takes up and 16 GB of music is devoted to games.   Needless to say, I jump around between different games a lot

[whiteboyskim]

Trying to think about this off the top of my head:

UT2K4 + God knows how many GB worth of map packs and add-ons
Curse of Monkey Island
Escape from Monkey Island
Grim Fandango (note the theme)
Star Wars: Rebellion
Far Cry
Siberia
Max Payne 1 & 2

I've a few more installed but I'm drawing a blank on them.

EDIT: Now that I'm home let me add the following:

Dungeon Keeper 2
Evil Genius

[Laner]

Geez KD... based on those poll choices, you're selling us short  I'd assume most serious PC gamers have lots of games installed at any one time.  I know there was a similar thread on GG way back when, and many people had dozens of games installed.  At one point I had over 100 (a lot of older, smaller games), but since I rebuilt my PC, it's closer to 20 now.  But I've got a whole 250GB dedicated for games (and emulators and patches), so I can definitely install many more before feeling pinched.

[disarm]

my list is currently sitting at 30 (not counting expansions) and takes up 70.8GB...

Call of Duty
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Divine Divinity
Doom 3
Doom 3 - Resurrection of Evil
Grand Theft Auto III
GTA: Vice City
GTA: San Andreas
Guild Wars
Half-Life 2
Halo
Knights of the Old Republic
KotoR II: The Sith Lords
Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
Neverwinter Nights (with both expansions)
Planescape: Torment
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

SC: Chaos Theory
Morrowind (with Tribunal and Bloodmoon)

thanks to a 160GB HD, i've not bothered with uninstalling any games since i built my new system in december 2004.  KOTOR was the first game played on my new rig, so it's been there the longest...GTA:San Andreas is my most recent addition at about 3 weeks old

[mikeg]

4 or 5.  BF2 is about the only one getting any love though.

[warning]

Well currently I have:
Arcanum
Dungeon Siege
Everquest II
Gothic II
Guild Wars
Midnight Club II
Rise of Nations
SW: KOTOR
UT2004
Half-Life 2
XIII
(bunches of emulators, etc)

That's pretty tame for me.  I just reformatted and reinstalled 2 weeks ago!

[Shifter]

Guild Wars
Star Wars Galaxies
GTA: SA
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

I just reformatted a few weeks ago, I still have to get Warcraft III and UT2k4 on there.

[Qbe]

Since I added a new drive in February I have more space than ever.  But I've been mostly out of PC gaming for the last few years, so I have fewer games than ever:

Baldur's Gate
Civ III
Slime Forest
Might & Magic VI
Ultima VII
Ultima IX
Divine Divinity

[DamageInc]

Battlefield 2 and a Beta MMO I can't mention.(NDA)

Soon to add Dungeon Siege 2

I try various demos as they come out, but then uninstall them after playing them once through.

[Beer Goggles]

Anyone with less than 10 is an amateur.

[Lockdown]

Currently:

1.  Rome:Total War
2.  WoW
3.  EQ2
4.  UT2k4
5.  Age of Wonders Shadow Magic
6.  Battlefield 2
7.  Warhammer: DoW
8.  Homeworld 2
9.  Rainbow 6 and expansion

The bold is what I play semi-regularly.  Everything else, I need to play more.   :wink:

[Destructor]

I have exactly one game installed, as I just reformatted my main gaming PC, and got my laptop back from the shop after a lengthy 'get the damn thing fixed' issue with Gateway.

Unless you call the ton of music I have on my laptop games.

[phormio]

Anyone with less than 10 is an amateur.

Absolutely!

I'm too lazy to list eveything on my machine, but at any given time there are probably 18-24 games on my HD (plus several demos). I tend to leave things there until I trade, sell, or give them away. I defrag regularly (Diskeeper),  and I do sometimes uninstall some dead-wood. But otherwise, I let'm ride.

[Knightshade Dragon]

amateur

Yow....you guys put me to shame.

[Semaj]

Um....
EWR 4.2 (extreme warfare revenge)
Political Machine
Fate
Football Manager 2005
Worlds or Warcraft... although I cancelled my account like 4 months ago, I just havent had the heart to uninstall it.

[unbreakable]

I dont keep games on my HD very long.  Im a minimalist, so the more free HD space the better, and the fewer applications installed the better.

More Apps = larger Windows Registry = more memory used to store the Registry = slower bootup and performance.

Plus I need more room for my growing pr0n collection.

Roger that on all three statements.

[Calvin]

I think I still win I just installed two more

MUST COLLECT THEM ALL!!

[Qbert]

I had more, but I reinstalled my os.  This also doesn't include any demo I installed, like BF2, and others.

I also have a HUGH backlog of games I bought.  Hugh...obscene.  A few months back, EB threw a sale where used pc games was costing like pennies.

[Canuck]

Silent Hunter 3 and Pro Evolution 4.

PE4 I just installed today so before that I only had one

This is a new computer though so that's partly the reason.  But at the same time I try to keep the fewest number of games on my comp as possible.  Don't you find that the more games you have the less time you actually  spend playing them?  It takes so much effort to have so much choice so in the end you end up playng nothing and watching a movie instead.

[Calvin]

Just installed Doom3 expansion Rise of Evil and a couple other dumb games

I seriously need a new hard drive!
