I don’t think anybody has a problem with there being a lot of games, but how many is too many? In this discussion video I talk about the sheer number of games there are for retro gamers to consider, and how this impacts our collecting and game playing tendencies.

The real question is, are there too many bad games? There sure are!
Well I would say if there is too many games, people wouldn’t but them and the market in theory should correct itself
I mean if I don't buy all the copies of amiibo festival with the amiibos for $15 who the hell will
I wrote a list down just last week, told myself this is my definitive list to pick a game, and yet I still find myself playing sonic for 30 mins and then I turn off my genesis.
When you start collecting not only consoles but arcade cabs, THEN you may have to many games. Especially if space is tight.
Hey Bird…fun fact:
There IS a miracle sponge out there and, although ive never used it (nor ever would), someone dear to me did use it and it saved my life…MANY times. The Today Sponge. It just might save YOUR life!
im just trying to get good at as many good games as i can really
May the 4th by with you Bird
I laughed so hard at that sponge death bed joke, thanks for uploading
Don’t ever change your theme song.
Fixing to start play through paper Mario
So true dude I've been mostly ignoring newer games and mostly playing handheld games and even then there's still so much to keep up with
Kinda lost interest in ps3 and beyond with the whole battery issue 😛
I've thinned my collection right down and I still have too many and I'm two generations out of date.
Mind blown! 🙉 Truth … 🧽 Ah, and the sponges again … Where am I? 🌌 Enough smokin for one night 🐑💤
I usually cope by just try not to think about them, I might just watch a full playthrough and then I can feel satisfied like I've kind of experienced it, and I don't need to play it anymore. Or I'll tell myself if i buy every game I want for that, there's no way I'll have enough time or money to play them all.
I have considered getting into some obscure stuff like X68000, FM towns, and TurboCD but they all cost too much with massive libraries, I just don't even look into it.
Crappy games out bid the good…
One thing that turned me off was going to the video store and renting pitt fighter for seven bucks vs a lord of the wu tang clan film… We were stuck all week playing the goonies or wwf… God it was torture… Then renting the predator or leprechaun was better… I think i could make a better video game.. Or spend my money on some good ass weed.
I know there are games out there that I might enjoy but will probably never play, I deal with that by thinking that not discovering them means I get more time for the games I already have. I put effort into picking out games that I will like, so I know I already own a lot of games that are perfect for me. I'm new here, digging the retro vibes on this channel! Also I love birds lol
Guilty: I have more games than I could possibly play through before I die. Sad.
Yes. Especially when emulating 😅
I only emulate the expensive games and the games I don't have the consoles for.
Im sure when the retro bird is in his 70's he'll appreciate checking out wani wani world on the good ole mega drive
and that's why I am in no rush to get a PS5 or XSX
i am still going through my PS1 and PS2 JRPG backlog
currently playing Xenosaga Episode I on PS2 and Forza Motorsport 4 on Xbox 360
I don't care any longer, I just want to make my own games now.
