Are you a compulsive Hoarder?

[Harrison]

We are all big retro enthusiasts and fans on here. However have you ever thought about this..

Are you a compulsive hoarder?

Do you see hardware and software you used to own, or even worse wished you could afford to own at the time, and just have to buy it and own it again?

And in the extreme cases do you buy loads of retro gear but hardly ever use it? Just happy in the knowledge you finally own that special piece of hardware you longed for so much years ago?

Difficult to say, compulsive in getting every games (ROMs of course) existing possible and storing them , but not so much anymore with hardware, trying to get rid of it at the moment.

But I wouldn't go so far to say that it takes over my life. I spend some time collecting, but as I have most of the stuff, it's only updating and sorting, not that much time consuming. I would choose between compulsive and conservative, as I still want to own everything, ROM wise, meaning more than I intend to use.

Compulsive Hoarder but I'm working towards a Conservative Hoarder and to dedicate time to using All

I'm bloody terrible I've not played half the games I own apart from my amiga titles, I've been to Gamestation today and spent £100 on PS2, dreamcast, gamecube and PS1 games there currently 5 for £5 and 5 for £10 I know I won't play most of them but for the price I couldn't resist and they will sit on my shelves gathering dust but it just feels right.

Defo a hoarder.

I used to be a hoarder, but ending up selling a load of stuff on to get more money. Now I just hoard Amiga stuff and Amstrad CPC stuff.

I guess it depends on what type of a collector you are. I have one console where I am aiming for a full set the sega saturn only 10 games away. The other consoles I just buy the game I want to play. Some people collect sealed games which defeats the point of gaming.
