Its a luxury problem. You have all these great games(or roms if you will) but simply not the time to play it all. Sound familiar?

I have save files for so many games that I don't want to delete...yet some games I haven't played in months because a new, better looking game came along (ie..download was finished) and I started playing that instead. Eventually i would catch up, in theory, if I just stopped downloading for a while. But since I have enough empty DVDs, I figure what the heck..

just make a list of all the games you want and download them afther you have played some other games and lost interest in them.

I don't have that much games, but I only play one or two games at a time, or else I will forget what the other games are about.

I know what you mean guy. I find it kind of ironic that i have a chip and so many ps2 games yet i play less than i probably I would have if i didnt pirate any games and got my games fairly. I think one of the reasons is i really dont get to appreciate a game as much if i pirate them. I still have my Need for speed hot pursuit 2 file saved on memory card and i havent played in like 2 years. hell, i even have some games that i burned and never even put in my ps2 to test yet. Moral of the story: dont bite more than you can chew.

well, hopefully nextgen ill stop pirating...

yeah I have the exact same thing. If you buy games in the store, you won't usually buy them a dozen at a time..but if its a free download its too tempting.

I know exactly what your going through...  my solution?

I stopped pirating consoles.  GBA and MAME is all I do now.  I'll actually spend time looking at the games and deciding what to buy/rent.

Renting is the way to go.  You spend little money and have the drive to play the game before having to take it back.  I actually started finishing games when I did this.  Before, download... burn... test... then throw it to a friend.  I never played a burned game after the test phase.

GBA and MAME seems to work well though.  The games don't last that long.

what happened in your town?

If I would buy a game it would be one of the final fantasy games because for some reason I just want to have the real thing

I only download GBA roms, but I have stopped quite some time ago because I thought the new games are less innovative and appealing. And even so, there are a few old games I want to finish playing. So instead of getting new games all the time, I just go back and finish the old ones first.

If you have too many games, you've probably downloaded too much.

I know what you mean... I wanna play too many games in short time and I end up playing nothing. BIG problem.

Damn yeah i have a real problem with my ROMs. I just have too many than i can play. I've tried to play every GBA game i've downloaded (let alone every ROM), i actually want to make a final collection of reviews for every single GBA game ever made. But it's starting not to seem like a reality.

Current GBA ROMs being played: 67
Amount of ROMS owned: 117

lol, so as you can see i have lots of problems. I've played every game i have just i want to finish every single game i have, and it's taking me forever. I think the best advice to take is just pick out the games you like, or try out different games, if you enjoy playing them then keep playing them, if you don't enjoy them, stop playing. Simple as that. That's where i've gone wrong.

(hopefully in heaven they'll freeze time so you can catch up, play every single game ever made, lol)
