If the current financial crunch doesn't get any better, it'll be two NES manuals, an Atari 2600 cart and the box from Guitar Hero III.
Otherwise, I have no clue what it'll look like. I have no plans of quitting, but the idea of my collection growing at it's current rate up to my 50th birthday sort of freaks me out. My wife may come to her senses and decide I need a new hobby, I may have kids, who knows? There are too many variables to think THAT far ahead.
But if I had to hazard a guess...? Couple thousand games. Might have a PS3 by then. Might have found a Wii by then...since we're talking four or five generations of hardware if they continue at their current rate.
It has taken me 20 years of collecting to get where I am now, so I would say it will prolly be about double what it is now which would put me at about... 2,200 or so....

LOL.
Yeah, 20 years from now who knows where I'll be living or the state of technology (or the cost of electricity). Maybe by then I'll have digitized the entire collection and play it on a portable with a big-ass projector built in. Who knows.
If everything is pretty much the same (with generations coming every 5-6 years) then I'll probably have 4-7 times the size of collection I have now and my game room will have taken over the entire 2nd building of my planned house.
I can't even comprehend what anything will be like in 20 years.
Although I can't see my collection ever reaching astronomical proportions. Already I'm spending more time and money on sensible mature adult type things and less on the things I love. Which is sad. Throw in the current financial climate and I'm buggered. I'll end up with an 85 year mortgage.
Or maybe the world will melt down and turn into a place where money is useless and physical property is everything. In that case I'd better start stockpiling sports games to barter for essentials (food) and a few rare RPGs for luxuries (soft toilet paper).
I'm not even 20 yet, still 4 years away! And in my life I must have owned at one piint or another 500 games. So I dunno, I would like to have thought I'd have every single N64 game by then and possibly moved onto another console.
I will be in my 50s, still enjoying video games, old and new.
I'll probably have at least a couple thousand games. I can envision an entire library of games, lining several walls of a gameroom or media library.
Microscopic organisms that live in dust will have consumed a lot of the plastic game case covers, adding considerable wear to the games even as they sit on a shelf, necessitating new game cases for many of the games I have now. All media in paper boxes will look considerably more worn, even from just sitting on a shelf.
Well, Umm... It hopefully will grow a lot when I finish college in the future and get a job, but I'm future I'll stop, I'll probably have it as a hobby where I just buy games you kill time, but I feel like I'm gonna stop collecting..actually I'm not really collecting right now really, I just buy games I like keep them safe and I play them...so I don't know.
when im 45, ill prolly have about 400 games...my collection might be more, but with the way games are being priced, i can't afford to spend 2 much money on new games...ill prolly have a snes/genesis/n64 collection by then
