I was just putting together a spreadsheet with all my games & info about them. I included a column for purchase / find date, and when I was done, I realized I've purchased at least one game every month since my first one in September! It's been a quick 6 months and I'm running low on space. At least all my games are keepers (for now :)).

What sort of frequency do you have for acquiring new games?
.
 
Mine is about 1 every 3 months... which puts me at about 4 per year that come into the home and about 1 - 2 which leave the home... so net I'm about 2 per year.
 
You picked up some great games too. I've been at it for a little over a year and have 5 games. So that would be about 1 game every 2.5 months. So I should be due for another game by April or May. :)
 
I'm only acquiring about 2 per year. Good machines don't come up for sale very often around here. I have passed on a few decent project cabs this winter though, just because I don't have any more room in my garage until I finish my current projects.
 
I am probably averaging 1 a month for 2-1/2 years. But of course lately I have been buying in bulk. :p
 
I got my first game a little over two years ago and now I have 19 games and a few boards. So a little less than one a month.
 
There is no way I am putting something like that down on paper. That would be extremely dangerous if my wife ever found it :eek:.

She hasn't found the Robocp in the dining room yet.....

Now that is funny!

I have no games in the living space of our house, but I have snuck them in the garage or basement and my wife has never seen it. That was a year ago. Now she just shakes her head. :rolleyes:
 
1.67 a month. Of course I have gone months without buying a game and then pick up a few in one month.
 
Gosh dang all you people have bad habbits! ...;)

Lets see now, I bought a game in..

December: Crazy Climber
January: Speed Buggy
February: Tetris and Star wars... :eek:!!!

Oh jeez, I've just joined the party :56:

I hear you Ken, I would have more if wifey did not have such a sharp eye. I have gotten 3 more downstairs in the last month after she said ENOUGH, and she has not noticed. I am now starting to put them in my 85 year old neighbor's garage. She likes me coming around and does not mind. I had 5 games up until about a year and a half ago and have bought about 22 games over the last 15 or so months- so a little over 1 a month. Still on my arcade-game evolution, but I don't have a separate rental space yet.....
