It's only too large when there either isn't enough space, or it's a huge pain to sift through all of them. Neither of those possibilities seems likely to happen to me, though.
I don't really think that it's possible to have too many games, although having a lot could be a sign of an unhealthy obsession.
If your collection of games was enough that it could sink the state of California into the Pacific Ocean....then you MIGHT have too many games.
Why would you want to limit the amount of games you have in your library? That would be like limiting the amount of oxygen you can have per day, so to speak.
I think it's too much if you're cutting our money for things like food or rent to keep adding to the library...
I got tons of games, but I don't consider it as being too much. As long as they release games, I'm gonna have to buy the ones that are intresting!
Gotta assemble a new shelf for my games soon.

I've been buying games since 1989. I have never thrown a game away, nor have I ever sold one. I have to admit, many of my older ones are probably unreadable by now though.
I don't think it's possible to have too many games, so long as you have a place to store them.

You can never have too many games.
I went though a time where I bought a heck of a lot of games. So many that I wasn't finishing them. I built up quite a pile of shame (unfinished games) so i decided to stop buying new games until I finished most of my old ones. This worked for a little while but then there will always be new games to buy, so now i'm slowly ticking off the titles in my pile of shame when there isn't a new title that interests me.
I went a bit off topic there ... oh well

My game collection has grown bloated and overly large. I got into gaming just before the xbox popped into existence, and I have games from six different platforms all sitting around, taking up a massive amount of room. I would probably dump most of them on Ebay, but for the memories...
For me, a game collection can never be too large.Chibz said:
If I won the lottery tomorrow and I got a lump sum of let's say 25 million after taxes, after I payed off all my debts and bought a nice house, I would go on a game shopping spree. I'd by a new gaming laptop, and a desktop, and all the latest console and handheld stuff, and I would buy every game I have ever had my eyes on owning. Then buy a nicer car, stuff the rest of that money in the bank and make a few small investments, and have a very early retirement where I game and write novels.

It always comes down to the memories. Can't say I have ever consider selling anything.Bobbity said:
I even bought a third party console to play my NES games to keep the memories going.
