I'd like to remind you of this article. Most notably:

How often have you seen a large collection of books and thought better of the collector? And while not quite as imposing as their paper-bound brethren, a huge collection of movies or music is perfectly reasonable, but not games?

I think holding on to anything "just for in case" constitutes hoarding of sorts. You might dress it up as being a "collector", but you still give into your hoarding tendencies.

I've made the decision to get rid of most of the stuff I'm not actively using, except the stuff I know I'll be able to sell for a pretty penny in the future. It all just collects dust and takes up space for things you really need to store.

Our house is surprisingly lean these days. Few pictures and portraits on the walls, only strategically placed ornaments, baskets or flowers and no loose carpets. After our solar-pump-bursting incident, we decided to not replace most of the things we lost, even getting rid of old clothing, shoes and linen that we haven't used in a year or two.

I have a lot saved in storage and the ones worth showing off is standing proudly around my room. Somewhere i still have the original duke nukem box. And i even have test drive on floppy along with prince of persia. :p

Duke Nukem haha. I recall reading the manual and discovering they put the cheat codes IN there....thats not cheating then if the devs are that blunt about it hehehe.

Oldest physical box I have is Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender...10+ Floppy disks which at one point all got corrupted...thankfully its now on steam and i think was free :)
