I got so excited today, I found a copy of Arcana Heart at the Game Crazy closing down nearby. I bought it, got home, went to put it away and found another copy of Arcana Heart there already.

This isn't the first time this has happened. I bought Chip n Dale's Rescue Rangers twice in one month last year. It was on my list of games to get for a while, and I found it for an ok price at a store nearby. I picked it up, it was one of my last of my "must have" NES games. Found it in another store a few weeks later for an ok price again.

I am sure some of you have similar stories, let's hear them.

I have bought only one double and I blame my wife.

I've bought a couple of NES lots to get a few games and have some NES games that, other than playing to test working, haven't done a damn thing with. Well, my wife wanted to try this game DeadlyTowers (terrible game) asking if I had it (was dirt cheap). Didn't think we did, she bought it, got home... BAM! Copy #2. I have a LOT games and in my ENTIRE TIME, I haven't purchased ONE SINGLE double. And she does. Ugh.

What a shit game.

Various family members have given me Sonic Rush for my birthday every year since the game came out.

Accidentally bought two KOF '95's for NGCD. It's a common one, so no biggie. Sometimes you buy games you already own when there's a lot for sale, and you just resell the ones you don't want to keep. This was not one of those purchases.

I had the US and Japanese Arcana Heart for a bit then I ditched the US Version not knowing it was the better of the 2 no matter though Arcana Heart sucked

I once farted, then five minutes later farted again and they both smelt the same, does that count?

When I was at the Too Many Games convention this past May, I accidentally bought two copies of 8 Eyes for NES. Kind of funny because my brother was like, "so, instead of 8 Eyes, you decided to get 16 Eyes?"

I have so few games and know what I own, so no, this never happens.

ahaha @ people with '1500-2000' game collections.

damn nerds.

Chain, you should get this software that I bought. It's called Game Collector and is available on Collectorz.com . It allows you to easily document your game collection and either print it in list form or better yet, open it in an Iphone app that they have. Ever since I have gotten it, I have yet to accidentally buy a dup. Also, if you don't have an Iphone, you can easily just export it to a text file or even a pdf if you have adobe directly to any other smart phone. It's really great for people like me who have over a thousand games.

:lolz:

Maybe if you played what you have, you wouldn't buy duplicates so much because you'd remember what you owned.

Yeah, some people are even nerdier. Seriously. Games collecting is dumb as fuck.

I got rid of a lot of my games last year. I know off the top of my head what I have and what I don't have, so this never happens.

This has never happened to me either, even when I was at the point where I was "collecting" more than I was playing.
