I don't own the actuall hardware, I added some them from my PS2 arcade compilations. so sue me you have no reason to call me out on anything because I am not calling you out on anything
Oof. Okay my apologies on that. You weren't lying through your teeth, you just have an oddly peculiar way of listing what you have.
It's not something I would do and I might be wrong but I doubt anyone else on here does that either. I certainly can't stop you from listing whatever/however you want but surely you have to realize how weird it seems to list something you don't own physically when the items in question are physical. I own the SNK Arcade Classics V1 on PS2 like you apparently do but I list it as that since it's what I physically own. I could certainly understand if they were digital versions such as PSN/XBOX Live or Steam.
I wanted to see how many games I really had but I no longer add compilation disc to my collection.
Okay so I KINDA get what you're trying to say even though it strikes me as weird. It's not so much an apples/oranges thing but more like apples/potatoes. To me, regardless of how many titles they pack on the disc, it's just ONE item to me. You're counting per game, not per item. In regards to the nature of the thread's title, that doesn't help you at all because even though you're listing them all as separate games, you still only have the one item. That's part of where some confusion arose because not knowing prior hand that you listed per game instead of per item, it appeared you had more than you actually do.
So to prove I am not a troll If you want those games for cheap I highly recommend you pick out those various PS2 compilation while most of them are under $20 a piece
(edit) keep notice the "Taito Legends 1" and Intellivision Lives" are both Blue PS2 games some PlayStation 2's don't read the Blue Coated shiny side discs.
but you can also buy the OG Xbox or PC version of Taito Legends 1

You're preaching to the choir about compilation discs and compilation "Classic" hardware like the NES/SNES Classic and Neo Geo Mini. I'm pretty sure I have every iteration of Namco Museum aside from the Encore ones that came out in Japan. Waiting on price drops to get the latest Sega one on PS4 and SNK one on Switch. About the only compilation brand I don't chase after is Intellivision only because growing up I was more of a fan of the Colecovision and considered the Intellivision inferior to it (mostly due to my disdain for how the controllers looked with that dial).
