General / How Many Video Games Do You Think Exist Today?
« on: June 02, 2024, 01:03:25 am »
                                                                      BING PULLED UP THE FOLLOWING TONIGHT ON MY OWN ENDS:

(1,181,019) total video games worldwide BING 5-2-2024:

over 5 billion showed up in the search results today:


Total Number of Games:
It’s challenging to pinpoint an exact count, but here’s what we know:
On traditional gaming platforms:


Steam hosts 67,821 games.

GOG offers 4,333 games.

The Ubisoft Store has 265 games.

Nintendo Switch boasts 12,062 games.

PlayStation 4 has 5,366 games.

PlayStation 5 features 974 games.

Xbox offers 3,059 games.


Altogether, that’s 93,880 video games on these platforms.


Mobile gaming:


The App Store houses a whopping 288,153 games.


Google Play Store has an impressive 449,490 games.


Combining both mobile platforms, we get a total of (737,643) games.

However, keep in mind that many games release on multiple platforms, leading to some duplicates. So, the true unique count is likely lower.
In summary, there are over 831,000 games across various platforms, but this number includes duplicates


I have (49,851) owned with some variations and mods

7th Generation consoles any ANY major PC game released between 2005 AD and today in 2024 AD. However the 8th and 9th generation consoles and even the affordable virtual Reality sets have more or less than 5th generation consoles could do. Now the earliest PC games were as equal or better than all console video games of that time back in the 1980's,

 But in the mid 1990's till about year 2000 AD. all PC games sucked because A PC would cost about sometimes up to $500USD more money in America at least for a lower powered gaming system if you were to buy a PC instead of a console from  years 1996 AD till about the year 2000 AD.

Upgrades were a rip off back in those 4 years of PC parts and PC's just were the worst gaming party of that timeframe not today, in my own opinion a full bred or built modern PC is the best gaming device you could own from about the year 2009 AD till today.

Off Topic / Your Own Thoughts On General Entertainment?
« on: May 17, 2024, 06:29:38 am »
My favorite type of entertainment are video games, and music and, shows and sometimes even the television networks, also books when I want to relax and read something interesting, I like photos too but not sick ones. I do like sporting events but my most favorite type of entertainment involves music and video games today. But work is even more important in life because it takes work to build video games and make music and write books and even good photos and artwork is hard to make as well. Without work in place nothing would exist not even garbage or food to eat would exist. I love life but I am not happy all the time. The reason why I try to entertain people even on this forum sometimes is because when other people are happy and free I am also happy and free. But I do not go to negative places on the internet on purpose. Sometimes learning how to do something is entertaining, but school or college in my own opinion is never entertaining at all but sometimes a job is full of excitement and sometimes even entertainment comes with it. I believe in three things in life work, play, and proper education.

First you would need a spare PC, and not use your daily gaming PC unless you want the video game sound effects to play on the live radio servers. You need a LAN cord I would not use WIFI connection because otherwise your listeners would not get as clear of a connection speed, and less connection mean poorer sound quality or more buffering on your outer connections of the outer rims of the Internet. make sure your equalizer is not harmful to anyone's eardrums or ear sets. get Licensed and pay ASCAP or another company at least once a year. Don't run any ads or talk too much or few ads and less talk is fine also. Make the station interesting. Compile all your favorite songs into your personal playlist and lean how to use VLC version 3.0.3 I like that one the best because that version can compile over 28,000 audio recording but not any more than that 29,000  audio files is too risky. CASTHOST is who I associate with currently they are a Canadian and American company that offer data services for a fee. The bigger your data plan is the more it will cost you. You also need a reliable Networking service also known as an ISP in order to reach out and inwards across multiple devices across the world or wherever country you do not choose to ban but CASTHOST does not let you ban countries or states. CASTHOST is currently a reasonable priced data service for web admins or at least for radio servers they are reasonable.

Music does not matter some people even use video game music for there free service or bleeps and bops too. I use copyrighted music, but got my paid license and pay once a year. make sure you choose a wise name for your station I use an angelic theme and a custom angel mascot with a Facebook page and several free listed databases across the Internet that you must register manually to enter into their databases. CASTHOST does not always do things like they should be done in my past experience like enabling certain features.

You could just use the CASTHOST auto server and just upload your music with limited data plans. But use my own PC for the grinding and don't currently use Auto DJ service in which is a CASTHOST feature and involving using the CASTHOST service for playing the music instead of your own personal computers.

This helps if you want to own your own radio station but do not know networking as well as I do. Because I use a port and pay for my own webpage as well. I am connected to the world wide internet and I among bragging but currently get a minimal of 60,000 listeners in a 24 hour period depending on the time. In other words I work my ass off in doing a life long charity service to the public in owning 5 different internet main channels they are all listed under Oldgamerz Community Links under the "Video Showcase Forum" on this web forum of VGcollect

Serving God is worth the cost and the way I look at life is I am not going to live forever so I might as well (try) to (help) improve the lives of others, and give the life to others I never really had.

Hardware and Tech / What Was Your Longest Lasting PC Computer
« on: May 14, 2024, 04:36:19 am »
My family had home PC dating back to the Apple II and was eventually thrown out in the MID 1990's but still worked just fine also another 386 computer that lasted over 10 years before it was thrown out sometime around the year 2000 my current Power Spec is listed on the New PC Thread somewhere on this same hardware and tech forum, it is currently 9 1/2 years old close to 10 full year old hardware but the video card is close to 14 1/2 years old as the date of this post here, As I explained in the New PC thread close to this post on my account, my 10 year old Powerspec is rickety and old and also damaged too, but it is vary clean inside because I just cleaned it a few weeks ago as of this post. Now both computers today run non stop I used them as servers sometimes as a display piece for other people to see. But I maintain them daily, and both run just fine. :-\

Video Showcase / Oldgamerz Community Links
« on: May 08, 2024, 03:56:13 am »
I am not free to post things on this forum as much so I'll leave this behind anyway for those who I care about this is my video game community. You do not need to join because the following link I am giving you is my own reedit community that is public .

But only I can make and approve posts but, it includes video game tips and this is a video game forum so? My new YouTube channel can also be found in a link at the following reedit community as well well here it is and don't worry about seeing me on here much anymore I do not want to be apart of a community I am not welcome into anymore.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Video_Game_Tips/


(edit) I own (49,851) retro video games including variations an but probably will not record most of my physical copies for a long time or ever because I have a limited budget but and some of those games are free mods and free games that are 20 years or older but most of my physical copies are newer, I told you this because I am a video game preserver. I purchased mostly all of them with real money and not credit and don't tell me about pirary because I did not pirate them. I bought them fair and square and their is proof of it too, somewhere on the online records somewhere.

If you play the game against the AI? you can simply anger the hacker off by forcing them to program the game for you ;D

General / Your Own Definition Of A Video Game Pirate?
« on: December 31, 2023, 11:56:00 pm »
My definition of a video game (Master Pirate) is someone who steals games and never pays back or does anything with them. that is a true pirate.

my definition of a (Versa Pirate) is someone who. Downloads new games and takes money or credit for something they did not build or create any of them or anything in them.

(Upa Pirate's) are people that upload stuff from other people's games and make them into their own and take all the credit.

(Script Pirate's) edit code and sometimes break the entire video games or controller or console. on purpose

(Waga Pirate's) in my own opinion, setup up casino games for real money and tell people it is only fake coins or currency.

(Diablo Pirate's) in my own definition of one. just like to cake up your video game while you're playing it online. or sometimes offline.

(Mass Pirate's) love to just like to mess people's heads.

(Devine Pirate's) just create games to hack people sometimes. or into the OS.

highly Illegal Pirates are all the above

(Medium Pirate's) have no money and download new games only without paying full price for them or nothing at all.

(Low life pirate's) only download old games and then pay people for them even when they don't need to pay any money cash or credit at all.

What is your own definitions of a pirate of video games, and no SpongeBob posts, or peter pan jokes? because they have nothing to do with video games pirates at all. or if they do? then feel free to post about that.

I am probably the low life pirate that pays for stuff given out for free to me, only because I found out the easy way, I can sometimes avoid malware that way.

General / Video Game ROM Archives Could Be Dirty I Tried to Tell Them.
« on: December 31, 2023, 06:59:46 am »
Yea someone has got to clean the hamster archives, because some of the games won't even go through my internet connection and some will. That could mean certain ZIP or 7Z folders have, malware or something? yea hackers love to piss hard working people off including the ones who only do charity work.

(raises both hands here)

 i told them about it, and they did not listen, and I pay them a $10USD donation first after I downloaded a lot of free ROMS that nobody sold anywhere else on the Internet. yea Jason is angry at those kinds of people too. Because those people have 0 respect for anything good in the world.

And the only thing mostly those people care about probably is illegal drugs and jewelry. and maybe shoes, and the best toilet money can purchase on the Earth. and bad food and how to destroy something else good in the world.

 :-\

had it up to hear with people like that. Not all. someone here knows what I meant by these words.

I hate the ones who do it for just the sake of a good time.

Off Topic / Don't eat Jolly ranchers trust me
« on: December 26, 2023, 02:41:22 am »
Short words I ate a couple of them and almost every time I did I lost a gum tooth, the candy acid ate right through my entire tooth and lost 1 wisdom tooth 2 molars and probably at least 16 filled cavitied, and probably only ate less then 12 of them in a lifetime, Luckly I still have most of my teeth left, but take my advice and don't eat a (hard) one but soft ones is always ok? if you can still chew it without choking on one without any teeth. I am not trying to be funny, but those things also taste nasty to me as well I much prefer a warhead sour candy, even though I don't really like those anymore either.

please save your dentist bill and your teeth and do not eat a hard one, my 5th grade teacher loved them, and I don't want to talk about him right now.

The Anti Christ Wizzard is Gandolph Wizzard's real son, and the master move on Gandalf was to block his own father from entering a war zone for anymore eternity on the old earth. he tried to fight him but did not have to power to 4 times probably and Gandolph didn't listen and became Jesus probably in real life, you watch the movie now Fellowship of the Ring and find out the lord ring belongs to the Anti-Christ Wizzard and not forto Baggins. and that ring is something invisible in my home probably, after the wizard bad fell he was kicked, and the ring disappeared from him and he never even cared about that dam ring to begin with.

Rupees are a real and not a fake casino game controlled by the t master that if your volunteer to play them they will suck you wallet and credit cards and debit card so far you will be in debt for life and all your life fortunes will go to t master, rupees are a real casino game, and a fake casino game is 100% better than the real thing.

General / Classic Console Call Of Duty Mostly Explained 6th Gen
« on: December 11, 2023, 02:53:38 pm »
The 1st Call of duty I ever played was Call Of Duty Finest Hour in which is or was the hardest Call of Duty Game I ever played before and I played a lot of it, and all the rest of 6th and 7th console generation Call of Duty games including Call of Duty Black Ops I and II and beat all of them,

but it can take a while (especially) Finest Hour because that one is Hard try it or watch a channel video not necessary from YouTube but you can. but sometimes YouTube is dangerous but that is out of this topic so do not ask me about YouTube today or ever,

 but try Call of Duty Finest Hour single player Campaign last, trust me, it is fun, but it is vary vary hard, but that is not a real event it is only a video game reaction with buttons. but just play it to get somewhat of an idea of what World War II was like for some of the WWII veteran's, mostly the allies' soldiers of USA British and Russian elite forces in which never says that but that is who you are playing with in the video games.
