Games you own multiple copies of

xWonderboyx

There are a few games I compulsively buy.

I'll start with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I own two copies for the SNES. I had it on the GBA at one point, but I have no idea what happened to it, and I plan on buying it again soon. It was the first game I bought on the Virtual Console on the Wii. That puts me at 3 copies in hand and one more as soon as I come across it.

I don't know how this game happened as I am not particularly good at it, but Killer Instinct has found its way into my gaming collection 3 times!



Next is Metal Gear Solid. I own the original PS1 version (non Greatest Hits, psh), the PC version, the re-release in the Essential Collection Box, and the Gamecube remake. There's 4. If they put it on the PSN I would buy it there, too. I also have 3 copies of MGS2 (original Sons of Liberty and two Substance), and 3 copies of MGS3 (original Snake Eater, Limited edition Subsistence, and the version that came in the Essential Collection box.

I have 3 copies of Ikaruga. A dreamcast, gamecube, and XBLA version. Same with Rez.

I have 3 copies of Castlevania: SOTN. I have it for the PS1, XBLA, and PSN. If I found the saturn version I would buy that, too.

Basically any time I see these games I seem to buy them. They're my catcher in the rye.

Aumni

I have 3 or 4 versions of Starcraft because I kept losing them.

I have 2 versions of SOTN

That's about it.

If I could have multiples of Street Fighter 4 and it's respective controllers I would though.

Cherrn

I own two versions of the PC port of Battle Arena Toshinden! They're my treasures. The original, and one that came with Fatal Fury 3. I had to get it again.

Gyral

If we're talking about the same game for a single console... Morrowind for the XBox. I have the original release and then when I went to get the GOTY version, I accidentally picked up another copy of the original. Later on, I finally got the GOTY version.

I have RE4 on the GC and Wii (for good reason). Samurai Shodown for the Genesis, VC and the SamSho Anthology for PS2 that just came out.

Both original Resident Evil and MGS and their remakes.

Kris_xK

Disgeae - PS, PSP
Chrono Trigger - 2xSNES
Toy Commander - 2xDC
Team Fortress 2 - 360, PC
Civ2 - 3xPC
Worms - PC, XBLA and something else I cant remember. DC?
Jagged Alliance 2 - 4xPC
Alpha Centauri - 2xPC

I think thats it.

I have two copies of Extreme-G for N64 because my friend left his at my house and I never gave it back.

Did him a favor. I'm still pissed I got that instead of Goldeneye for Christmas.

BloodySloth

I have at least two copies of StarCraft/Broodwar, and if you count Half-Life and Half-Life Source as the same game then I have like, three copies of that. I also got The Orange Box for the 360 as a gift, having already bought Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 on Steam.

I think I have two copies of F-Zero X for the N64 in my house, but one is lost in a labyrinth of storage boxes (this being the reason for the second copy).

Bionic Monkey

Same as the OP, I obsessively collect every version of every Zelda that comes out. NES, GBA and Wii? Got all three.

The only other game I have multiple copies of is Fallout 3. I bought it originally for the 360, and then picked up the PC version for mods when I just couldn't stop playing the 360 one.

FyreWulff

I can't find the other ones (probably lost when I got robbed) but I'm on my 5th copy of Perfect Dark.

At one point I also had 3 different versions of Ocarina of Time.

Toxin01

3 copies of battlefield 2, and if you count orange box:

2 copies of Half-Life 2/ Episode 1

2 copies of Starcraft + Brood Wars

Thats it.

Peewi

The only games I actually have multiple copies of is Half-Life 2 and HL2: Episode One, because I already had them when I bought The Orange Box.

I've bought Advance Wars: Dark Conflict for a gift and then later I bought another copy for myself. I bought two copies of Chrono Trigger for DS at once, but one of them was a gift.

My cousin is a complete Zelda whore. He has Ocarina of Time on N64, Master Quest that came with The Wind Waker and on Virtual Console, A Link to the Past on GBA and VC and both the Wii and Gamecube versions of Twilight Princess.

Helloween

I have hmm...

Ikaruga on Cube and Xbox live arcade
Mass effect on PC and xbox
DMC 4 on PC and xbox
Fallout 3 on pc and xbox (although the pc one doesnt work -.-)
No more heroes for the wii twice
Dead Space on PC and xbox
Banjo Kazooie on live and N64
Stalker twice on the pc
Link to the past 3 times on the snes, once on GBA (god knows why)
Super metroid 2 times on the snes and once on wii
Sonic 1 on Megadrive, Cube collection, xbox collection etc etc

I can't think of any others though I'm sure there's more.

Peewi

Oh yeah, I remembered some more.

I have Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 on VC and Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PC that includes both of those and much more.

Gar king

i had like 3 copies of mega man legends 2, I lost the first one, lent the second one out and never got it back, and I don't know what the fuck happened to the third

Lunker

The only major offender I have is Final Fantasy IV; I currently have three iterations (PS1, GBA and DS, though the DS one is majorly different), sold off my SNES version years ago, and when it comes on Virtual Console I will have an immensely difficult time not buying it for a fifth time.

Buttcleft

I have 3 copies of Final Fantasy 6

original SNES version
Playstation Re-release
and the GBA enhanced version.

I also have 2 copies of broodwar and starcraft.

and two copies of HL2
thats about it.

Taramoor

I have like five copies of this game.

Rent

I have bought FFX, I'd say, at least five times over the years
First time, bought it used, had a scratch (rendering unplayable), exchanged it, froze about midway through the game, returned it, rebought it new a couple of years later, lost it, rebought it, left it at my parents house, and am now looking to buy it again so I can finally, finally, finally actually beat it
No, I'm not kidding
I must've played through the game 4 times, at least, and at some point I stop right before Sin (This is with, like 50 hours of playtime) to max everyone's Sphere Grid/ beastiary/ get Ultimate Weapons and end up never doing it, and then for one reason or another never get around to actually beating the goddamn game

fragglefart

I own about 10 copies of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Even that mini Mega Drive Sonic plug-in for your TV.

No idea why I keep buying it but I just can't resist!

You just threw down the Challenge, now TSR is gonna come on in here

toolbert

Lets see...

Final Fantasy IV 4 Copies (PS1, Snes, GBA & DS remake)
Chrono Trigger 3 (Snes, PS1 & DS. I'll probably buy any others that come out as well)
Deus Ex 2 copies (both PC...unsure how I got the second copy)
FF Tactics 3 copies (2 PS1 [thought one was stolen from me] and PSP)

Kor

I'm pretty sure I own 4 copies of WarcraftIII and the frozen throne.

The original I bought. I thought I lost Warcraft III when I wanted to reinstall sometime later, and bought another copy.

At some point I picked up an extra copy from a LAN party that no one wanted to claim.

Then finally, I bought a copy for my wife.

We also own several dublicates of good SNES games. LttP, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World. But thats just because she owned them, and I owned them, and then we got married and we owned them.

Mx. Quill

Ocarina of Time- GCN and 2 copies on the N64 (my dad was given an N64 from a friend along with a ton of games. It's also how we got a second N64).
Super Mario 64- 2 copies on the N64 (same reason as with OoT).
A Link to the Past- GBA and SNES
Super Mario RPG- VC and SNES
Mario Kart 64- VC and N64
Sonic the Hedgehog- VC and Genesis
Odin Sphere- I bought it three times since I stupidly traded it in twice.
Grandia 2- Dreamcast and PS2 (the latter of which is beyond buggy)
Chrono Trigger- PS1 and DS
Sonic Adventure- Dreamcast and GCN

DHS Odium

Ocarina of Time: N64, GC MasterQuest, GC Compilation
Zelda 1: NES, GC Compilation
Zelda 2: NES, GC Compilation, GBA Classics
Link to the Past: SNES, Wii VC
Castlevania 1: NES, GBA Classics
Rez: Dreamcast, XBLA
Half-Life 2: regular + Orange box, already gifted the other extras I had though.
Final Fantasy 1: NES, GBA Remake

There's probably more, nothing too bad I don't think.

SkutSkut

I've had 5 copies of Resident Evil 2. lost 2, 1 broke, got the dual shock edition, sold it, got another dual shock edition.

Foefaller

The only game I have multiple copies of on one console at one time is Super Scope 6, from when my friend's Super Scope broke and he game me all of his games that used it, that one being the only overlap.

when remakes/re-releases are involved, however, I have 3 copies of FFIV (SNES,GBA,DS) 2 of FFVI (SNES,GBA) and 2 copies of Chrono Trigger (SNES and DS.) If you include promotional discs and unlocked content, I also at least 2 copies of Metroid (NES, unlock from Prime (maybe 3, isn't there another metroid game that has the origianl?) and 2 copies of the original Legend of Zelda, AoL, OoT, and MM, owning both the original release and the gamecube promotional disc that has all 4 games on it. I once had 3 for OoT, owning the other promotional disc with it and the Master Quest, but gave that to my cousin.

...and it likely won't end there. I'm probably going to get the Sega Genisis collection which came out recently, which would mean sonic 1,2,3, and S&K (1 and 2 VC, S3&K from the PC Sonic Mega Collection) I might get MM when it comes to VC stateside, and not only am I hoping for another FFVI, but I'm also hopping that either a) is released on the Wii instead of the DS or b) has some crazy use of the DSi's SD card slot, or simply waiting untill the next handheld generation, so I can get it with better graphics than FFIV DS had...

Nappuccino

I own like, 3 copies of Half life 2
and 2 copies of Final Fantasy viii (PC and PS)

THEPAIN73

At one point I remember having two copies of Halo 3.

I have bought many game multiple times.

The worst offender is Super Mario World.

I think I am at 5 or 6 times.

Nappuccino

Oh, and I forgot that i used to have a Gold cartridge of Zelda for the nes and latter picked up a standard grey copy because I thought they were different games.

Sevorak

I have several games that I bought on steam after I already had a hard copy because I'm a whore for convenience. I'm pretty sure all of them were part packages that was cheaper than what I originally bought them for though.

Dawn of War Gold & Dark Crusade
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus
Civ IV
Titan Quest

Reznik

Final Fantasy VII

1. Greatest Hits. Bought used at EB. Disc 1 freezes at the cutscene where you get Cid, but the other discs work.

2. Black Label. Bought from someone off Kijiji. Pretty much mint condition.

3. Greatest Hits. Guy I bought copy 2 from included a free disc 2 and 3.

4. PC. Got off Goozex.

Once it comes to PSN I'll more than likely get it a fifth time.

Willybubba

RE4 for Wii and Cube and Half Life 2 for PC (vanilla) and 360 (Orange Box).

Graviija

I have the Wii and GC version of Twilight Princess.

Then Link to the Past on SNES, GBA, and the VC.

Ocarina of Time Gold cartridge, grey cartridge, Masterquest (GC), compilation (GC), and VC.

Original Zelda for NES, GBA NES series, and VC.

I like Zelda games.

Dissociater

I have super mario bros twice for the SNES.

I also have Final Fantasy 2 and 3 for SNES (4 and 6) and then I have copies of them again in the anthology collection for the playstation.

Then most recently I bought FF6 for game boy advanced off ebay. I was told it would be shipped within a week, 2 weeks go by and I look online and he's deleted his profile, so we make a grievance with ebay and they refund my money. I put down another bid on another version of ff6 for GBA and win it, 3 days later I get it in the mail. Woohoo, then 2 days after that I get the first one I ordered...I felt a bit bad...

So that makes 4 copies of FF6

I also have Chronotrigger for SNES and NDS.

I bought Myth 1, and then I bought the gold edition of Myth 2, which was Myth 1 and 2 together.

I also have lego star wars II the original series, then I got Lego Star Wars the complete series, so that's kind of the same game twice. I also bought dungeon keeper 2 twice, because I thought I lost my original (I didn't).

That's all that I can think of!

Djiem

If remakes and re-releases count, I have a whole bunch of Marios and Zeldas.

I have Mega Man 2 for the VC, I got Rock Man 2 for the Famicom, and am trying to find a cheap copy of the game for the NES. God I love MM2.

Fig-D

I probably own 3 copies of TIE Fighter and 3 or 4 copies of both Quake II and Doom III.

As far as re-releases and VC go... hundreds of dollars. Half of my collection I've probably rebought in another format.

Perdurabo

I have two copies of Company of Heroes and Opposing Fronts - this is because of Steam. I just wanted them on Steam. Daft really.

Foefaller

Forgot I got Banjo-Kazooie for the N64 and Xbox Live.

h8b1llg8ts

Seriously every single game that has been ported to current gen or digital format.

Reason, because I cringe everytime my four year old grabbes Sonic Jam and tries to put it into her PSP.

Now that's never happened but you get the picture ...
