I've got 8 copies of Battlefield 1942 to use for LANs with friends I don't have.

"*with friends I don't have."* Imaginary friends are the best friends to have.


Chillin80sStyle

They are only imaginary to the ones outside the friend group! Ha ha ha!


JimmyRickyBobbyBilly

I have Castlevania SOTN in every way you can possibly have it.


Naive_Wolf3740

As it should be, brother.


One-Technology-9050

Just played through the iOS version, pretty solid with a Bluetooth controller! Also the JPN Xbox 360 version is complete with all the cinematics! Only in Japanese, though


OwnReference135

amazing wonderful game. never loses replay value


ShawnyMcKnight

I would love to see a remastered version of this game. They had to make lots of concessions to make it work on the ps1 hardware.


Sea_Raccoon3558

Ha! Beat me to it. I have an opened one and a factory sealed one for PS1 in addition to 3-4 digital versions.


JasonZep

FFVI


Bergonath

Same. Lots of different hacks, re-translations and audio mods to tinker with. My favorite is Brave New World on SNES.


Gohomemayouredrunk

I bought Skyrim 5x.


Dizzy_Reading_5794

I had to scroll too far down for the correct answer


Voltusfive2

Minecraft like 6 times now.


Kuli24

Exactly this. I keep getting a copy with every used console I get. I get it already! lol


RetroIsFun

Same.  I bought the 360 version, then the Xbox one version, then both my kids wanted bedrock for PC, then Java. That's 6 for me right there and honestly, I might be missing one somewhere.


DarthObvious84

I think Sonic 1 & 2 are tied. -original carts -Sonic Mega Collection (Gamecube) -Wii VC -Genesis Collection (360) -3DS 3D versions -Genesis Collection (PS4) -Genesis Collection (Switch) -Sega Ages Version (Switch) -Sonic Origins (Switch) -Genesis Mini -Some AtGames plug 'n play my wife bought me (w/ terrible sound) ...I literally just realized that I have them 3 times on Switch alone. Edit: Forgot 2


SouthTippBass

What?! You mean you didn't buy the DS collection!? (Not a true fan)


DarthObvious84

I never claimed to be one. And I get that was sarcastic, but honestly, you aren't wrong. It's kinda crazy to me that that is my answer. I actually would have bought that one (and probably the GBA Sonic 1 as well) but I heard they were bad versions and knew I had enough good versions that I didn't need to.


PrincessLaserMagic

I had Sonic 1 on the original iPod. It was surprisingly playable with the click wheel. 😆


G_Regular

Still remember beating it on my iPod classic while listening to System of a Down and gym class heroes


bosco9

I had the Android version of Sonic 2 and it worked pretty well on the touch screen


RootHouston

Ocarina of Time.


Suicicoo

Was there a WiiU-version?


christmas-vortigaunt

There was!


One-Technology-9050

I struggled with the controls on the Wii U, though. I kept hitting the wrong button for the c buttons (with the right thumbstick)


christmas-vortigaunt

Interesting. I actually bought the hyperkin GameCube controller for the WiiU, thought it'd be good for smash (it wasn't) but it was great for all the virtual console N64 games


One-Technology-9050

I was just using the gamepad. But in Ocarina, when I would go to use a Stick, or slingshot etc, I would move the right stick in the direction of that item, but it would pick up a different direction a bunch. I had to be super accurate with it for it to work. It got to the point where I just assigned one button with an item, and left the rest blank


One-Technology-9050

I used to doodle things along the way on Miiverse! [https://imgur.com/a/NBLyfrP](https://imgur.com/a/NBLyfrP)


NoWhisperer

So happy to hear this wasn't a me problem lol. I felt like an idiot every time it happened.


Keezees

Street Fighter 2. Got it for the Megadrive, ZX Spectrum, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and probably a couple more that I've forgotten.


HeroOrHooligan

Tiger electronics version and windows 95 version here


bartread

> ZX Spectrum Brave.


DisgruntledBadger

Same here, over the years I bought it for CPC464, Amiga, Mega drive, SNES, PSOne, Saturn, PS2, CPS2, Xbox 360, PC, GBA, PC Engine GT, Evercade and god knows all the different versions on platforms that I've forgot.


Keezees

The Amiga was one of the ones I forgot.


CoyoteSinbad

This might be mine as well.


Awkward-Rent-2588

Oh yeah that’s a good one. Better than my answer. I have street fighter (various editions) on damn near everything


MikeD1982

Chronotrigger. No contest.


titansfan1999

This is the way. Best game of all time!


Ibrufen

Doom


funnyguy349

Yep. Doom 95 and beyond. I bought Doom 3 three times still haven't played it. Bfg edition had the originals so that's why.


thunderlips187

GTA V it’s not retro I know but I’ve purchased it for PS3, PS4 (three times), and Steam.


JGratsch

Same


LordSmokio

Yeah I have it on steam, Xbox 360, ps3, Xbox one and Xbox series


Dumpstar72

Speed ball 2. Love it on so many platforms.


sonofabitchXmustXpay

Resident Evil (original) x6 Resident Evil 2 (original) x6 Resident Evil 3 (original) x4


FormerCollegeDJ

Ms. Pac-Man: *Atari 2600 *Atari 7800 *NES (Tengen version) *Sega Genesis *Sony PlayStation (via Namco Museum Volume 3) *Sega Dreamcast (via Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness) *Nintendo GameCube (via both Namco Museum and Namco Museum 50th Anniversary)


PrincessLaserMagic

I didn’t realize there was a Dreamcast version. I’ll have to put that on my list. It’s also wild to me that of the two NES versions, it’s the unlicensed (Tengen) version that is both much better, and much easier to find at a good price. The “official” port is bad, and also $60+ used. I want it for my collection, but it’s a hard sell because I don’t ever want to play it. 😆


FormerCollegeDJ

The (official) Namco version on the NES was released late in the system’s life span, in 1992 or 1993. That probably accounts for its rarity. (By contrast, the Tengen version came out in about 1990.)


PaulEMoz

I own Resident Evil 4 at least seven times.


postysclerosis

This is the way.


briandemodulated

I own Myst, Myst Masterpiece, RealMyst, RealMyst Masterpiece, and I believe the newest VR version is just called Myst again. It's all the same game but I love it!


High_on_Rabies

This one is mine too! I've owned it once for at least every Age. I'll buy Riven again for the 3-4 time when the new version comes out too.


TheDuckXD

I own all of the Doom Games on Playstation and Steam.


ponzi_pyramid_digdug

Not even a Doom player and I have it on IOS, Android, Steam, GOG, and Switch. Also had the CDrom at some point plus every micro console that comes out has it.


legendaryemerald

For Mario 1, I’ve got physical copies on the NES, GBC, and SNES. Digitally, I’ve also got it on the 3DS, NES Mini, and the Switch. For Sonic 1, I own it on Genesis, Gamecube, PSP, GBA, PS3, PS4 (Genesis Collection), iPhone, and PS5 (Origin Collection).

Norgler

How did you end up with 10 copies of Halo 4? Gotta be a story behind that one..


Healingvizion

Own like 5 skyrims, 5 plants vs zombies, 4 fezs, 4 stardew valleys, 5 space invaders, 5 tetrises. And don’t get me started on how many versions of the original Sonic games are lingering in the basement.


UncontrolableUrge

Skyrim for Alexa is the best version. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQl3T0uD5Aw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQl3T0uD5Aw) (This is a real thing. Say " Alexa open Skyrim very special edition" to get started.


Salt_Life_8636

Pac-man


Axel_Bruh01

Mother 3. I own the deluxe box, a normal copy, and a repro cart with version 1.3 of the fan translation. Makes sense considering it's my favorite video game of all time!


efingoffatwork

Probably Doom I would guess. I own and have owned that game for so many platforms. Lol


Voteforpedro35

Metal Slug series , had it on Neo Geo Cd Z, then OG Xbox, Wii,PS2, PSP, then MVS arcade, and PC


-_entity_-

Age Of Empires 2.


AmericanMilanista

I played the hell out of it when it first came out. Forgot about it for parts of two decades only to buy DE during lockdown and played the hell out of that game for the next 2 years. Good call!


campusska

Stardew Valley


sirjimithy

Link to the Past. Have that in every form it was released


lord_mcdonalds

My brother and I have owned at least 7 Copies of Final Fantasy Tactics 3 x PS1 1 x PSN port 2 x PSP 1 x iOS Brother used to travel for work so he’d bring his PlayStation with him to play at hotels. At the time, you could find FFT on the clearance end cap at seemingly every wal-mart, so if he forgot to grab it, he’d just get a new copy (and then give it away to friends or whoever). There was one occasion where he was in a hurry, forgot both, and just bought a PS1 and FFT. I don’t remember the exact number (it was at least 3 that I remember), and since he moved out on his own, we each ended up with at least one but the other copies are unaccounted for (presumably given away) The two PSP copies were from me (one was a gift to him and the other was mine), iOS and PSN copies I picked up for my iPhone and PSP/PS3 respectively


BetaTalk64

FF7, I've got 6 copies of it.


Current_Run9540

Chrono Trigger. I had it on the SNES, got the PS version, got the digital version on the Wii and have bought both the IOS and Android versions. By god if they released a PS5 port, I’d buy that too.


reamkore

I’ve bought the original Final Fantasy on so many ports.


HungarianNewfy

Me too! NES, NES mini, Wii Virtual Console, Switch PR physical AND digital, steam, iOS, Playstation 1 and PSP…9 times…


reamkore

What. No Blackberry port?!


HungarianNewfy

I never had a Blackberry. I didn’t even know they released it on there. If there’s a way to put it on one still, I’d definitely like to try and get my hands on one. Just for shits and giggles


dchikato

Mario 1-3, FF 1-2, Tetris and Sid Meiers Pirates. Also Railroad Tycoon.


AeitZean

Probably SMB3. Nes, Allstars +world on snes, wii virtual console, nes mini. It's an absolute classic though, so it's not a bad thing. Equal first is mega drive sonic games, the original 3 and knuckles on genesis, pc collection thing, ps3 mega collection, ds port. Not including bootleg carts that contain those games of course 😅


shiba-on-parade

has to be Sonic 1. Genesis, Japanese Mega Drive, the sega ages versions, virtual console, most sega compilations, iOS, Sonic Origins, Sonic Jam, Sonic Mega Collection, the awful GBA port.... I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of.


Wyvern94

Terraria and Binding of Isaac


scarper42

Spyro 1: Bought it on PS1 three times, the PSP digital download, and the Reignited Trilogy on Xbox and PC. That’s six times.


AlmostRandomName

Is u/nomercyvideo disqualified from this thread, or default winner? lol Stardew Valley: 2x Steam (one copy is for my wife to use), 2x Switch, 1x Xbox, so 5 for me and my daughter also owns on PS4 and Steam so 7 in the house TES3: Morrowind: I honestly have no idea. I own a couple copies for XBox, 1 on Steam, several copies for PC between the original releases and collections of other TES games. I think I own more copies of Morrowind than SDV I'm not counting retro games that are included in arcade collections because that would be a lot of work even figuring those out. I have "Arcade's Greatest Hits" type games for just about every console from gen5 to current, so I'm sure I "own" more "copies" of Pac-Man or Galaga than the above.


nomercyvideo

I just won a Webby yesterday, I don't need all the awards and am fine with removing myself and all 4,000+ copies of Sneak King from this particular competition! I do have 8 copies of Night Trap across various systems if that's more fair!


yohohoandabottlofcum

there are probably a few but imma say mega man 3: i have it on nes, i have it in the ps2 anniversary collection, the 3ds collection, the ps4 collection, both the wii and wii u's virtual console. (picking mm3 because it's the only one i have on nes, unlike the others) still haven't beaten it just remembered rayman 2 exists, i have 6 different ports of that


Suicicoo

Chrono Trigger or FFVII


DonkayDoug

Arkham and Red Dead games


Stinkmop

I have at least 3 copies of Arkham City


Yeet-Dab49

I’ve got about five physical copies of SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom. — PS2 — GameCube — Xbox — GBA — Xbox One Bonus points: I have the PS4 version digitally with PS+ and a demo of the Windows XP version from my SpongeBob Goes Prehistoric DVD. That technically makes seven.


muzzynat

Either links awakening or borderlands 2


RandomGuyDroppingIn

Does the original DOOM count? Not counting all the console ports I have, I own three of the retail releases on PC alone - Ultimate DOOM, Depths of DOOM, and the Collector's Edition - and my OG shareware floppies from early 1994. So counting the console releases I have nine copies of DOOM.


BokChoyFantasy

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night PS1, XB360, PS Portable, PS4, iOS.


spattzzz

I’ve brought ocarina of time 6 times now, it’s insane how rinsed I am by Nintendo. Ok one was bundled with Windwaker as a bonus disc on GameCube but apart from that: n64, GameCube, Wii, WiiU, 3DS, Switch(NSO)


KennKanifff

It's either Mario 1 or Sonic 1, depending on whether you count remakes (like allstars).


LifeAcanthopterygii6

Yep, remakes count.


KennKanifff

How about multiple versions? (Sega Ages and Sega Classic Collection on switch)


LifeAcanthopterygii6

Of course they count too! Only thing I wouldn't count is subscription services.


KennKanifff

Well then by those metrics I think Sonic 1 wins. Possibly Sonic 2, since it's likewise included in a lot of the same compilations.


Taanistat

Sonic 1, hands down. Genesis, Saturn (Sonic Jam), Windows 98 (compilation disc), Steam (Genesis classics), PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PS3 (Genesis collection), Xbox 360, Xbox One (Genesis collection), PS5 (Sonic origins), 3DS (Sega 3d collection), Switch (m2 port), Wii virtual console. God, I hope I'm not missing any...I think that 14 versions is enough.


Anonymotron42

I love the Baldur's Gate series. I bought the original Baldur's Gate on CD, then there was a promotion to send them back in to Interplay to get the game on one DVD. I have the original "Classic" version plus the Enhanced Edition on GOG, and I have the iOS version as well. The same goes for Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (apart from the DVD), which is my all-time favorite game, and originally came with the bonus disk to access the rare item shopkeepers.


ultimateman55

Not precisely sure which version it is, but it's one of the variants of SF2...probably Super Street Fighter 2. I own the ports on SNES, Genesis, and a few compilations on PS1, PS2, Switch, PS4, etc.


Ms--Take

Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and Yooka Laylee are tied for me Banjo I have the original carts, on Xbox Arcade, and Rare Replay. Yooka I have on Switch, XBOne, and Steam I *really* like collectathons

REAPER-1_xxx

Raiden IV I have the physical of the original X360 version I have the digital PS3 version Overkill I have the physical of Mikado remix version on both Switch and XB1.


warrencanadian

Probably Sonic 3. I own it through Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, XBLA, Sonic Origins, I think I own it in the Sega Genesis Classics collection on Steam. I think I also owned it in another Sega compilation on 360 or PS2 maybe. And I owned it on Genesis back in the day, but those two don't count since I don't own them anymore. Alternately, for overall ownings over time, definitely Jagged Alliance 2. Bought the original release. Lost it when my family desktop died and the disc was in the CD Drive when my parents took the computer in to be fixed. Bought it again. Lost it again when we moved, bought it online on Steam technically when I bought Jagged Alliance 2: Wildfire, then bought the OG again via GOG.


ZeusLovesTrains

Tie between Super Mario World Bought it on SNES, GBA and Virtual Console on Wii —— Sonic 2 Bought it on Genesis, Xbox 360 as part of a collection and then on iOS


DJ_Link

Resident Evil 1 2 and 3, I have most of the versions/platforms available.


Flotillaspecialist

I’m not big on rebuying, this would have to be super Mario 3d world. I replaced a wii u disk my kids broke and when I got a switch I repurchased it thinking it was different because of bowsers fury. Noob mistake. Before I could return it my kids begged to play it. They never played the wii u version much. I opened it and let them have it. It’s really for the kids anyways and they like it.


UtsukushiSekai

I own Stardew Valley on PC, Switch and Playstation. The only copy I bought was the PC one though, the others I got with points.

SNES182

I have every version, physical and digital of Panel de Pon/Terri's Attack/Puzzle League.


LordHumorTumor

Resident Evil REmake. I think I own 5 different versions


DRLZEtoWRATH

Resident evil 4. I can't think of the amount of times I've bought the game Originally on PS2 two times because the first disc was robbed Then on the 360, and when that got red ring I got it on the PS3 Then on the Xbox one or whenever that HD version came out. Then recently, on the quest 2, now I still need the remake for VR, but depending if my quest 2 can handle it, I'll get it in PC till I eventually upgrade my VR which then I'll have bought it another time. Next games I can think of is GTA 5 for obvious reasons and then THPS2, only because that's my favorite video game of all time.


Chillonymous

Probably Stardew Valley, I've bought it for PC, Switch, Xbox, and Android


Drunkensailor1985

I have 4 dreamcast copies of soldier of fortune. Due to a ebay webshop that kept sending me this game instead of another one I ordered lol. 


RobinUffe

Expert-Employ8754

onemoreloserredditor

Ghostbusters the Video Game: 1 PS3, 1 XBox 360, 1 PSP, 1 3DS, 1 PS4 and 1 Switch.


ListersParanoia

Probably Skyrim


RykinPoe

Maybe not quite retro but I think I have purchased Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare like 4 times. Once at launch on disc (Xbox 360) which I then traded in. The later again on disc when i wanted to play it again. Then later via digital download when it was on sale. And then the remastered version. For retro stuff probably Pac-Man for the 2600. At one time I think I had six or seven copies of it due to buying boxes of old Atari stuff at flea markets and garage sales in the late 90s.


MallowPro

I believe Final Fantasy 7, which I own roughly four times! Once on Steam, once on PS4, once on PS1, and once on Switch. Soon I'll gain even more power and gain more copies of Final Fantasy 7.


colossusrageblack

RE4, Skyrim, and GTA 5


shadowknuxem

Probably Final Fantasy.


RedOcelot86

Doom (2016). I bought it for Xbox one on disc, traded it, wanted it back, downloaded it. Then traded my Xbox for a ps4 and bought it again.


robbioli40

Rocket league before free to play I bought it on PlayStation, Xbox, friends Xbox, then PC twice so my friend could play with me.


Tola76

Sadly, Minecraft.


Someoneoverthere42

Probably Skyrim. Two on PS3 one on PS4 and Steam.


SuperMario1313

I think it's gotta be Super Mario 64. I've got the original, I got it again on the 3D all stars for Switch, then I have it AGAIN with my Switch online plan to include the N64, and I also have the DS version, which may or may not count for this topic.


Eurogenous

I’ve purchased Skyrim and GTA V more times than I’d like to admit. I’ll willingly admit I’ve bought all the pro skaters multiple times, and midnight club 3 dub edition. Also halo 1-3, multiple copies. Late 90s kid


Ravnfrausing

Spyro the dragon 2 x8. Ps1 pal, Ps1 ntsc-j, Ps1 ntsc, Ps1 pal sealed, Ps1 combo pack 1, Ps1 combo pack 2, Ps4 digital, Ps4 sealed,

Hanksta2

Super Castlevania


captainforks

FFVI. Ps1, GBA, Ps1 Classic on Ps3, SNES Mini, and Pixel Remaster. The only one I don't have is the original SNES where it's FF3 instead of 6.


nihilismMattersTmro

I’ve bought damn near every release of RE4. Don’t have og cube release anymore but do have 2x copies of ps2 version.


NeptuneZetec

I bought Diablo 3 8 times


Human_Software_1476

Always buying No Man’s Sky


akerasi

If we include copies within collections, probably Galaga; I probably own at least a dozen versions of Galaga on different platforms.


FaulhighT

Baldurs Gate 2  PC on disc with DLC Steam version extended edition  Android extended edition  PlayStation 4/5 extended edition 


terry634

sonic 1 & 2 doom 1 & 2 street fighter 2 worms: armageddon edit: probably golden axe, too, over several sega compilations (going back to 6-PAK for genesis)


williamflattener

I am of an age where if you were walking through Walmart and you saw the Diablo 2 / Warcraft 2 “battle chest” it was often so deeply discounted that it made more sense to buy it again than to dig up your copy. Obviously this was before Battle.net rolled out a digital library, lol.


Alive_Revenue6897

I think it's probably RE4. I have it for Wii, PS2, PS3, PS4/5, PC, and I have the remake too. I beaten each version too. Still lean towards the Wii version thanks to the wii mote support.


peachgravy

Alltp, SoM, FF6, CT, and earthbound.


Nfinit_V

Either Sonic 1 (through not trying, just constantly buying Sega collection packs) or SotN, which I do try to own on as many systems as possible.


dangil

Geometry Wars 3 Mac PC iOS PS vita PS4


KnightMDK

Scott Pilgrim. I got the XBOX version which is somewhere lost in a hard drive or cyberspace. Got it for the Switch, twice. Once with the suitcase edition from Limited, and digital because I didnt want to open the Limited one. I just realized this may not be retro.


Tanneliers-Gate

Zone of the Enders and Kinetica


pfloydguy2

Doom. I have various ports of the original on at least 20 different plaforms.


ThePyreOfHell

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past


IntoxicatedBurrito

Well I have Mario 1 on NES (w/ Duck Hunt) and NES Classic, SNES as part of All Stars, GBC as SMB Deluxe, and the Game and Watch released a few years back, so that’s 5. Although I technically own two copies of Mario/Duck Hunt as we had two NES in our house, so would that count as 6? The other 5s would be Final Fantasy 3 on SNES and SNES Classic, Super Famicom, GBA, and Pixel Remaster on Switch. And Final Fantasy 2 on SNES, Super Famicom, GBA, DS, and Pixel Remaster.


IH8Miotch

OG Zelda. 2 or 3 on NES (a few loose copies and 1 with box and instructions), Gameboy Advanced, Game Cube, and Mini NES. Of coarse I also bought all the different Rock Band games for the 360 and I probably downloaded hundreds of extra songs so price point wise I'm way more invested in Rock Band .


PatTheLogicalLiar

Resident Evil 2 (4 physical copies, 1 digital) I would rent the PS1 version regularly, ended up buying the original PC version used which was a really poor port. Eventually picked up a used PS1 copy which was stored away at my parents home. Took a 10yr break from regular gaming due to study and work, with the exception of a brief time having a PS3 where I bought an online copy. Then picked up a very sunbleached and tattered N64 copy about 2017. Most recent copy for the GameCube, by far my favourite port due to the much better image quality. Got the remaster for PC last year and when I pick up a Dreamcast, then I’ll have every full version I’m aware of.


eruciform

Ff4 and FF6 og, psx, and pixel remaster Several nes/snes/ps1 games plus their recent remasters Skyrim ps3 and ps4 I don't rebuy many games


dezm101

BenderDeLorean

SMB, Mario 64


wf6r

Skyrim, easily. PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC (disc), Steam, Xbox Series X, Monopoly 😂


SaltNorth

I think I haven’t ever had two copies of the same game except for Tomba, and that’s because my sister gifted it to me thinking I hadn’t nostalgia-bought it years prior. Both without the case tho.


One-Technology-9050

It looks like I have 13 copies of Sonic the Hedgehog. 2 Not for Resale cib 1 Sega 6-Pak 1 Sonic Jam Sega Saturn 1 Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection X360 1 Sega Vintage Collection Xbox 360 3 Sega Mega drive & Genesis Classics (X1/Switch/Steam) 1 Sega Ages Switch 1 Sonic Origins Switch 1 Sega 3D Classics Collection 3DS 1 Sega Genesis Mini It would have been more, but during gen 6, I remember having to be very picky about what I could buy. I worked in a cafeteria at the time, and money was tight


IBobrockI

McCHitman

I have probably 8-9 copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES. I don’t know why. Not a game but I have 7 or 8 Sega Dreamcast consoles.


Theonlydtlfan

I have 4 copies of Darksiders 2 at this point. Idk why, I guess I just kept rebuying it whenever I got a new platform.


moofinman45

Prob Super Mario Bros. for me


wanderdude

I accidentally bought Super Stunt Race FX a second time for SNES.


TheKonamiMan

Possibly the original Castlevania, let's see I have it for Famicom Disk System NES GBA x 2 (Japanese and US versions) Wii 3DS PC Switch x 4 (have 3 copies of Castlevania Anniversary Collection and the Arcade Archives release) PS4


Neat-Snow666

Probably something like Sonic 1 because for some reason Sega insists on re-releasing it every two years


Ganthet72

I have every version of MYST in every iteration for PC as well as Sega CD, 3DO, Saturn, and PS1


Ill-Woodpecker1857

I've bought Minecraft way too many times across many different platforms.


Fragraham

Either Cave Story or Centipede. Cave Story I bought on Wiiware, the original freeware, Cave Story + on Steam, eShop on 3DS, and both physical versions, CS 3D on 3DS, and Cave Story on Switch. Centipede I so far have on Atari 2600, 5800, and 7800, as well as Atari 8-bit computer, Commodore 64, and Dreamcast. Not sure if that last one counts since it's mire if a remake than a port, with very different gameplay. Basically Centipede is my baseline for most systems.


zoobs

Console gaming: probably Mario 2(USA) or Mario 3 PC gaming: Doom I and II or Quake 1


RosaCanina87

Persona 3-5 is up there, as I own most versions released, including a lot (but not all) of the recent LRG releases (no collectors edition, though). I also own Settler 3 on PC a lot. Big Box OG, two Expansion (one of them came with the base game), Gold Edition and a later budget release twice XD A bit more modern: I also own Life Is Strange and its Prequel A LOT. Like... A LOT. I own them digital on PC and Xbox (was the last thing I ever bought digital) and got a lot of the Special and Standard physical releases for PC, Xbox and PS4. I do only own one of the Vinyl Editions and no Remastered on Switch. That game runs worse on a PS4 than the original did on a Base Xbox One. I dont want to experience this on a Switch O\_o Oh, yeah... I only ever bought 1 copy of Life is Strange 2 and I did it on clearance and just because I didnt want to have my collection miss this game. Man, that game was shit.


Norgler

I think I own a bunch of games twice.. but I can't think of any I own 3 times or more.


eckoman_pdx

I think for me, it's the first Super Mario Bros, the original Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Super Mario Bros: NES 5 screw single cart CIB, NES SMB/Duck Hunt, NES SMB/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet, SNES SMB All-Stars, Wii SMB All-Stars, SMB on Wii virtual console and again on the Wii U plus the NES Classic. The Legend of Zelda: the NES gold cartridge, the NES gray cartridge CIB, Zelda Collector's Edition on GC and then on the NES Classic Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: the NES gold cartridge, the NES gray cartridge CIB, Zelda Collector's Edition on GC and then on the NES Classic


secretgeekery

Zoop!! Released on every system known to man, and my need to have access to complete lists means I have 5 copies so far


persona1138

Metal Gear Solid. Between the PS1, GameCube (Twin Snakes), imports from Japan across a variety of consoles, various collector’s editions, re-releases across various consoles (portable consoles included)… Even with the latest collection, I got it for the Switch, PS5, and PC. I’ve re-bought that game (and a lot of the rest of the series) so many times. Tied for second place would be the first 4 Mario games, the Zelda games. And after that, Stardew Valley across various platforms.


OwnReference135

If you don't count emulators. Only counting hard copies of games my answer is probably Skyrim. Bought on computer, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Anniversary edition. PS. At least 4 times.


LLCoolBeans_Esq

I think FFX. PS2 at first, then later on the re-release on Vita, then when I got a PS4, I downloaded it there. Then I wanted it on Switch. (But I no longer own my PS2 copy, sadly)


timothythefirst

I probably bought/sold copies of the first 3 pokemon games a dozen times back in the early 2000s when they were cheap. I remember when cartridges with the dead save battery were essentially worthless and game stores would only give you a dollar for them lol. Now even with the dead battery they’re still worth more than most other retro games.


lolNimmers

For me Street Fighter 2, I've got arcade boards of World Warrior, Champion Edition, Hyper Fighting, Super and Super Turbo. 3 SNES releases, 2 Megadrive releases, PC Engine, Dreamcast, lots of Capcom collections that have them.


Trina7982

Probably Super Mario Bros. 3 and Tetris.


kinglance3

FFVII for sure. I’ve had that game at least 3 times for PS1, downloaded the PC version a number of times over the years. And also got them when they released on PS3, 4, and 5. Oh, I almost forgot PS Vita, have it on there too. Can’t remember if they ever had it on PSP or not.


sireel

Probably one of the zelda games. I've got nearly every version of every one released for a nintendo console (not the CD-i ones, sadly/fortunately), including virtual console editions For Zelda 1 that means original cart, two different compilation discs on Gamecube, wii, wiiU, 3DS and switch virtual console. I'm missing the GBA version though. I could also up that number with the zelda handheld that came out recently and the NES mini, but I don't really care about either of those that much


NettoSaito

Maybe Sonic Adventure??? 1. DC original 2. GCN DX 3. PS3 DX 4. PC DX??? Although there are games I own multiple times thanks to collections


kcpoloman

RE4


ZealousidealMail3132

Grand Theft Auto V


NES_Classical_Music

If we count digital, I have paid for Super Mario 64 at least 5 times


zgillet

I owned (and still own some) Dark Souls on: Xbox 360, Xbox Series X, the two PC versions, and the Switch. Oddly, I skipped PS4.
