Why don't you have more games?
pinzach:
Doing this as a poll on my site since I'm wondering what the percentages are on the big reasons (space, spouse, $$$, etc). Please click your reasons on my blog/poll at...

Also, if you wish, describe the details here on the thread. The poll is good because of the numbers it draws to collect the data. My last poll (consoles you owned) got a smattering of anecdotal answers on the thread, but over 220 answers to the poll on the blog. Starting to collect a nice amount of interesting data.
Also have added a new Arcade game wars....Galaga won the last one over Tempest, T&F and Centipede.

BTW. I love the game of the day posts. I added a couple of those gems into my MAME cabinet.

Pretty much just money.
As a single guy in his 20s without a girlfriend I have plenty of time and space to own more arcade related stuff.
On the other hand I'm unemployed or working low hours most of the time so I really have to stretch my budget. In years past I went through some hard times because when I was flush with cash I ended up spending it on stuff that wasn't a necessity and regretted it later. Now, I'm extremely tight with my cash and pretty much won't buy anything arcade or electronics related related unless it's dirt cheap. Like less than $5 cheap. You'd be surprised what you can get if you wait around and know the right places though.
Turnarcades:
Simple, it's a space issue. My house is small, so I don't even have my own arcade system of any kind at home. Crazy when you consider my job! I am building a collection of retro systems and stuff but they will only be displayed at work, which luckily for me is where I get to play games too!
I think the space issue is a common one, particularly with those of us with a missus or who generally have smaller homes (ie. Inner city Brits), but at least Turnarcades' compact designs are trying to get round that!

I have space, money, but TIME is what I lack. I guess this could be under Spouse category, but she's not the issue, all the stuff on my list to do is the issue. Some is wife, some is family, some is house, some is yard, some is work, some is extended family...
Need more TIME! Gimme.
Also, great site, I enjoy it.
