    I've got EE's of BG1, Sod, BG2, and IWD, the betas of BG1 and IWD, and IWD2.

    I have an EET install, so everything in one, and an IWDEE waiting to be integrated into the first. I don't play the IWD, just prepared for IWD-in-EET. So how would you count that?
    I also have an old BGT game on an external drive that I can't change anymore because I lost the original game discs meanwhile.

    In that case, you should have picked option 6 no?

    You have vanilla and EE games so option 3 ;)
    But option 3 says I can't decide which one is better. I can - EET is far better than BGT, and that means something because I loved that game for years.

    Old computer I have:

    Can I cheat and add Fallout 1, 2 & Tactics from GoG

    PST from GoG
    BG, BG2, IWD and IWD2 from CD install

    BG:EE, SoD, BG2:EE and IWD:EE from Beamdog (I have PST:EE but not installed on that machine)

    So 12 in total.

    @lefreut No, because I have IWD2 as well. So its not just the EEs.

    At most, I've had 7 active installations at the same time:

    BG1:EE + SoD
    BG2:EE
    IWD:EE
    EET with everything installed
    EET with less stuff installed
    EET with very little installed
    IWD2

    And I thought that I have a lot with 13 :p
    I have a habit of keeping previous versions. It only takes around 100GB of my 1TB drive, so I'm fine so far. :)

    Lessee, BGEE 1.3 and BGIIEE 1.3 from the Mac App store; BGEE, BGIIEE, and SoD from the iTunes store for my iPad; IWDEE via Steam; PSTEE from Beamdog; vanilla BG and BGII on an old lampshade iMac OS9 and OS X 10.3.x respectively (in the attic, but still). So that’s 9. If I ever start modding, send help. And a spare exabyte hard drive.

    I like the EEs, no reason to deal with the hassle of getting those old games working on a modern system with a 4k monitor hooked up, plus they run on Linux without screwing with something like GemRB.

    I paid for all the EEs, but I've never been able to get more than an hour into planescape before I lose interest. IWD, I've only gotten to about the halfway point before I'm like "Ya, I don't care what happens next" and stop playing. I guess PS:T's setting never grabbed me. To me, IWD was just like Durlag's Tower without end, just dungeon crawl after dungeon crawl without any story or motivation for doing anything. No matter if it's the original IWD, redone in NWN2, or the EE, IWD is just boring as all hell to me. There's just no story or interesting companion dialog, or anything to motivate me to keep going, just "Go do the thing because the game said so." The Baldur's gate games, I've played the hell out of, though. I even love Dragonspear. I feel like I should like PS:T, but every time I try to play it, I get an hour in and say to myself "None of this has been fun, why am I playing this?" Even with the EE fixing the craptastic right click, I still just can't get into PS:T.

    I guess I technically have the GOG versions of all the games, too. I just never bother installing them with the EEs, anymore.

    All the EEs plus IWD2

    I don't play any other videogames at all, so my entire collection is Infinity Engine games!

    edit: lies! I have Temple of Elemental Evil installed but I haven't played it in years and years and years.

    I just have the EEs on Steam. Bugfixing, new characters, additional content and all that was cool. But the real awesomeness was being able to just start the games up in Steam and not having to swap CDs all the time.

    Uh... pretty sure I have a copy of every game, EE and original. So that’s me, I guess?

    bg1 ee bg2 ee, ps tee on steam and iwd ee on gog. i rather have the versions that are gonna get support and most modders focus on them these days anyways and they run so much better.

    BG1 EE, BG: SOD, BG2 EE, IWD EE, PST EE installed. I own all the classic versions, though.

    On Windows (All GoG):
    BG1EE 1.3 Modded, BG1EE 2.3 Clean, BG1EE 2.3_NoSOD Modded, BG1EE 2.3 Modded, BG2EE 2.3 Clean, BG2EE 2.3 Modded, IWDEE Modded, IWD2 Clean, IWD2 Modded, PSTEE 3.1
    Setup for Modding Android: BG1EE 1.3, BG2EE 1.3, IWDEE 1.4.

    On Android: BG1EE, BG2EE, had to take IWDEE off to fit PSTEE on. Don't really play on Android any more though; screen too small.

    I only removed the originals last year. It was a hard decision as they have been on the various systems I have owned since I first got them (like losing an old friend)... but with the EEs, I just wasn't playing them anymore. Perhaps I will put BG on again in December for its 20th Anniversary!

    EE of the BGs and ID. While I like Torment, I don't like it quite enough to get the EE.
