I think most I had at once was around 75 games. I've stopped doing that and mostly game with a group of friends now.

I've been at 50+ before. It depends a lot on the game. Games have varying degrees of memory and varying strategic scopes. A game with very limited memory and a small strategic scope you can just look at the board and work out the best move (Chess is a game like that which is why simultaneous displays are so common). But games with a memory component (ie prior moves affect your behaviour) are much more difficulty, I would not want to play more than 1 or 2 games of Love Letter at a time, as are games with a large strategic scope (something like Unconditional Surrender is ill-suited to playing many simultaneous games).

Exactly, in some games like chess or yahtzee or can't stop all the information is visible on the board: you don't have to remember anything.

Personally though about 35 games at once is my maximum.

I've been over 100 turn-based games at the same time on multiple occasions, but depending on time of year(how busy I am) between 70-110 is my norm. Never all unique games nor the same game, and a variety of weights, ranging from Alhambra/Carcassonne to ark nova/Gaia project. Its about balance and variety :-)

I have been as high as 120 I think. Currently I keep it at 30-40.

Like others say, a lot depends on the games being played. Having tens of games of Barrage and similar games at the same time would be very tough. On the other hand, lighter games like Next Station: London and Battle of Lits are very easy to keep track of your moves, so you can have lots of them going at the same time.
