Collecting Milestone Thread 2004

[digitalpress]

We've all got our milestones, whether it be "game number 1000", "complete collection x", "obtain all Activision cartridges", etc.

Each time you reach a milestone this year, enter it into this thread. It should be fun to check back in a year later to see what kind of progress we all made.

Who wants to go first? I haven't hit a milestone in awhile but I've got a few coming soon :)

[MarioAllStar2600]

I reach my milestone Thursday night. Finish the new gameroom. Its going to be so pretty. The sheetrocking is all done. So I start spackling tonight, tommorow, and wendsday. Paint thursday then I can start moving stuff in. WAHOO!

I also want to get 5 arcade machines (total) by the end of the year. I already ahve 3, and im working on my 4th.

[hydr0x]

i'm not absolutely sure as i haven't counted in a while but i must have reached 500 games during the last 2 weeks

[badinsults]

I hope to get my 100th snes cart this year. Only need 20 more.

[udisi]

well I already stated this in another thread, but I reached my 1000th unique game last week.

[Red Warrior]

I've reached a few milestones so far this year. Well, I s'pose you could call them milestones. I do anyway.

I reached 1000 unique games for my collection just a few days ago. Another milestone would be me FINALLY buying a Genesis after all these years. Never thought I'd ever own one, but I'm glad I finally do. A third milestone would be getting my very first Sega Master System game... which is Sonic the Hedgehog from some other country that's not the U.S. That may not be a milestone to some, but to me, it's a big deal.

Here's to another successful year of gaming full of rare finds, quality imports, and two new Metroid games! :cheers:

[Jasoco]

Reached 500 games a few days ago. Can't find the receipts to figure out which random PSX game it was, but I made it.

[VinnyT]

Only 19 more games to go until I reach 100 Genesis games.

Then i'll sell all the games I really don't want.

Also, to find a working copy of Pirates Gold!.

I found one last year, but after I brought it home, I realized that it was an empty cart.

[Dangerboy]

As far as recently, I guess finally aquiring all the released Laseractive hardware would be a milestone.

I'm less than 45 games away from 4,000 total. Seeing how I missed all the other milestones (1k, 2k, 3k,) I am very psyched about NOT missing this one.

...

Does sitting through an entire JB Harold Murder game count? LOL

Jason

[Querjek]

I got my first proto yesterday.

[Nature Boy]

MILESTONE #1
Picked up a handful of VCS commons (to celebrate me re-arranging my games room this past weekend) which put me over 100 for the system (107 to be exact). That's my first 100+ game system.

MILESTONE #2
....to be determined....

[Rogmeister]

I haven't reached any milestones yet but some I hope to try for...

Complete set of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine
200 SNES games (I think I'm only about a dozen away from this)
200 PS1 games (might not reach this in 2004 as I need over 60)
100 Dreamcast Games (about 2 dozen away)
...and buy an Xbox...maybe...

[tynstar]

I reached 1000 unique games. I dont know what # 1000 was but most likley a Genesis game.

I also reached over 400 boxed Genesis games. I hope to be over 600 Genesis games by the end of the year.

[Qixmaster]

to keep building (even when i'm not motivated) my nes collection. I am at about 500 different games, about half of them boxed (this does not include variations and what not.... with those, its more around 530. I hope to keep getting boxes and instructions for games i already have that need these. That's about it

-Josh

[gamergary]

Going to try and break 300 total games and get 10 more japanese game guides.

[eolsen]

I don't have any so far this year, so I'll just put down some goals:

1. 150 unique SNES games...about 90 now
2. 75 unique Genesis games...about 30 now
3. 100 unique 2600 games...about 50 now
4. Complete my 32X collection
5. Get a SMS, DC, TG-16, and Intellivision

and just add on to everything else in my collection and make more of the room game oriented

[TRM]

I want to get 400 NES games. I wrote a list of around 60 titles that I wanted to get this year--if I can get all of them, I'll be close to reaching my goal for the year.

Dave

[ubersaurus]

I'm about 60-70 games away from hitting the big 1000. I'm also halfway there to getting all the vis games, and I couldn't be sadder about it!

[Achika]

I obtained a complete Official Dreamcast magazine (plus all discs & sleeves) back on the 16th....

[Dahne]

Got my very first games for a system I don't even own. Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega CD and King's Quest IV for...some sort of old computer, or something.

Also rearranged the game room so it looks much nicer. True sign of geekdom: "Hmm...Would "Legend of Zelda" go under L or Z?"

[Jasoco]

Also rearranged the game room so it looks much nicer. True sign of geekdom: "Hmm...Would "Legend of Zelda" go under L or Z?"My first game for a system I didn't own yet was the Saturn 3-Pack. The Saturn didn't arrive for over a month after.

Anyway, I begrudgingly file the two Zelda's and other games under the first letter of the entire title, sand the word "The".

The Legend of Zelda is L.
The Adventure of Link is A.
Bart vs. the Space Mutants is under S because it's actually under "Simpsons".
But Krusty's Fun House is under K because it actually ends with "Starring The Simpsons".
Then Startropics is under S while the sequel is under Z for "Zoda's Revenge: The Story of Startropics II".

I could go all out and put all Zelda games under Z, all Simpsons under S, etc, but I wanna be correct. And order them the same way my listings order them. Damn the game creators for naming their games so differently!

Organization was my first milestone of the year. Nearly all of my games are now on some sort of a shelf or stacker, and all my systems (save the non-working RCA Studio II) are now hooked up and ready to go.

The previously mentioned kind of an alphabetizing mess is why I organize my NES carts first by distributor (Nintendo, Konami, SNK, etc.), then age. Which means that the black-label Nintendo releases come first, followed by the silver-label ones, then the rest. Konami's silver labels are first, then the rest. Data East carts are all together, black-label LJN carts are together, Tengen carts are together, etc, etc.

This system works a lot better with my Genesis and Master System carts, the majority of which are boxed. White SMS boxes are first, in age order (which I check via the last five main digits of the UPC codes). Then comes my sole Activision SMS game (Rampage, baby!) in its red box. Then the Genesis row starts with the early black-grid boxes, then the later ones, then moves on to the later red-stripe style. Then the EA cardboard boxes, then the EA oversize, then the Accolade/Ballistic cardboard...whoo! I didn't realize how tedious that actually is! @_@

They look much better on the shelf that way, though.

Next milestone: Getting all or most of the earliest NES carts and peripherals that I can, from 1985-1987 or so. (Save for Stadium Events, which I'll happily deny the existence of. :roll: )

After that: Building up the SNES collection, though I really don't want to shell out what I think it's going to cost to get the good stuff. Hopefully I'll get lucky this summer...

[swlovinist]

Well well...it has been quite a year for me.

1. I not only got to be featured in Tips & Tricks Mag(Jan 04), but also got to be featured in Video Game Collector #1.

2. Topped 3600 different games as of late, with 45+different systems

3. Down to 8 games for my US Nes set, half of them are complete

4. Acqired Powerlords for my Odyssey 2 set, 6 more and I have them all for a US set!

5. I have a boxed and complete US 32X set!

6. Down to the final 15 for Sega CD!

7. Acquired two Astrocade protos, Galaxian and "Solar"

[Balloon Fight]

I just passed my first goal which was to get a game that was realeased in Europe for NES but not here. By the way, it is Parasol Stars. :)

[PapaStu]

Well last night i in a sense hit two milestones...

First i pushed 400 PSOne games. I went on a cheapie weird game spree and came out with 9 games from 3 stores costing about 30 bucks... pushing me to 403 PSOne games and 1/3rd of the way to a full NTSC-U library!

and the second which isnt really as much of a milestone as much as it was a finally found it, The insert to Mega Man 8 Collectors Anniversary Edition... which has been a thorn in my side for far to long....

[Dangerboy]

Just hit the 1200th US PSX game. WEEE! :D

[neuropolitique]

Anyway, I begrudgingly file the two Zelda's and other games under the first letter of the entire title, sand the word "The".

The Legend of Zelda is L.
The Adventure of Link is A.

I've always filed The Adventure of Link under Z, for Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

Milestone for me is getting organized. Got my entire collection cataloged, found a decent storage solution, and narrowed my collection to only handheld/portable devices. Looking forward to a good year.

neuropolitique

[Arcturius]

I'm only 6 away from all 216 PAL Dreamcast games (well 5 really but one is missing a cover so I don't count that one)

[jose.yoshitake]

I'm 2 original NES carts away to the 100 mark...

[GamecubeFreek]

I just reached 300 games this past week. I also reached fifty NES games about a month ago.

[Arcturius]

Second milestone though not a huge one just hit 50 PAL Saturn games (Winter Heat was the 50th)

[dreamcaster]

Just got my 200th game today (Worms for Saturn).

I know my collection's still small, but I am proud of it nonetheless.

[Arcturius]

Everyone has to start somewhere I'm as proud of my collection now as I was when it was just starting up. It's not how big the collection is that matters it's what it means to you.

[Jasoco]

I haven't gone on any Collecting runs in a while. I just haven't been able to get into it lately. Which is good. There have been severe cutbacks at work, and I'm down to only a few days a week. So I have to save money.

So I'm only going for what I really want. Animal Crossing is my latest and hopefully will keep me occupied. Of course, I'll have to make another NES/Genesis/DC/etc run before GS really does get rid of the games.

I even had to hold off buying that Famicom SP I so really wanted. And not just because the Importers raised the prices because of Nintendo's newest boneheaded move.

[DDCecil]

Started at 1178 games at the beginning of the year, I have now past the 1300th mark, and I'm now at 1334 (not counting label variations or extras). Now to see if I can finish up my Sega CD collection...

[§ Gideon §]

Pssh. You guys have nothing on me, as I am now officially a Level 2 Strawberry.

Seriously, though, here are some realistic milestones I hope to accomplish. I'll come back later if things come to fruition:

-Construct arcade cabinet
-Complete SNES collection
-Top secret project
-Level 3 Orange

[Jasoco]

Boo-yah, Grandma! Boo-yah! Level THREE! Right there, baby!

:P LOL

Workin' my way up to Level 4!

Edit: I'm literally halfway between 3 and 4 right now!

[Dangerboy]

Mission: "4k in 2k4" Complete!

4,002 games in the library. 4,000th was (if you count down the register receipt) would be Battle Arena Toshinden 1 (Not for Resale version). A rather honorable choice considering I am 43 away from the entire PSX US library. Yay!

Speaking of fruit, When do I get my cherry? : )

41 more posts, buddy. 41 more posts.

[Goodwill Hunter]

Completed my NES collection tonight...at least in terms of carts. As an NWC cart, Stadium Events or any of the 3 Panesian games will likely only enter my collection if I find them in the wild, I have probably added the last domestically released NES title I didn't have to my collection.

The last game I needed was Romance of the 3 Kingdoms II, so I splurged on a complete copy and won it on Ebay tonight (go out in style, I guess). I'll still be looking for books and boxes, as I'm currently just under 500 for both, but unless I hit the jackpot, any future NES acquisitions will only be going to the tradebox.

Satisfying :) ...but at the same time, just a little sad. :(

Rich

[Cmosfm]

Once I get 10 more NES games I will be at 500!

Can't wait!

:D

[Mayhem]

Minor milestone... now managed to get all Sierra C64 carts complete following acquisition of box/manual for Sammy Lightfoot (check the rarity list, it's a tough one to find!).

[Balloon Fight]

I just reached the 100th mark on different NES carts. Woo hoo! :)

For the record, it was Life Force.

[MarkMan]

Not as impressive as other milestones reached. I recently started seriously collecting in December and a few days ago hit my 300 game mark. The 300th game being Bubble Bobble(NES); complete. :)

I hope to hit 500 before year's end.

Join the club. :) I hit 300 in January, and now I'm at 340ish. Hopefully I'll be at atleast 550 before the end of the year

[jose.yoshitake]

Yo!

500th game reached!

[tynstar]

A milstone for me has been reached. I have not bought a game in weeks. :o

[FlufflePuff]

I finally passed 100 unique NES games and completed my set of Tengen carts with a Tengen Tetris (very happy about that one). Also, I'm just two carts shy of getting every Square game released on a Nintendo system. :-P

[Jasoco]

[FlufflePuff]

Yep, both 1 and 2.

[digitalpress]

My first 2004 milestone, though trivial, is also pretty unusual. I completed my Sega Pico collection on Friday.

http://www.digitpress.com/images/pico

[Jasoco]

Yep, both 1 and 2.Good. Because that's probably as close to a complete Square collection as I'll get until the prices on the FF games drop for the NES. Though, I do have a bunch of the Final Fantasy PSX games. My brother's a freaking FFFreak!


My first 2004 milestone, though trivial, is also pretty unusual. I completed my Sega Pico collection on Friday.

http://www.digitpress.com/images/picoThat's not trivial to me. I've been meaning and wanting to start a Pico collection. I currently have no funds to fund a collection like that, but when I do, I'll start on the Pico if only just to brighten up the shelves and make people say, "Whoa... what the hell are those?" "Sega made that?" "I had that as a kid!" "Whatis that? Some sort of Leap Pad?"

[drwily008]

I've had an excellent 2004 finding several nes games Iv've been looking for. Starting a great SMS collection, and my FINAL FANTASY ORB!!

[qbertandernie]

is that the big box pico system or the small box pico system? big box came at the expensive price when the system came out, small box i saw at ames for $39.99

[scooterb23]

The only thing I'm working on in my collection right now is to get back a copy of all the Atari 2600 games I had as a kid. I'm doing this by hazy memories...but I think I've got the list correct.

And, I am just 6 carts away.

Atari Video Cube
Harbor Escape
Artillery Duel (single ender) - I have a double ender, but I'm trying to be correct about this :)
Pooyan
Skiing
Tron Deadly Discs

and I need a better copy of Fire Fly. :)

If I get this done, I'll put up a picture...the Atari 2600 was the system I cut my teeth on, and the games I had then are still my favorites...and I want them all back. I want this done more than you know.

I'm also going to work on shifting the focus of my collection. Basically, I don't want my collection to get much bigger. 1,300-1,400 games is enough...I'm happy with it.

But, I have a lot of games I don't like very much. It's the price you pay for buying everything you find I guess...so I'm going through and playing most of my games, those I don't like, are going to be traded away (hopefully) for stuff I want. You'll know when I'm ready...

This is actually a hard decision for me...I loive video game collecting, but I don't do enough playing...probably because I don't enjoy much of what I actually have.

I have decided that I'm not going for any major complete collections...so it's time to vote out the weakest links in my collection :)

[StarKnightX]

I hit a kind of a milestone last saturday. I managed to find my first ever game.com games. I've had the system for about a year or two , but this was the first time i ever found any of the games , i actually found five of them , frogger , centipede , williams arcade classics , indy 500 , and jeopardy , even better , they were all mint in the box.

The other thing was that i found both the system and the games at KB toy stores.

Ok so my milestone is kinda a crock compared to most of the ones in this thread , but hey , its progress for me.

[undead455]

I just hit 500 games today woohoo 8-)

[Cobra Commander]

I just broke the 400 game mark.
The game: Final Fantasy Origins. Yay me.

[sisko]

Just broke the 500 game mark 8-) ...kinda...

I've got over 500, but there are several I really don't care about, and will be selling shortly, which will put me back under it ^^;

[jerkov]

After PhillyClassic last weekend, I hit 400 NES games. Actually, I have a few more than 400, but I haven't updated my Excel spreadsheet of games so I don't know the exact number. I'm also not sure where this brings me in terms of total games.....I'd guess somewhere between 550-600 games.

[drwily008]

I got my first prototype (pac-man jr. for the 5200)! I also started a 5200 collection w/a bang including Star Wars: Death Star Battle and about 30 or more great games. I also organized my game room for the first time in like a year.

[Mythik]

To work on my NES (about 160 unique titles with ~1/4 complete) /SNES/Genesis (both in their infiancy with about 20 :[ ) collections

[§ Gideon §]

I'm peachy.

AND, I've run out of boxes to store games in! Filling the last one felt great!

[Drexel923]

After months of fluctuating up and down, being so close then so far away, I've finally hit the 500 mark. :D The 500th game was Defender II for the NES. I'd like to thank Gamestop and their current buy 2 get 1 free sale for making this all possible today :hail: LOL

I also recently finished my first game room (well I still need some more small things) and pics will follow in the coming weeks. Get prepared to be amazed. 8-)

[Famidrive-16]

- Working on my game room as we speak

- got a Sega Saturn

[KirbyStar27]

I reached my 250th game mark, and 150th snes game!

[Balloon Fight]

I started collecting PS1 longbox games. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and it has finally happened.

I also am organizing my game room right now. Including alphabatizing it. What a chore.

[DigitalSpace]

I just reached my 50'th SNES game. :)
For the record, the game was Super R-Type.

[turtle]

Finally hit 400 NES carts with the arrival of 'Bee 52'. :D

[FlufflePuff]

I found a complete copy of Sunday Funday to finish out my Wisdom Tree games. :) Dorky? Yes. Semi-crappy? Yes. Sacrilious...mmm...

[le geek]

I finally got an import PSOne a while back, and just got my first Vectrex :D :D :D :D

SWEEEET, CREEEEAMEEE VECTREEEEEXXXX...

uhm, or something :eek 2:

Ben

[DigitalSpace]

I recently passed the 100 mark in my collection. For the record, the 100'th game was Earthbound for Super NES.

As of the date of this post, I am at 102 games total, which consists of:

55 Super NES games
15 N64 games
14 PS2 games
12 PSX games
6 Gamecube games

Feel free to view the my game list, the link is in my sig.

[Speedy]

Passed the 250 :)

And passed the 50 Megadrive games

[Balloon Fight]

From now on I'm going to get something each month that is either something I've been wanting for a long time or a really good find I made.

This month so far it has been X-men vs. Street fighter ($20) for Saturn and Namco Pac-man for NES ($2). I have been craving them both. :)

[tynstar]

I reached the 1100 club!!! And for the record it was some Genesis game.

[PapaStu]

I couldn't stand the fact that I was sitting at 496 PSOne games for almost a week. went to EB to try and find some decent stuff. I came out with some Meh stuff, but it put me at my mark. I now have 500 PSOne games. Thats alot in its own rights, but when comparing it to the entire run, im still only at 38.97% (current count is 1283). I need 143 MORE just to hit 50%.... :eek 2:

Either way, 500 games is a milestone, and 500 for a system is its own milestone. I am proud either way.


Stu

[JB Lars]

Well, I'm a copy of The Next Tetris away from a complete NUON catalog. With any luck, that'll be rectified by year's end.

[FlufflePuff]

I'm heading out now to get a copy of Snow Brothers. It'll complete my NES Capcom set. 8) Yay me. :D

Oh, and nice avatar JB. :)

[snorter]

Hmmm...around 975 Genesis/Megadrive games (view them on my website), and enough 32x/SCD to put me over 1000.

Snorter

[DDCecil]

On 5/12, I reached my 1,400th game: Super Mario Advance (Import version). Next goal is to finish the Sega CD collection (or not...)

[StarKnightX]

Just this past week i finally crossed a few milestones points for a few of my systems.

N64 - Over 50 (currently 52). Game(s) that put me over , WCW World Tour , Nitro , Mayham , and Backstage Assualt. (Can you tell im a wrestling fan :P)

PSX - 120 , Games that put me over , WCW vs the World , Misadventures of Tron Bonne , Rage Racer and The Unholy War.

GBA - 60 , Games that put me over , Wolfenstein 3D and Iridion 2.

Horray for me :)

[Dangerboy]

Just finished the playstation library. :D
1270 games.
After a long financial break, will most likely track down the lightspans and demo discs.

Yay.

[BoosTDIt]

Congrats Danger... :D

[LazingBlazers]

I acquired US Dynastic Hero today, and I now own all of the official release TurboGrafx CD games. I still need Magical Chase, Bikini Girls, Hawiian Island girls (and if you want to get technical... the CD+G disc that came with the CD add-on) to own them all, but I'm still sittin' high right now. Here's hoping for no blunders on my part, no psycho bids on eBay, and a little bit of luck before the end of the year!

[Usagi Mylene]

I swore to myself that I will get a Sega Genesis this year. Not only did I finally get one, I got it with about 7 games and a Arcade Joystick.

Another one was finally getting my hands on Dance Aerobics for the NES. Whenever one would pop up on ebay, I would always get outbid.

:D

[Duncan]

Update on current status, for the year-to-date:

* Passed the several-hundred mark (on all systems combined) as far as individual games go. I'm not very organized yet.

* Got an Xbox, the Sega Combo Pack model (with Sega GT and JSRF). Already have about 10-12 games for it, too.

* Got a Sega Saturn from a friend, in very good shape. Came with Sonic 3D Blast, Virtua Cop 2 (disc-only, sadly) and the Stunner light gun.

* Won an Intellivision II and 20 games (some with boxes) on eBay for about $24 total. VERY happy about that purchase, assuming the console works.

* Picked up some tougher finds for the SMS - RC Grand Prix (by Seismic) and Zillion II.

* Edged several games closer to having all the original black-label NES carts. (I'm not going to hunt my ass off for Stack-Up, though.)

* Found an early-label copy of Altered Beast for the Genesis - which, easy as that should have been, was something of an ordeal.

* Stumbled upon my first 3DO games (for which I have no console yet - but then, I did the same thing with the Saturn).

* Managed to keep my 1987-vintage NES running without too many blue screen incidents - and got SMB3 working for the first time in years, after some heavy-duty cleaning.

Goals for the year:

* Buy the PS2 I've been promising myself for quite some time, so that I can really enjoy GT4 when it finally comes out.

* Find a goddamned switch box for my RCA Studio II - I'm really anxious to play a crappy game of Bowling. Don't ask me why - childhood memories, I guess.

* Complete the set of both Nintendo black-label and Konami silver-label games for the NES.

* Work on my SNES collection, which has been both neglected and pushed aside for quite a while. Don't need boxes; just need carts.

* Decide whether or not to keep the boxes for my N64 games - they take up lots of space, but they look so good on the shelf.

* Get a ColecoVision, with or without (preferably with) ADAM.

* Find a six-switch Atari 2600 for cheap - no $200 eBay "rarities" here.

* Find Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (US release) for SMS. This may end up being a lifelong goal, I fear. :o

* Complete a cross-referenced list of sports and driving games across consoles - it'll be my contribution to the DP pantheon, if you'd like. :)

There's probably more I'd like to do, but that's enough to keep me busy this summer.

[dbiersdorf]

Let sees the only real goal I achieved so far this year was I got my 100th GameCube game. 6 months ago I told myself I would get 110 games, and currently I am at 108. Hey, I'm only 15, so I'd say its a pretty good milestone seeing how my parents won't pay for video games anymore.

Some goals I plan on acheiving:

- Finishing off my Virtual Boy US Collection by getting Jack Bros. but also at the same time manage to get one rare Jap. Virtual Boy game.

- I would like to get 50 Game Gear games by the end of the summer.

- I would like to get the complete Jaguar collection by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 200 GameCube games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 50 complete games Nintendo 64 games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 100 Super Nintendo games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get a boxed Genesis 2 and a 32x, and maybe a CD by the end of the year.

[DigitalSpace]

I now have 70 Super Nintendo games in my collection. Why is this a milestone? Well, back in January, when I only had around 20 or so SNES games, I made a goal to get 70 games by the end of the year. Got there a lot faster than I thought.

For the record, the 70'th game was NCAA Basketball, purchased for .50 at a local pawn shop.

How many SNES games will I have by the end of the year? We'll see...

[Kamino]

well i just passed the 400 mark for games collection-wide...1 game to go to hit 70 on nes.....just passed 60 on 2600...passed 20 on genesis....ive got a long long way to go to get all the games i want.

[Balloon Fight]

Forgot to post this, but I finally got a Colecovision with some games. I've been looking for one forever and I finally got one. :)

[Atarian75]

[Nez]

My mild milestone

Finally found Battle Toads Double Dragon nes in the wild 8$!

and now I have the Complete Panzer Dragoon Series: Panzer Dragoon, Zwei, Saga, Orta OWNAGE!

[Jasoco]

Well, funny story. The other day I passed 600 games. With a total of 601. The 600th game was Mortal Kombat 3 complete in Long Box for the PSX.

Then two days ago I am doing some sorting and I discover I missed some PSX games!

Then I go through the N64 games. Then the Genesis games.

In the end I find a total of 11 games I had MISSED in my colelction pages. In reality I had 612 games and passed 600 a few weeks before!

I dunno.. Not sure what the actual 600th was now.

Strange thing was what games I actually missed! And not just stupid forgettables, among them were Final Fantasy VII, (Which I've had for YEARS) Comix Zone, (One of my FIRST Genesis games. How I missed that one is beyond me.) then the N64 games shocked me. StarFox 64, Smash Bros! How the hell did I miss all these games!? Well, glad I went through all of them.

Oh well.. Only 88 more to number 700. I'm sure of THAT one.

[DreamTR]

I want to have 10,000 games by the time I am 30. I have 2 more years and about 2,700 more games to go =/[/i]

[-hellvin-]

Just passed 650 games this week. I collect slow but just about everything I have is complete. And I finally bought a nice storage rack for it all.

Goals:

Reach 300 complete NES games by the end of the year.
Get a new job =D.

[sporkster]

I finally got the NES I promised myself I'd get this summer.

Now my goals are to get a ton of NES games and get more SNES games.

[DigitalSpace]

I just got my 20'th PS2 game, which is Q-Ball: Billiards Master.

I've been finding quite a few games lately that were either launch titles or released early in the PS2's life for around $5 or so, including:

Smuggler's Run
Midnight Club
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Q-Ball Billiards Master
Twisted Metal: Black

I've also bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Midnight Club II complete for $5 each. I'm pretty sure both they were at that price due to the discs being a little scratched up. I've played both for hours with no skips or anything, so those were some really nice finds.

Next up, I'd like to get 20 PSX games (I'm currently at 16), and 10 GC games (currently have 8) by the end of the summer. And I'd like to have at least 100 SNES games by the end of the year.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I want to complete my Atari 5200 collection including Multi cart and homebrews. I already have Meteorites thankfully but how I will get Bounty Bob Strikes back is beyond me. I need about 30 games including test cart homebrews and us releases. My other goal is to hit 2000 games by the end of the year, and get my ebay store started.

[Jasoco]

I found DOOM for GBA the other day. To me, that's a milestone. I'd been after that forever. Still looking for DOOM II and Duke, though.

[dethink]

sold all my current gen consoles except for my PS2/GBA.

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)

started collecting NTSC-J mega drive stuff this weekend...i already have 19-20 games on the way, and i'm probably going to sell the PS2/GBA stuff to fund this, and not buy anything past the golden age of cartridges.

snagged an N64 with 3 out of my 4 favorite games (mario., mario kart, blast corps), so with a copy of star fox 64, i should be set for when the MD gets old. :D

[Exo]

I have reached a small milestone. I have 259 games,finally got a sega master,and have over 20 gamcube games now. I am 1 game away from reaching 260 game and 1 ps2 game away from having 30.

[dethink]

double post.!

[the_wizard_666]

Although I haven't sat down and counted every game I own, with the arrival of my complete NES Uncharted Waters on Monday, I reached 130 unique NES games...small compared to most people here, but when I went 5 years without buying anything incomplete and without buying online, it's something for me to sit back and say "Aahhh!!!"

[scooterb23]

Finished a milestone a couple weeks ago.

Thanks to Slipdeath, I now have a complete Game.com collection.

Unfortunately, the next day...my Game.com died :o :(

Well, it was faithful for about 3 years...need to go buy a new one I guess...

[Jasoco]

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)I would think you'd sell the GH versions and only keep non-GH ones. Seeing as they'd be worth more later.

[cracked8ball]

Reached the 100 NES game mark a few weeks ago. Since I've started to collect Genesis games now, I'd like to reach about 100 games by the end of summer.

[dethink]

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)I would think you'd sell the GH versions and only keep non-GH ones. Seeing as they'd be worth more later.

nope, i sold 'em...i decided working on the MD collection and paying some of my newly acquired debt from purchasing his and hers powerbooks down a bit. yes, i'll probably be kicking myself later on down the road, but alas...scoriing about $40-50 each wasn't too tough to swallow.

[DigitalSpace]

I've passed the 150 mark. 151 games total as of the date of this post.

[Balloon Fight]

Just passed the 150th NES game mark and 460th overall. Not bad I must say. :)

[Kamino]

[anagrama]

Dropping through my mailbox this morning was my 250th Sega Master System game - Summer Games.
Just another 30 or so Euro releases left to track down...

[DigitalSpace]

I just reached 20 PSX games this week. The 20'th game was Jet Moto 2.
I also got my first PSX longbox game, V-Tennis. And since it's an R7, it's also my rarest PSX game.

[Policenaut]

Well, I reached 500 games last week, so that's my first milestone, second would be completing my US SMS collection (15 left to complete it), third is to complete all TG-16 HuCards, then the Genny and Sega CD collection.

[pr88cjb]

Suddenly my collection looks really small... :embarrassed:

Reached 100 PAL Mega-CD titles about 2 weeks ago with the arrival of the Samurai Shodown demo CD. About 20 more to go by my reckoning.

Also bought my first SNES last week, so I suppose that could count as a milestone too!

[tynstar]

Hit a few more Milstones.

1) Over 1200 different games
2) Completed my Sega 32X library. All the games are complete.
3) Have 50 X-Box games.

Hopefully after this week end I will have overe 1300 games.

[Son of Bael]

I now have a complete Euro NeoGeo Pocket Color collection (all games complete), which i finished about a month or so ago 8-)

Just bought my first $500 game O_O

Now have 500 games 8-)

Aiming to have the 20 best US NGH carts by the end of the year (currently have 11)

[jwl]

I just passed 100 Complete GBA games :D thanks in part to Cicuit City, where i got 30 the other day. I really like collecting GBA because its still cartridge its my favourite of the new systems to collect for right now. I think thats the only milestone I got recently.

[Kamino]

i just passed the 500 game mark and the 25 system mark. yay me.

[Quickclaw]

The 50 mark for NES games was reached at 11:13 this morning.

[DigitalSpace]

Today's purchase of a loose copy of Granada puts me at 20 Genesis games.

[Nicola]

Just passed the 2000 mark!

[robotriot]

Yay, 300 games! Way to go :)

[DigitalSpace]

I hit 200 games a couple of days ago. Number 200 would be Tetris 2 for SNES. Currently at 203 as of the date of this post.

My Gamecube collection reached the 10 mark last week as well. Luigi's Mansion was number 10. 13 total right now. Yeah, it's not much, but until I got my GBA on Sunday, all my systems were in the double digits.

[portnoyd]

US Virtual Boy Collection Complete. All games CIB.

Next target, a cardboard box game.com with Lights Out to complete game.com.

Then Genesis or 5200, which ever carts needed pop up first (Genesis - Miracle Piano, Romance III, Uncharted Waters; 5200 - Bounty Bob, Meteorites, Zaxxon, Kaboom, Rescue on Fractalus).

dave

[Crush Crawfish]

Just hit 1000 games! Well, 1009 actually. My 1000th was Gex 64. :D

[Dangerboy]

FInally finished up the 32x library. Yay!

Not sure what to tackle next.

Jason

[LazingBlazers]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

Yes, I am now the proud owner of EVERY SINGLE professional release game EVER released for the TurboGrafx-16/CD/SCD! All of them. The MindRec titles, the Excite titles, all the TurboChips, all the CDs, and all of the SCDs. When this thread was initially started, my first thought was that this was the post that I wanted to make. I'm glad it's now a reality.

[dreamcaster]

Recently I got my 250th game.

Slowly but surely I guess....

:o

[le geek]

Got a Colecovision (in box!)
Got a Neo-Geo Consolized MVS!!!!!

Put Xbox purcahse on back-back-back burner with above "scores"...

Cheers,
Ben

[tynstar]

I broke the 1300 different games mark!!

[pixelsnpolygons]

Alright, I'll go. I don't have any major milestones coming up in the near future, but this time next year I should have some VERY tasty milestones. Unfortunately all of my resources are going towards things that don't really benefit the bulk of any of my collections so they're all just kinda sitting stale. However, I should have a nice payoff within 6 months at which point the collections will really start rolling in. 100th GameCube, 100th Xbox and 100th PlayStation 2 - over 40 game systems and over 1000 games will all be milestones I'm expecting to pass. Complete (or at least up to date) kiosk disc collection for Cube is something I am close to as well.

Actually, I'll consider it a milestone if I get all of my crap in one spot - failing that - a dozen spots NONE of which are on the floor. @_@ Seriously though, it should be a great 12 months for me. I can't wait to check back here.

[Goodwill Hunter]

In the midst of reorganizing my gameroom, I've been totaling up my finds from the last 4 months. They had been stacking up in random piles, but I've finally got them all entered into the gamelists on my handheld. I'm guessing I hit my goal of 4,002 unique games in 2004 by the end of May. As of today, my collection totals 4,196 games. I also completed my longbox Playstation collection. After chasing a few phantom titles, I believe there are exactly 102 longbox titles. I'll be posting a list and pics in a separate thread. If you have a longbox game that's not on the list, better come armed with pictures, or I ain't biting!

Rich

[AFGiant]

Not much of a milestone, but my NES collection surpassed my PC collection today (I had the most games for PC before this). One more step for console gaming!

[-hellvin-]

Passed 150 genesis games today! Genesis is about to pull ahead of NES! I'm about 15 games away from the big 1,000.

[VinnyT]

Suprised I never updated my milestones.
http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v51/VinnyT/Video_Games2.jpg

Got 100, I believe i'm at 106 now.

I'm trying for a complete U.S. Virtual Boy set now.

[-hellvin-]

Just surprassed 1000 games today in my genesis collectiong odyssey. Reached 179 boxed games, almost all complete. Go so many more to go!

[Policenaut]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

Man, I congratulate you on that amazing milestone. I just recently passed the 600 games mark, just need 11 SMS games to have the entire library and my next goal is to to finish the Turbografx-16/CD/SCD collection.

[Azazel]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

That's pretty good. I only got up to 500 games where I sold most of my stuff.

[Dangerboy]

Congrats on the TG Collection. I have everything but th elast two Bikini CDs, but I don't count those. Complete collections are a beautiful thing.

Today I hit a huge milestone:

I FINALLY got my PlayStation Yaroze! :D :D :D

Once I get the new copy of Win95 back in and get my old, old, PC back online, I will create a PSX Develpment center and see if I can program something.

For now I took tons of photos and stuff so I can added it to the PlayStation perfect guide.

Anyone up for a homebrew one paddle pong? :)

[max 330 mega]

i guess this wouldnt really be a true milestone but it is for me,

recently my local gamecrazy came across a copy of house of the dead original for saturn, so i obviously freaked out when i saw it and wanted it, but the clerk said he would have to hold it for me because there was no listing in the computer for it. so i came back next week and asked him how much it was gonna cost me, he looked around, and then whispered to me "the manager told me to give it to you free" i thought my head was gonna explode.
ever since i picked up my saturn just as it was declared officialy dead a month later, i have been looking for that game. and how sweet it is to have a mint copy handed to me for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHH
I LOVE YOU GAME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D

I passed 300 NES Games yesterday. Since I bought about 7 at once I'm going to give the honor of 300th game to Power Punch 2 (with manual). So I've got my Wisdom Tree games done. Color Dreams is almost there. AVE is ugh. And I'm about halfway on Tengen. So my unlicensed collection is almost complete. Does anyone happen to have a link to a list of all the unlicensened NES games released in the US? I've tried doing a search on it before, but with little luck.

[davidleeroth]

I passed the 1300 mark today. The honors go to PSX Colony Wars - Red Sun.

[SegaAges]

I will hit a milestone this weekend. I will be putting my html skills to the test and I finally got my room of doom pics, which means a uber crazy, badass room of doom page.

[tynstar]

I just passed the 1500 game mark. Also passed the 550 Genesis game mark.

[Duncan]

Completed a rough database of my game collection last week and committed it to Excel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, if you count a few demo discs, the whole set tops out at about 400 individual games (I don't collect variants, generally, so those are all unique).

I've also got a nice big stack of game magazines needing to be cataloged (three years worth of EGM, two or three years of OPM, a complete set of Tips and Tricks Codebooks except for the latest one) and a whole pile of nice freebies gleaned from company reps over the past six years.

Before the end of the year, I wish to own a 2600 (or 7800) and maybe a ColecoVision if I can swing them both. Otherwise, I'll just settle for the DS I'm planning to get on launch day.

[izret101]

260 different games.
Approx 282 total games.
Want to make 300 by the end of the year.

[Kamino]

cleared the following marks;
100 nes games
100 vcs/2600 games
50 Genesis games
750 total games
75 snes games!

[qbertandernie]

oh how big my dreams were...

i ended up buying a second house instead, so that, coupled with some charity i am kind of strapped for money; hence, not many new games...

maybe ill complete several collections next year....im pretty close(within 50) on several systems. a couple im within 5...

[thegreatescape]

Finally got to 100 Mega Drive games (101 at the moment). My goal was 100 before november 7, which would have been the 2 year anniversary of collecting.

The games that tipped me over were: 688 attack sub, LHX, f117 and Buck rogers. IM just gonna say it was buck Rogers because its a great game :D

[VinnyT]

Wow, it took you 2 years for 100.

It took me 10 1/2 years.

Is Mega Drive just REALLY common in Australia?

[DigitalSpace]

I have 15 games counting Halo 2 LE :-P i am picking up tonight.

[Emily]

Milestone #2
I got an arcade cabinet! I never thought i would own such a thing! Double Dragon Rules!!!

My first milestone was finally getting a Vectrex last year -_-

[robotriot]

Precisely two months after the 300 mark, I got my 350th game yesterday (Project Gotham Racing 2)! I doubt I'll get another 50 in the next two months though :/

Funny, but I got my 400th game today, that's only 2 months and one day after I posted this :D

[tonki]

Neat subject. I'm starting to learn about some of the "specialty" forums on DP and I like them! I've reached a bunch of goals, none bigger than my NES cart milestone which I've dreamed about since I started collecting back in '99 :D

Reached 700 unique NES games (750 seems a lock for next year).
Reached 200 2600 games (like 230ish now)
Got my first 4 Zellers 2600 boxes
Completed my 2600 Activision standard label collection 8-)
Got my first table-top games (Turtles, Stargate, Galaxian, Galaxian 2)
Broke with my 2600/Nintendo roots and picked up (gasp!) Sega systems: SMS, Genesis, Game Gear and my most advanced system yet... a DC! 8-)
Got some notable complete VB games: Jack Bros, Water World, Nester's Funky Bowling. Hope to complete VB NA next year.

It's been a good year for me. :D

[izret101]

With this great purchase http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=trophies;action=display;num=11009943 43
I am up to 55 Complete NES games and 107 total NES games (118 with doubles).
Also puts me up to 300 games.
All three of which were made when the storeowner reminded me he was holding Bee 52 for me.

Also got my completed my 10th console, the Super NES Donkey Kong Set, and 10th comic, XIII.

[Time]

Well, I finally hit 1,000 games. :D Actually I'm now at 1,001. This was my goal for 2004 and I've finally achieved it. However I'm counting 151 doubles. Looks like my goal for 2005 will be to get to 1,000 different titles.

[FlufflePuff]

Are you saying you can't amas 150 games in slightly less than a month? What is this world coming to?

I'm just teasing by the way. I passed something that isn't really a milestone, but kind of cool today. My collection value on IGN passed 13,000. I know that's not actually what it's worth, but if I ever have a fire that's the list and value I'm going to show to my insurance company.

[max 330 mega]

not really a milestone, but i got my first $100+ neo geo AES title yesterday, KOF 2000.

[Emily]

Well, I passed the 300 mark.

[fergojisan]

I have been not-too-actively trying to get the 2600 games I had as a kid, all boxed. What's that, you want the list? Okay:

Combat
Space Invaders
Sky Diver
Human Cannonball
Adventure
Video Pinball
Maze Craze
Warlords
Asteroids
Missile Command
Defender
Berzerk
Pac Man
Pitfall
Kaboom
Haunted House
Star Raiders

All I need is Adventure, and then maybe I will start replacing the cruddy boxes that I have. So if you see a boxed Adventure on eBay, please don't bid on it. Thank you.

WOOHOO!!!!

Finally, I got Adventure off of ebay. Thanks to everyone for not bidding on it.

At last, after 10 years, my very first collecting goal has been reached!

Just got the last 4 sealed US Dreamcast games, NFL 2K, NBA 2K1, ESPN NBA, and Tomb Raiders Chronicle to complete my complete sealed US Dreamcast collection, 5 years in the making, though not as challenging as Neo-Geo, I put in the same effort finding prestine copies.

I still have 15 games that I need to find prestine copies (my current ones of those 15 have either cracks on the case, or rip/tear on the seal).

[Cobra Commander]

Finally. My 620th game just happens to be my 200th NES game. What a wonderful day. The game that put me there was The Hunt For Red October.

Hit the big 3 double 0 today. Actually, at 307 now. That's 57 games in 3 months and one day! Here's to another year of collecting :cheers:

[izret101]

Closing in on
100 NES games(1 short)
25 Genesis games(1short)
25 SNES games (4 short)
25 Systems (5 more to go)
250 games (approx 20 short)

260 different games.
Approx 282 total games.
Want to make 300 by the end of the year.
Broke almost all of those goals

I have over 100 NES games
Have 25 Genesis games
And i have over 300 games now.

I have 21 systems now.
21 SNES games

I am buying my cousins SNES stuff off of him soon so that will put me around 30 SNES games.
I also might get my grandmothers which will out me between 35-40 games.

Other smaller goals i have accomplished recently
15+ PS2 games
10 GCN games
20 Xbox games
15+ DC games
5 GBA games
And i have gotten almost 3/4 of my systems boxes.

[mikeetler]

It came down to the wire, but today I picked up my 300th Gamecube game. To put it in perspective, my 100th game was back in Feb and was Wario Ware. I kept 95% of purchases to new games under $10 and most used for under $7. There were a few more expensive additions (ie Donkey Konga, MC Groove Dance Craze being the most at $45 and $40) but my average cost per game is well under $10 a piece. Number 300 was a little of a splurge as Alien Hominid would be tough to find for under $30.

Well.. it's the first day of 2005 today.. so in a way.. the original intent of this thread is now "moot" (Hmmm.. maybe we should start a new one for 2005?).

Anyways.. I finally reached game #500 today! (See the link in my sig.) At the beginning of the year.. I just wanted to reach #365 (I figured I wanted a game to play for each day of a year.); but i really went apesh*t with my buying; and soon surpassed it.

I'm seriously thinking of scaling back for awhile, and perhaps concentrating on an "aspect" I know nothing about or own nothing of.. "memorabilia". Any suggestions on where to start? I really wanted that Klonoa "plush doll" on eBay last week.. but couldn't see myself shelling out $50+ for it (ESPECIALLY since I don't even have the game yet either.. it's a bit "spendy".). Right now.. I've got my sights set on a Vagrant Story comic book though.. it's a bit cheaper; and might make a good start.

[VinnyT]

I got an r8 on the 28th, so it still counts.

[Slipdeath]

Well im almost at 100 games AGAIN. I was at 500 at one point. *Puts head down and starts to cry* :( :( :(

[izret101]

I didn't think i would make 300 by the end of 2004.
I had 310ish and after i got a package on the first and an early birthday gift from my cousin i have almost 325.

I hope to break 500 in 2K5!!
