    Default Small potatoes to some, but i just broke into the 800's!!

    I just broke into the 800's (805 to be exact) . All unique, and if i were to count my trading fodder, it'd be about 50 more. Now i know its small potatoes to some guys, but i'm proud of it. I avarage about 35-50 new games a month, so i hope i'll break 1000 by my birthday(July 4) .

    Dang, if only I could buy the sort of games I look for at such a frequency :)

    Whatcha collect? (In any case, that sounds like more than I could afford unless you're getting insane deals at garage sales/thrifts, so nice going!)

    Hello Geekdom !
    Heh... I hit that a while ago too.

    I've basically decided I won't let it get any bigger, just better! So when new must haves come in (be it classic or new), something has to go. We'll see how long it lasts.

    I need 463 more to hit 1000.

    537 for me so far.

    I been mostly concentrating on newer games I actually want to play lately, but I do pick up a few oldies once in a while. Today I got a supposedly (So I'm told) Canadian Sonic the Hedgehog. (Label is cream colored with line drawings on it. [ IMG ])

    But mainly it's been newer games. Especially for my Cube and new GBA. (I have all four Super Mario Advances now. And I crave more. When and where's #5?? Me wantie more!)

    Great job! I just broke into the 350s myself, but hopefully I'll be in your shoes sooner or later.

    I just broke... 60.

    Yeah, I've been a gamer forever, but just a beginning collector.

    Anyways, good luck towards reaching 1000!

    Congrats!

    If I were to think really hard, I can remember having around that many games. Then I nearly sold off everything and I'm pretty minimalized anymore. I only have what I really care about or want to play, which is 200 nes games and 40gcn games. Wish I had some GBA games to go with it but I'm too cheap for it. I've got sprinklings of other systems but not much. Maybe I'll find a hot deal at Goodwill and be right back up there soon

    I'm happy with my collection being 7 away from 200 at this point myself.

    Good job. My collection floats around 200 titles. I get a nice collection and then a large expense comes up and I have to move some things on eBay. Such is life.

    that's alot of money to be spent. I know I have spent a butt load of money, and I am only at about 500-550 at the most.
