And for anybody who doesn't know how this goes, I'm gonna quote Joe since his explanation is better than mine would be:


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.

Here's the milestones I've reached so far this month:
-Got my 940th game tonight, thanks to Bonanza Brothers on the Genesis.
-Passed 180 NES games tonight, thanks to BreakThru. I'm currently at 182.
-Also, my NES collection surpassed my SNES collection (currently at 181), making it my largest collection for any system.
-Thanks to Othello, I now have an "A to Z" NES collection (where there's at least one game for each letter of the alphabet. The NES is also the only system I have an "A to Z" collection on.
-Got my 10th Dreamcast game earlier this week, thanks to Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

[DigitalSpace]

Thanks to the purchase of Top Gear Overdrive for the N64 this evening, I now have 200 racing games. You can view a list of what I own here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=454623&postcount=1).

[icbrkr]

Well.. I may have technically hit the milestone on Christmas 07, I'm just now posting it :)

The wife presented me with "Jetson's Way with Words" for the INTV which completes my US Intellivision collection (including all homebrews). The only thing I'm missing is Super Cobra and Tutankhamn which are Euro releases.

[DigitalSpace]

Recent milestones:

-Passed 950 total games in late January, thanks to Lego Star Wars: The Video Game on the Gamecube. I'm currently at 951.

Just added my 1,000th game with Raider of the Lost Ark for the 2600. I have a few more, but 1,003 isn't as notable as 1,000.

Yay e!

[Nebagram]

100th Playstation game acquired last week- Blast Radius, a much underrated Colony Wars-esque game.

[DigitalSpace]

Two milestones today:

-200 NES games, thanks to Bee 52.

[DigitalSpace]

[DigitalSpace]

Well, I got my 1000th game today, which was Zanac for the NES. I'm currently at 1001.

[Nebagram]

[jimalex]

Hi, i'm a newbie from the U.K., i just got my 450th Genesis/megadrive game. I also have 75 snes games and 60 master system games.

[ncman071]

just hit the 400 game milestone. i own a hair over 400 console games ranging through around 15 systems.

[Nodtveidt]

Earlier this year, I had acquired exactly 100 US titles for the TurboGrafx-16, incuding some of the rarer and more expensive games such as Bonk 3 (hucard, not CD), Terraforming (which was sealed), and Dungeon Explorer II. Unfortunately, I had to sell many of them. :(

[thetoxicone]

I just realized that I reached 100 xbox titles but I have no clue what bumped me over the total (I've never paid too much attention to that).

[Trevelyan]

reached 50 N64 titles today. (All but 4 are CIB w/instructions. The majority are V good condition. All PAL. 4 r5's amongst them, all these complete.)

[Nate Nanjo]

I hit 260 PS2 games excatly. I lost count of my PS games, so I'll have to reorganize it. To know how many games I have total.

[Evilhead]

I acquired my 1,300th game yesterday.
It was Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers for NES.
It's a loose /w manual, but who cares. It's Chip & Dale!

Oh, while I was writing this, postman (who is actually the worlds cutest postgirl) rang my doorbell, and presented two more games: Street Gangs (or River City Ransom for you Americans) for NES and Golgo 13 for NES, so the total game count is now at 1,302. That doesn't sound as cool as 1,300. :(

[Mercapto]

Just had a quick count while reorganizing.

40 N64 games complete
60 GC games complete
All PAL.

It's not a lot, but it's a start :)
Got the GC games from several lots, and I only got 5 doubles (which I didn't count) and those'll sell easy enough.
Hoping the double those numbers by next week :)

[DigitalSpace]

I reached two milestones today:

-1100 games, thanks to Dragon Warrior II for the NES. I'm currently at 1102.

[Nightwing]

Well - I'm still going through the process of cataloging my collection,and I hit a milestone of over 1000 games the other day.But the real reason for this post (and my own personal milestone) is:

Thanks to fellow DP'er DaveD,I am now the proud owner of 100 Complete In box Intellivision games. I got Sewer Sam off of him,along with a loose Turbo.With some eBay stuff & online buying - this number should go up by a bit. But,needless to say I am very happy :)

[ErmangelnSeelen]

I know this seems kinda tiny to most, but since I'm just starting out....

I got my first R7 the other day with Herc's Adventures PSX, probably my first truly "rare" game

[darkhades]

2 more recent milestones

50 PS2 games with the addiition of Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al-Revis.
75 CIB N64 games with the addition of Kirby 64 & Buck Bumble.

[SegaAges]

I just got my Jack Bros, which completes my complete NTSC VB collection (I am not even trying for demos, I think this is good enough for me).

This is the 2nd complete collection that I have now. I have all complete N-Gage games and All complete VB Games.

I also have the hard case for vb as well, which means since I have all of this complete, pictures will be coming.

[Sabz5150]

Got my 50th GB/GBC title (Kirby Tilt N Tumble). It's got an accelerometer similar to the Wiimote and WW Twisted in it. Neat :D

[DigitalSpace]

Recent milestones:

-1150 games total, thanks to CT Special Forces 2 (GBA). I'm currently at 1155.
-110 PS2 games, thanks to Raw Danger.
-40 pinball titles, thanks to Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (PS2). I'm currently at 41.
-20 DS games, thanks to Meteos.
-10 SNES R6s, thanks to Aero The Acro-Bat 2. You can see a full list here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1269299&postcount=6), which also includes the other R6s (and the four R7s) in my collection.

EDIT (9/9/08): I didn't think this was worth a new post, but Contra 4 (DS) put me at 1160 games.

[namzep]

Milestones that I've reached over the last few months:

100 Atari 2600 games (currently at 135)
100 Gamecube games (currently at 108)
80 Genesis games (currently at 80)
30 Commodore Vic-20 games (currently at 33)
25 PS1 games (currently at 26)

I'm also only 25 games away from hitting 1,000 which I expect to around the end of the year. Still trying to think what I want to splurge on for that 1,000th game. Thinking a Neo Geo MVS with Puzzle Bobble or Metal Slug (maybe both).

[SegaAges]

I just did it today.

I hit 1000 games according to IGN (I have not put Spore in there).

I was at 999, then bought Spore, that puts me at 1000 games. I definately see this as a huge milestone for me.

I was thinking about what I would get for the 1000th game, but then all the good games just started happening (Titan AE Demo disc, Jack Bros).

For my 1001, I will get a Starfox 2 Repro. I was trying to hold out to have it for me 1000th game, but I just really wanted Spore!

[DigitalSpace]

I got my 10th NGPC game yesterday - Puzzle Link 2.

I'm not sure how much the NGPC collection will grow from this point. I acquired my camouflage blue system at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in August and it quickly became one of my favorite portables of all time. However, the system has a small library and I've acquired most of the games I've had an interest in, so we'll see where things go from here.

Also, my NGPC collection is the only one where the majority of the games were purchased online (six were purchased from Amazon, and the other four from the expo).

EDIT (9/15/08): Another "not really worth a new post" milestone: God of War II (PS2) puts me at 1180 games.

[DigitalSpace]

I got my 60th Game Boy game yesterday - Boomer's Adventure in ASMIK World. I also got my 20th Dreamcast game recently, which was TNN Motorsports Hardcore Heat.

[ANONPLOX]

-Finally getting a Neo Geo AES and Neo Geo CD AES (and getting a copy of Magician Lord (AES Cart) FREE!!!!)
-Nearly completeing my collection of Fire Pro Wrestling games (just need the first 3 for the SNES including FPW X Premium, The first 3 on HuCard, The Gameboy Advance copies of FPW2 (US), FPW A/A2 (Japan), and I think the only one left is for Wonderswan)

If I could only remember how many games iv actually had before my current purchases (including trade ins and whatnot) id probly have over 1000 games myself. Also do trade ins and used games count towards the total?

[namzep]

[GnawRadar]

After this weekend's South Jersey Classic I have reached over 300 games! 309 according to my RFGeneration account and even though this isn't much compared to some on these boards, I'm pretty happy.

[GnawRadar]

After getting Star Ocean: Till the End of Time complete in box as a christmas gift, I now have every Squaresoft/Square-Enix title released on PS2 complete in box, with the possible exception of one or two of the Final Fantasy XI expansions. I'm also pretty close to all of the Squaresoft PS1 titles, all I need is SaGa Frontier and Legend of Mana and perhaps a demo disk or manual or two.

[DigitalSpace]

My last milestone of 2008: 260 NES games, thanks to Ghostbusters II.

My last achievement came a couple days ago with 40 Wii games with the addition of Alone in the Dark. And I also got 20 DS games when I purchased Contact, Disagea DS, and N+ at Gamestops B2G1 used game sale.

[DreamTR]
