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.

[Giskard]

I hit the halfway point for NES this weekend.

I passed 100 PlayStation games tonight. I'll give the honor to MediEvil. The current total is 103.

And with that, the PlayStation is the fifth system I have at least 100 games for (the NES, Genesis, SNES, and PS2 are the others).

[Swamperon]

I hit the 100 total games mark today! 100th games was Harvest Moon GBC.

Small fry I know but it gives a me a small sense of accomplishment. :)

[Game Freak]

Well, in the past two weeks the NES overtook the PS2 as the system I have the most games for, at 83, compared to 78. Sorta funny, cause no more than two years ago i had fewer than 15 NES games.
Two weeks ago the Super NES had also overtaken the GameCube with 50 games, with GC at 49.

I also i got:
My first 5200 game, Pole Position, two weeks ago,
MY second non-Atari, non-Activision game for the 2600, Atlantis and Cosmic Ark (the first was Coleco's white Donkey Kong cartridge)
My first Q game, Q*Bert on NES, which leaves me missing an X game
another rendition of Monopoly (Genesis), which brings me to 7 now:
NES
SNES
Genesis
Game Boy
Game Boy Color
Nintendo 64
PC (as Monopoly Junior)

[DigitalSpace]

100th downloadable game, counting XBLA, Xbox Community, PSN, PS1 classics, WiiWare and Virtual Console was SMS Sonic 1 off the last of those listed services. :) #101, predictably, was SMS Sonic 2 and later today once I cash in some club points for wii points, SMS Sonic Chaos will be #102.

[ncman071]

[VACRMH]

Just cracked 1400 games recently.

And to think I was trying to keep it at 1000... ugh.

Another "Milestone" for me is that I finally got every game added into Game Collector. Took a long time but it was totally worth it!

[DigitalSpace]

I got my 40th Dreamcast game this evening - a sealed copy of Incoming. Yesterday, I got my 110th PlayStation game - CyberSpeed. And last week, I passed 1330 games, thanks to Blood Omen 2 for the Gamecube - which also put me at 80 Gamecube games. The current grand total is 1334.

[Nebagram]

1200 physical games total- Secret Agent Clank for PSP being #1200. A while ago I passed 200 Nintendo and Sega games at roughly the same time (as in 'published or developed by...' rather than simply 'on their consoles'), can't remember which ones they were though.

Last week or possibly before I passed 750 total games, with an entourage of poor PS1 games...

I passed 90 NES games last Sunday, with Gumshoe. Also passed 70 (but technically less due to PSM) PlayStation games. Also got my first few longbox cases with Johnny Bazookatone and NFL GameDay, as well as my first Saturn games with Virtua Cop and Virtua Fighter 2

Finally, got my first Master system game with Hang On and Safari Hunt

(probably not gonna keep the latter 3 games though, as well as my Game Gear games)


In other note, i got two more AVGN games: Friday the 13th and Dick Tracy. Jackal was also featured once in his Power Glove episode.

[SegaAges]

[deltoidsteep]

Not as big as some of you guys but this year i passed the 500 game mark. Somewhere around 540 now on over 30 systems.

[Wookie]

7,305 as of today. Why is this a milestone? I can now play a different game every day for the next 20 years. The 05 on the end of that number covers the leap years :)

[Game Freak]

At (past?) 777 games with Gyruss. Not counting the 3 2600 Star Wars games I got just yet because the labels need cleaning (they're awfully sticky for some reason?)

[DigitalSpace]

[Balloon Fight]

Just passed 900 total games. Currently at 925.

Also forgot to post that I got a Neo Geo AES about a month ago. Been on my wish list for around 4 years now.

[Retrogenesis]

I finally managed to get the big 3 Sega Mega CD games, these being

Fatal Fury
Batman and Robin
Samurai Showdown

I know need 5 and then I have the complete PAL sega mega CD collection!

[RASK1904]

Over 400 Nes games this year. I now have over half of every Nes game released in the US. It's gettin harder to find stuff. I see stacks all the time of 10-20 games but usually I have all of them. I do still need some cheap commons. Just haven't wanted to pay for them. Picked up some goodies this week though, Dusty Diamond, Uncharted Waters, Zoda's Revenge and a couple more. Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball is a fun game!

[bcks007]

1,200 ps2 games, a few days ago. :)

Gonna be stuck there awhile me thinks..

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Learned how to solder and bought my first 2 arcade games. I've always wanted an arcade game for my own. Nothing's cooler than having an upright machine in your house.

[Nebagram]

200 PS2 games! :) Disgaea 2 marks the double-ton.

[DigitalSpace]

I got my 170th Genesis game recently - Phantasy Star IV (and with that, I now have each of the first four Phantasy Star games).

[SegaAges]

I am waiting for it to come in the mail from newegg, but I now have every single physical copy Sega game for 360 (Virtua Tennis 2009 was the last one that I needed)

[portnoyd]

With Spiderman finally here, that completes 32X. This makes it our 9th complete collection. #10 should be done this time next week. And that'll probably be it for a considerable amount of time.

[Game Freak]

My friend gave me two NES games: Wild Gunman and Gotcha! The Sport. This brought me to 783 games and 100 NES games, making it my first system with 100+ games!

[SuperFamicom83]

With Spiderman finally here, that completes 32X. This makes it our 9th complete collection. #10 should be done this time next week. And that'll probably be it for a considerable amount of time.

you have DarkXide? I know its a PAL exclusive...

[portnoyd]

Aaaaand a 2 week late shipment from a CTCW seller, US SMS is finished, boxed. Sonic box is PAL, but I don't care that much.

To answer SF83's question, US 32X only.

Next goal: Game Gear (Achika's quest) and US NES CIB (My quest, 220 boxes, 140 manuals to go).

[Balloon Fight]

Finally broke the 300 mark on NES. Currently at 301. Going to give credit to Little Samson as I've finally got a copy of my 2nd favorite NES game of all time. (behind mega man 2 if anyones curious)

[Carey85]

I'm currently at 540 Atari 2600 cartridges. Pretty happy with that number, considering that I started with a shoebox full of carts about this time in 2002.

[Balloon Fight]

Just hit 950 total games spanning all systems. My most = 317 NES games.

Hoping to break the 1k barrier within a couple months.

[Swamperon]

Was just re-reading this thread and realised I passed 100 games at the start of this year. Passed 150 a few months ago, meaning I bought about 56 games this year, barring any unexpected christmas presents.

Not too bad for a student I think, living on around £3000 a year with other purchases/having a life factored in. :D

[buzz_n64]

Passed the 1,000 game mark this summer. Have 173 NES games. Got my first proto-type this year- Alien vs. Predator for the Atari Lynx. Made 4 video game reviews for youtube this year and helped on another.

Next year I plan on doing a video game collecting documentary, maybe have others on it from the San Diego area, I just need a better camcorder to work with.

[tubeway]

Next year I plan on doing a video game collecting documentary

I fully endorse this idea. I imagine it would be the first. Go for it.

[Platinum]

Let's see....

I reached over 650 games a month ago.

I finally recieved my 60th console.

I'm a step closer to obtaining every kind of atari. (just got the 5200)

2009

[Balloon Fight]

Current total of NES licensed games = 340. Officially broke the halfway mark a couple days ago. Halfway to my goal of a complete licensed set = happy BF.

[DigitalSpace]

My last milestone of the year was getting my 40th 2600 game - Krull. Currently at 43.
