Do you have any specific gaming goals for 2010?

[Zthun]

Mine:

1. Get to 20k+ Gamer Score
2. Learn how to create snes reproductions for japanese games.
3. Get as close to a complete US DC collection as possible.
4. Get the rest of the systems on my want list.

Do you have anything planned for 2010?

[badinsults]

I think my goal is going to be to try and scan as much of my snes stuff as I can, then pack up the cream of the crop before heading back to school in Australia.

[Daria]

1. 600 RPGs. Only 60 to go. :P
2. Buy a TurboGrafx this year.
3. Panzer Dragoon Saga (or Earthbound)

[Hawksmoor]

1. Play more of what I buy.
2. Get my collection organized.
3. Buy some systems I've been wanting for a while (Vectrex, Amiga CD32, Wonderswan)

[Rickstilwell1]

1. Get a job so I can actually buy more game stuff
2. Weed out the bad games I still have left to go through
3. Finish beating the games I've completed many times for my videos and finally move on to uncovered ground
4. Start fresh in my way of buying games - only getting ones I will think I would like and actually play them till I get bored of them when I get them. Emulation, video watching, genre search, game series search and ratings will help me select new titles.
5. Get the other systems I'm really missing out on, like at least 1 form of C64 and Amiga.

[buzz_n64]

Yeah. Totally.

1. Somehow get more hours at work, or get a job with more hours.
2. Get my most wanted games first, then work my way down the list.
3. Get a freaken wii finally so I can continue my Mario collection.
4. Finish the game review video I've been putting off, and do my other game video ideas.
5. Go to at least 1 gaming convention.

[Guru of Time and Space]

[kupomogli]

I'll try to get much simpler goals.

-Complete a lot of my backlog.
-Finish more games I haven't finished and try going to my favorites less often.
-Learn how to romhack and try to atleast starting making a game(whether I quit early on or not is a different story.) I'd like to either do a remake of Castlevania or Castlevania 2 with SCV4 gameplay or would like to translate Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together for the SNES(and since I know no Japanese, I'd be using the PSX version as reference.)

[mnkysuit]

Just a few gaming goals for 2010.

- Re-purchase a good chunk of my collection that I sold off two years ago.
- Get BitThirsty.com off the ground.
- Finally pick up a PS3.
- Participate a little more on the DP forums.
- Organize my current game collection

[eskobar]

My one and only gaming goal for 2010 is

- Play


It sound stupid but this year i barely played one game until the end, Suikoden II ... and it was my second time with the game.

I hope 2010 will be a year where i can schedule a couple of hours a week.

[Raedon]

Complete my Neo-Geo CD collection

Attempt to find a working 1581 drive without spending a fortune.

Give the new Final Fantasy a chance by ignoring all the fanboy rhetoric and giving it an honest try.

Finish some PSP JRPGs

Buy a new PS2 to replace the dead V9

Stay away from the Xbox 360 for another year and quietly snicker every time someone posts about theirs dying. That should be good for a couple of laughs a day. Keep my spirits up.

[j_factor]

Play this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhsE6qdQr1g) over and over. (Note the song playing.)

[chrisbid]

the biggest goal for 2010 is for my wife and i to buy a house. if this happens, the room of doom will have to make the move as well and be rebuilt from the ground up.

i should easily pass 4000 games in 2010, though game buying will continue to take a back seat to my baby daughter and savings to the new house

i would like to pick up a famicom disk system and a sega mark iii/jpn master system

i will continue to fill in holes in my saturn, sega cd, genesis, master system and game gear games

i will continue to fill holes in my various pre crash systems

[norkusa]

My only goal is to sell off my entire cartridge collection. I'm happy with emulation and with stuff coming out like the SNES/NES Power Packs, I really won't miss any of it.

Won't be easy though. Been working on selling my NES collection since late October and I still have around 600 carts left. And I haven't even touched my Genesis, 2600, SMS & INTV collections yet either.

[Aussie2B]

Last time I did this, I picked about the easiest goal possible, and I still managed to completely fail at it. :P All I really wanted to do in 2009 was finish off the few games I started in late 2008, and I still have the two main ones left. Apathy for the games has been my main problem, but I still really want to get them off of my plate and shall aim for that once again. Here's to hoping I won't be making the same post on the cusp of 2011.

As for new goals:

Give my stuff a thorough dusting.
Finally get around to Star Ocean 4, probably just in time to put off Resonance of Fate also, haha.
Beat the last few GB/GBC games I haven't played through yet, so I can move on to more GBA games.
Consider the length and content of games before I start them so I don't get overwhelmed by playing nothing but long-commitment games.

Hmmm, that's about it. I'm not too concerned about buying. I won't pass on great deals of course, but with limited space and more than enough to play, I don't foresee buying loads of stuff.

[hbkprm]

lost planet 2 (dispite the fact they pushed it back today)
alpha protocol
bayonetta
and i need a job first

[tubeway]

1. Weed through all of my old games and sell off the titles I'll never actually play.
2. Weed through all of my consoles and accessories and sell off the duplicates (or repair broken items).
3. Set up one of my two Xboxes for emulation.
4. Weed through all of my video game magazines and sell off or give away anything newer than 2002, and get rid of duplicate issues. Get them all bagged and some boarded.
5. Archive all of the games I worked on, and store them away. Scan or take pictures of the memorabilia I collected working on various titles and put it online.
6. Develop at least one XBN title.

[Fuyukaze]

get gemfire for the nes
get wizardry for the ps2
get neves and touch detective for the ds
actualy sell something from my sell thread
get saikano for the ps2 limited edition

[DDCecil]

- Get Power Lords for Odyssey2 so I can complete the U.S. collection.
- Get a Japanese PS2.
- Attend CGE2010.
- Start rebuilding my collection with games I'll actually play.
- Finish up DDL and release it to the masses.

[jdc]

1. Only buy current gen games when affordable and "gotta-have" status. In other words, hardly any at all.
2. Be content with playing a large portion of my 154 (and constantly increasing since they're really affordable) Xbox games.
3. Ditto with my PSX, PS2, DC and Cube games.
4. Introduce my 8 yr old son to the retro side of gaming via our NES, Atari and Genny.
5. Reach level 3000 with equally proportionate cannons in Pirates on Facebook. ;)

[SplashChick]

- Catalog my backlog so I can actually what what it is my gaming goals should be
- Fix or replace my FDS unit
- Get a TG16

That's about it until I finish the first one.

[JSoup]

-Beat many of the games that I currently have listed as incomplete (68 games at current count).
-Get a cheap PS3.
-Get a better container for my collection. Maybe one that I can organize it better with.

Container? What are you using now?

[JSoup]

Container? What are you using now?

A cheap four shelve tower that I got a few years ago. It has enough room for me to put everything in, but not enough to make it easy to sort through. I've actually migrated a few games to a small book shelve I wasn't using for the purposes making my more commonly played games easily accessible.

[SplashChick]

Well, I've found that some upright CD racks work great for cartridges, if that helps.

[JSoup]

Well, I've found that some upright CD racks work great for cartridges, if that helps.

I never thought about that. Actually, now that it's been brought up, a majority of my collection consists of games that have jewel or DVD type cases, all of which would fit neatly into a CD rack.

A friend of mine took all of her disk based games and placed all the disks in a CD folder, then stored the cases in a box elsewhere. Great space saver, but not all that attractive (and, in my opinion, it makes theft far too easy).

[snes_collector]

Stop buying so many games. I've got pretty good at it, and I don't want to buy anything unless I really want it this year. I'm outta room with what I have/don't play.

[SplashChick]

I keep saying this too but then amazing deals pop up again.

Oh well.

[VG_Maniac]

Try to get off my butt and play through some of the games that I've bought that just sit on my shelves.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Finish my multicade (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mhanlen1/sets/72157622516605766/). That's about it.

[SplashChick]

Source?

Another bandwagoner, man, you're SO cool.

[megasdkirby]

Probably get an Xbox 360.
Get over 100 Playstation 3 games (already have 60)
Close the gap on Atari Jaguar games.
Get Sonic for SMS w/UPC (hahaha!)
Save as much money as possible by being the biggest cheapskate imaginable.

[PapaStu]

Oh what the hell,

* MOAR DS games
* MOAR Benno towers for sed DS (and 360/Wii/PS3/PSP) games
* Actually play my PS3 beyond playing Katamari Forever
* Complete and 1k more of my 360 backlog

[7th lutz]

1.) Beat more than 20 games
2.) Buy more games for my Atari systems
3.) Buy more imports
4.) Get pass the 1350 mark in total of games
5.) Get more space shooters

[tubeway]

Another bandwagoner, man, you're SO cool.

I just want to be one of the cool kids.

[Ed Oscuro]

1.) Do stuff
2.) Play games
3.) BEAT SUPER GHOULS N GHOSTS (not sure I'll pull it off before the year's end)
4.) Do stuff about games

[BenG76]

I guess I will jump in here to

1. Get to at least 400 NES carts( currently at 260 or so)
2. Try for a complete Atari 7800 set ( got a ways to go)
3. Try to beat around 20 games
4. Give my Sega Saturn another chance and pick up a few games for it
5. Not game related but get my old VW Beetle on the road.

[BenG76]

-Beat many of the games that I currently have listed as incomplete (68 games at current count).
-Get a cheap PS3.
-Get a better container for my collection. Maybe one that I can organize it better with.

Gameboy Color I found some pretty nice CD shelves at Big Lots that were about $40. I bought 2 of them. One of them is currently holding my NES collection of around 260 carts and I still have 1 and a half shelves to go. It comes with 6 shelves but by using the bottom you actually get seven.

Well if you're gonna go for goals like THAT why don't you just try to cure cancer too?

[tubeway]

I think "curing cancer" fell under "Do stuff."

That sounds pretty damn good for an $80 investment. I'm going to check my local Big Lots the next time I'm out that way.

[zemmix]

Warcraft-
1. Get Shadowmourne on my Warrior before the next expansion.
2. Level my other 6 characters to 80

Console wise.. Only thing I'm looking forward to is Gran Turismo if that actually comes out in March. Will have to buy a ps3 though.

[exit]

The same goal I have every year, beat my backlog of games, problem is it gets bigger and bigger every year.

[KEVMAN569]

1: Sell some of my systems/games I no longer play with and use that money to buy new systems/games.
2: Get my collection more organized.
3: Get a new TV and a new TV stand for my games. Maybe even some speakers
4: Focus on less systems, more games rather than more systems, less games.

[otaku]

I'd like to find more time for gaming for 2010 09 I didn't game all that much and especially the last few months. I see it getting worse this year though. I'd also like to acquire a 360 and wii again (both sadly sold earlier this year)

[PentiumMMX]

My #1 goal is to finally beat Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I've beaten every main Zelda game up to Majora's Mask except for the 2nd game, and I've left my file hanging since 2003, so it's finally time to try and finish it.

[GuyinGA]

Get a flatscreen HDTV (I got a DTV that's bulky and a hassle to carry around)
Rent out the house next door and store most of my stuff there
Wade through my collection and toss/sell games I'll never play
Get through my whole backlog (ha! fat chance!)
Buy fewer games unless they are cheap and/or worthy (Bayonetta next year *might* be a day 1 purchase but I'm fearing Sega will have dropped the price by mid-year)

[Trebuken]

I have a number of collections I could get 'near complete' if you exclude the most expensive games for each collection.

1. Sega Cd
2. Sega Dreamcast
3. Atari Jaguar
4. Turbo Grafx
5. Sega Game Gear
6. Atari Lynx
7. NES

I would like to complete all of these in the next two years, but sooner would be cool...I can the focus on SNES/Playstation, possibly even Xbox.

-Would like to keep buying Colecovision/2600 games when I can find them cheap.
-Buy Valkyrie Profile and Vanguard Bandits for the PS1 (been putting them off for years)
-Buy an ipod touch and use it with Game Collector to have my collection on the go.
-Get into either Amiga or Apple IIGS gaming

My Holy Grail if it presents itself: A Gauntlet I or II cabinet.

[darkslime]

Sell all the games I am hoarding in my collection.

Sell all the games I bought just to resell (I'm looking at you 9 NES systems!)

Play more games, go on the internet less!

[kedawa]

I'd like to play through and sell my Gamecube collection, which consists of about 25 games. I've been saying this since 2006, mind you.

I plan on finishing up a few mods and projects, and maybe trying to make my own little game.

[The 1 2 P]

In a continuation of last year, I'd like to continue to beat atleast two games a month. I also want to double my gamerscore. Finally, I need to stop obsessing over my 360 so much. I have 20+ systems and yet I spend 99.9% of my time on the 360. It's hard because theres so much to do there, rather gaming, watching videos, listening to music or looking at pictures. I need to give my other systems more love next year.

[Flashback2012]

Anyone got any in mind that they'll try to fulfill in the new year?

I plan to devote more time to my console gaming than I have. It's hard to shake the WoW bug but I need to mix it up some so I don't get that stagnant feeling from playing WoW all the time.

One resolution in particular is to finally finish my season in Home Run King. I've been on the same season for that game for years now. :smash:

How bout you guys? Anything in particular? (Btw I did a quick search for resolutions and didn't see anything relevant pop up I could tack onto).

[Cloud121]

I've already got a minor one set. Get my Saturn region modded and buy X-Men vs Street Fighter before the end of August 2010.

I bought my Saturn on Sunday, August 18, 2000, with the intent of getting all of Sega's arcade ports, and X-Men vs Street Fighter.

Who wants to region mod my Saturn? :)

Also, finally get a Virtual Boy and Neo Geo CD.

[Therealqtip]

Well damn, do you have that marked down on a calender >.>?

[jdc]

The 1 2 P.......my 360 probably wishes that I'd stop playing my original Xbox and give IT some time, lol. Anyways, thought of two more.

1/ Finish our gaming room of doom. Just finished painting it, so it's underway. Flooring, baseboards, shelving and "postering" still to do.

2/ Finish Twilight Princess on the Cube. This game just doesn't pull me along. It's boring for some reason. Bailed on it for the Wii and found that it was at least more playable/ controllable on the Cube.

[SegaAges]

my goal is to finish up a few collections i have been meaning to finish up. i want to finish up the game.com collection and possibly try to get Dreamcast.

[Rickstilwell1]

Isn't this the same as the thread "Do you have any specific gaming goals for 2010"

[Flashback2012]

Isn't this the same as the thread "Do you have any specific gaming goals for 2010"

NO! YES! MAYBE! I dunno... :beaten:
Curse you Rickstilwell1! ;)

Probably...I just now noticed that thread and I imagine it's essentially the same thing. Mayhaps a mod can merge the threads?

[bunnybum]

For the time being I only have one goal: To find Alfred Chicken for the NES (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1662069&postcount=20) LOL

[WiseSalesman]

My resolution is to get back into gaming. I've been on a hiatus for far too long, and have only just recently realized how much I miss it. I may not have the kind of cash flow needed to acquire next-gen systems and games, but this hobby has never been about the flash for me. Time to dig my DC, PS2, and Saturn out of storage!

[Cloud121]

Well damn, do you have that marked down on a calender >.>?
No, just really good memory. :D

[calgon]

Beat Ikaruga
Finish Final Fantasy adventure
Finish Secret of Mana with my friend
Get a gameboy pocket
Sell doubles/things I don't use anymore

[swlovinist]

More Co-Op playing with friends
Appreciating more of what I already own
Completing my 7800, Geo Pocket US collections.

[Hari Seldon]

1) Beat Dragon Age: Origins.
2) Get a PS3.

[cbroddy]

Sell off some game systems and games
Get a PS3

[Zoltor]

99ing my Rogue in RO(insanely hard/time consuming to do).

Totally destroy Shiren for wii(comes out in Feb)

Totally Destroy RO DS(comes out in feb)

Totally destroy SMT: Strange Journy(Comes out in Mar).

Buy Diablo 3, if it even comes out this century.

To cbroddy: I don't know what game/systems you currently have, but It's safe for me to assume that is a bad idea. If you wan't a PS3 fine, but don't sell off your other games/systems to do so.
