Any Gaming Goals For 2004?

[Rogmeister]

Do you have any gaming goals for 2004? Any specific games you hope to find? Any totals you want to reach for a specific system? For me, I've never been a big collector...the system I have the most games for is the SNES and I still have less than 200 for that one...so that's one thing I want to do, reach 200 for that system. I need about 30 to do that. The trick will be to find that many games that I actually want to play. I'm about 20 shy of reaching 100 for the Dreamcast and I'd like to do that, too. I'd have to make a list of my other systems and see if there's any other even numbers I'd like to reach for any of my other collections...I might go for 200 Playstation games as well even though I still haven't reached 150...since many are pretty cheap it's probably easily attainable. I'm not sure if there are any specific games I really want...one possible goal I'm not sure I really want to accomplish is to go online. Lots of people love online play but I'm not convinced it's for me. Oh, yeah, I might try to finish my collection of EGM back issues. I probably won't try to get every issue...just the ones since the 16-bit era began... 8-)

I want to break two hundred games for....my collection. That's right, I'm currently at 193 total.

I'd like to get more items for my main collections and perhaps branch out with Virtua Boy, Lynx or perhaps Intellivision.

[norkusa]

I'm going to finnish my frickin' NES collection! I know I say this every year, but this time I mean it. Only 82 more carts to go and most of the rare ones are already out of the way (Stadium Events and the Myriad 6-in-1 are going to be a bitch to get though).

[Querjek]

I want to get at least one Japanese system that is not *quite* the same as it is in America (So a Famicom would count), find out how to get imports working on my PS2 without truly modding it, get my PS2 sent to Sony so that it will read CDs and DVDs at the same time, buy SOnic Heroes, expand my Xbox collection, get an INTV or Coleco, and get my collection over 400 games (I'm hovering a little over 300 now).

[Flack]

I've been thinking of making a list of every game I own and playing them all at least once next year -- maybe even doing a short (even if it's only a paragraph) review of each in the process.

I might even do this with emulated games ... like, a short review of every SNES game, etc. Could turn out to be a long year!

[Rogmeister]

Flack, that's a great idea for a project...I tried it once but wasn't able to keep up with it. I've been thinking of trying it again, though. I don't really have a website anymore so I wouldn't have a place to post it so it'd just be something I keep for myself. Any idea how many games you have? I probably have between 600 and 700 and that's probably not counting my NES collection which I'm giving to a friend...

Only two goals (so far) for next year:

Complete my Sega CD collection and get my own Buy/Sell/Trade VG business going.

[Trellisaze]

Collecting goals ... nothing specific. Perhaps get more imports, and finally relearn the Japanese I've unlearned since university.

Gaming-wise, I'm going to finish the non-remake Final Fantasies in the gaming pile before the PS2 version of XI is all mine.

some are yearly standards with me :)

1) Play more of the games I have and review them on my web site...
2) Actually update said website more than 2-3 times a year...
3) Get closer to a complete First Party NTSC Atari 2600 Collection (Game+Manual)
4) Pick up the Atari and Activision 2600 Manuals I'm missing
5) Get my 5200 sticks refurbed at Best plus get a Redemption setup.
6) Pick up a cheap Colecovision
7) I'd love to pick up Bounty Bob Strikes Back and Dracula X :)

and 8) Buy and beat the crap out of Adventure II when Cafeman and Racoon Lad finish it!

Cheers,
Ben

good topic Roger...

I'm going to continue to expand my Neo Geo collection, but only with games I want to play. I plan on expanding my Jaguar collection, I am going to get all the official releases for this system, maybe not all of them this year, but I will increase my collection for sure. I will probably start buying the Songbird releases from the Atari Age store, and if a Battlesphere crosses my path for a decent price, I will certainly grab that. I'm at about 50 games for the Jaguar, which is pretty good really, but I do want more, its one of my main machines. I would also like to continue to build my 5200 collection as well, and I also plan on buying more reproduction carts from AA.

Other than that, the rest of my games collection I will leave up to fate, if I come across something interesting for a good price at the thrift, or the used game dealers, then I'll pick it up...as always. The only systems I actively seek out games for are the NEO, Jag, and 5200.

[Rogmeister]

I need to see how many 5200 games I have...if I have less than 50 then I'd like to get up to that number which sounds like a nice even number. I need to pull it out and play it again...been ages since I played Pengo, an old favorite. I used to have about 50 Jag games and I thought about getting a complete set for awhile but I ultimately decided I didn't want to pay full price for a lot of those games and some are still going for that. I then started selling them and I'm now down to about 21 games. That's not a good number...I should either sell one to go to 20 or get at least 4 more for 25. Or I could just sell 11 and go down to 10! I don't have any of the harder to get games...pretty common stuff for the most part.

I want to own a Neo Geo Pocket Color. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll get to own da big NG. :D

...

Um, that's it. For now. I'm sure there are many other goals for me in the gaming world, but I can't think of any right now. :embarrassed:

I will finish my Virtual Boy collection next year. (Yeah right)

I want to work on my Game.com and Odyssey 2 collections. I may be able to finish those as well.

Next up: I want to get my SMS collection really moving towards completion :)

[ubersaurus]

Complete my 7800 collection. I know I've said that the past two years, but dammit, I'll probably try this time.

I'd like to finish getting the Saturn and SMS games I'm REALLY looking for. There's not too many of those (well, for saturn).I want to get SSV for the neo geo, a good arcade stick for my PS2, and most of all..

A COPY OF THAT DAMN MARIO ANIME.

[badinsults]

My goal next year is to get at least 40 more snes games (I got about 20 this year). I also hope to update my website more often, which will likely happen when everything is scripted (scheduled timeline, May). Perhaps filling in some of the holes in my Unreleased Games secion will be first on the list.

What 7800 games do you need? I have about 20 games, half complete, half are loose, that I just have sitting on my shelf. I traded my 7800 for a NEO game a few years back and I have no use for the 7800 carts. Been looking to trade them away for some 5200 stuff, or even 2600 carts I dont have. If you are interested I'll PM you a list of what games I got.

I might even do this with emulated games ... like, a short review of every SNES game, etc. Could turn out to be a long year!

I've been doing just this sort of thing over the past few months with my growing SMS and Genesis collections. I've even organized my lists in DP format (wink, nod), but with my own capsule reviews and extra information.

Some samples of my craft, if I may indulge myself:


F-16 Fighting Falcon Sega $3/R1
Style: Sega Card.
Teaser: "You are about to take control of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the most advanced jet fighter in the world. In this carefully crafted simulation, your mission is to seek and destroy enemy aircraft and to remain airborne as long as possible."
Release: 1986.
Notes: Not too bad dynamically, but a single enemy type and the lack of any scenery whatsoever makes this feel more like a training sim than a game. Then again, given the thick instruction manual and the need to use two Control Pads at the same time, maybe that really was the intent. That said, it's only fun for a little while. Rarity-wise, this is by far the most common of the Sega Cards (probably bolstered by the Top Gun craze of the era). And on the technical side, be warned that it's the only card that won't work in the Genesis Power Base Converter – supposedly because of a slightly different pin layout than the other cards (though I have yet to confirm this as the definite reason).
Cheats: After pressing the Start button, "Level 01" will appear on the screen to denote your current stage. Simply press up or down on the D-pad to change stages.
Copyright: ©1985 Nexa, 1986 Sega.

QuackShot Sega $12/R5
starring Donald Duck
Style: Sega standard grid (third style).
Teaser: "Donald unearths an ancient scroll that reveals a long-lost treasure. Off he dashes on a dangerous expedition! He leaps over cacti, sidesteps scorpions, and slides down slopes to claim the loot before Big Bad Pete can get it. Donald's temperamental tantrums keep the bad guys runnin'! He thonks 'em with his plunger and bounces on the handle to hop over their heads. Then he blasts 'em with gooey bubblegum! Yuck-a-duck!"
Release: 1991. Though Disney's Duck Tales cartoon series was on the air during this time, this game was not based upon it (though there were two Duck Tales titles for the NES).
Notes: An excellent platformer for kids or kid-like adults. Great graphics and some of the best sound effects in any Genesis game give you the feeling of playing through a classic Donald Duck cartoon – complete with violent, rampaging temper tantrums. Sega was using their Disney license to showcase what the Genesis could do, and this game is part of the proof.

A bit of work, yes, but I enjoy it. :)

[buttasuperb]

Play lots of MVS and CPS2 games. Lots.

Raise my 1 credit score on Blazing Star to above 10 million (right now it's only close to 4 mil)

Get better at the Metal Slug games (I die alot, I don't know if I've ever even beaten the first level in any of the games without dying, which should be easy)

Find Progear on CPS2, blue or green board, I don't care.

Make more shock box inserts for MVS games.

Find more SNK and Capcom large marquees and posters.

Maybe get a NES collection stared again.

Get some of the SNES back that I sold recently.

Play on xbox live more.

I've done a lot of thinking and have decided to try and collect for the 7800 with any gift money I receive this christmas.
I had a stack of 2600 games and manuals there that I was trying to sell, I figured if I ever bought a system I'd play it maybe once a year and otherwidse it would just take up space... BUT, I then thought about the fact I could get a 7800, play and collect 2600 carts WITH the added bonus of being able to grab some great 7800 titles.
I could see the 7800 getting nearly as much play as my SMS does.
I actually jumped from the 2600 to the SMS and have never played an actual 7800 before I just decided to give it a shot with an emulator and some licensed titles just to see how it compares with other systems of it time. I find it remind me VERY much of the computer scene of that time. looks very "EGA"-esque and that old 2600 sound chip is about the equal of a PC speaker, I think thats it's charm to me, it's like a console computer. (but really computers of that time were not much more than glorified video games.. or vice versa).

So by the way, anyone who happens to be sellin anything 7800, let me know, I still don't even have a system yet.

My goals -

- Spend more time actually playing games. I don't know if it's because I'm getting on a bit, but as my collection grows, I seem to spend less time actually playing games (with the exception of Winning Eleven 7 and Guitar Freaks).
- Speaking of Guitar Freaks - I just want to get good at the damn game.
- Hopefully I'll push ConsoleMAD and turn it into a popular website. There aren't too many retro sites in the UK so the competition isn't too great but it'll still take me a while.

Shoot..
Now that I think about it now..nothing really....hmm,you got me thinking now..
I'd say maybe to finally start using the Xbox Live and PS2 online kits I bought so long ago.

I did have one goal for 2004..
It was to get a Neo Geo SNK Candy Cab or Neo 19 by the end of January 2004..

Well that goal is no more valid..
I just bought a Candy Cab.
I'm still looking for the Neo 19 though..(Future Goal)

My main goal is to not have to sell the games I have. Other than that I may reduce the number of new gen games I buy and start picking up more games from the 80's and 90's. With the exception of the Dreamcast that is. Speaking of which, I want to get 50 more DC games (hopefully through trade). Even if they are common.

Get me a 64DD!

I've delayed it long enough, my N64 collection is pretty much finished (or will be soon) so next year will be the time for me to own a 64DD! :D

There's lots of new games I want early next year though so I'll have to juggle it a bit I think.

Man, where to start:

- get a lot more games for the GC
- same goes for the GBA SP
- keep trying to get all the import Odyssey2 games (jopac and such).
- I really want to pull out the wafer drive for my ZX81 and play Mazogs! :D
- try some way to find the 1510 cart addaptor for the T/S 1500... :hmm:
- As others have mentioned, get an actual gaming room setup.
- Find a better job!
- Post my 100 post on DP forum (oh, I just did - ;) )

that's all I can think of this late in the night...

I'm going to complete my saturn collection. It's only 20 more games, so that shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Yet another goal I might try for is to see just how many cheap (below $10) games I can get. I might try to limit my game purchases to that amount on all but my GC & PS2 (current consoles)...possibly just something to cross-reference on my gaming notebook.

One thing I won't do is to try and get every crappy super-hero game...Batman, Aquaman, Batman, Superman, Batman, Wolverine...did I mention Batman? :evil:

I Badly Need a 1901 Monitor for my 128D, as the 1081 I have it plugged into at the moment is low quality, or maybe it's just the cable...

Anyway, My Aim is to buy a Silver PS2, Build a New Gaming PC for myself and Greatly Expand My Sega Collection with a Dreamcast, 32X and Maybe an SG-1000!

I have some goals for next year, some may be unorthodox....


1) get all of the "Games I want" for the Neo-MVS and Neo-pocket out of the way. Getting that damn CFC2-expand is gonig to be a real bitch, last copy I saw went for $303 on eBay :(

2) Get a Japanese Duo, and a Vectrex. I really want both.

3) SELL ALL THE DAMN EXTRA SYSTEMS I HAVE! I'm getting a Coleco expansion in trade sometime before february so I don't need the 4 2600s and the Coleco Gemini now do I? Or that Sears Super Video Arcade since I'm not a INTV fan.

4) Get a house, so I can have a single room of doom. Wizard needs space badly.

EDIT: 5) Either get a RGB monitor/RCA 5.1 sound system setup, or an actual Big Red 4-slot cab for my MVS habit. standard AV with mono sound doesn't cut it there Jonathan.
