Collecting Milestone Thread 2004

[PapaStu]

I couldn't stand the fact that I was sitting at 496 PSOne games for almost a week. went to EB to try and find some decent stuff. I came out with some Meh stuff, but it put me at my mark. I now have 500 PSOne games. Thats alot in its own rights, but when comparing it to the entire run, im still only at 38.97% (current count is 1283). I need 143 MORE just to hit 50%.... :eek 2:

Either way, 500 games is a milestone, and 500 for a system is its own milestone. I am proud either way.

[JB Lars]

Well, I'm a copy of The Next Tetris away from a complete NUON catalog. With any luck, that'll be rectified by year's end.

[FlufflePuff]

I'm heading out now to get a copy of Snow Brothers. It'll complete my NES Capcom set. 8) Yay me. :D

Oh, and nice avatar JB. :)

[snorter]

Hmmm...around 975 Genesis/Megadrive games (view them on my website), and enough 32x/SCD to put me over 1000.

[DDCecil]

On 5/12, I reached my 1,400th game: Super Mario Advance (Import version). Next goal is to finish the Sega CD collection (or not...)

[StarKnightX]

Just this past week i finally crossed a few milestones points for a few of my systems.

N64 - Over 50 (currently 52). Game(s) that put me over , WCW World Tour , Nitro , Mayham , and Backstage Assualt. (Can you tell im a wrestling fan :P)

PSX - 120 , Games that put me over , WCW vs the World , Misadventures of Tron Bonne , Rage Racer and The Unholy War.

GBA - 60 , Games that put me over , Wolfenstein 3D and Iridion 2.

Horray for me :)

[Dangerboy]

Just finished the playstation library. :D
1270 games.
After a long financial break, will most likely track down the lightspans and demo discs.

Yay.

[BoosTDIt]

Congrats Danger... :D

[LazingBlazers]

I acquired US Dynastic Hero today, and I now own all of the official release TurboGrafx CD games. I still need Magical Chase, Bikini Girls, Hawiian Island girls (and if you want to get technical... the CD+G disc that came with the CD add-on) to own them all, but I'm still sittin' high right now. Here's hoping for no blunders on my part, no psycho bids on eBay, and a little bit of luck before the end of the year!

[Usagi Mylene]

I swore to myself that I will get a Sega Genesis this year. Not only did I finally get one, I got it with about 7 games and a Arcade Joystick.

Another one was finally getting my hands on Dance Aerobics for the NES. Whenever one would pop up on ebay, I would always get outbid.

:D

[Duncan]

Update on current status, for the year-to-date:

* Passed the several-hundred mark (on all systems combined) as far as individual games go. I'm not very organized yet.

* Got an Xbox, the Sega Combo Pack model (with Sega GT and JSRF). Already have about 10-12 games for it, too.

* Got a Sega Saturn from a friend, in very good shape. Came with Sonic 3D Blast, Virtua Cop 2 (disc-only, sadly) and the Stunner light gun.

* Won an Intellivision II and 20 games (some with boxes) on eBay for about $24 total. VERY happy about that purchase, assuming the console works.

* Picked up some tougher finds for the SMS - RC Grand Prix (by Seismic) and Zillion II.

* Edged several games closer to having all the original black-label NES carts. (I'm not going to hunt my ass off for Stack-Up, though.)

* Found an early-label copy of Altered Beast for the Genesis - which, easy as that should have been, was something of an ordeal.

* Stumbled upon my first 3DO games (for which I have no console yet - but then, I did the same thing with the Saturn).

* Managed to keep my 1987-vintage NES running without too many blue screen incidents - and got SMB3 working for the first time in years, after some heavy-duty cleaning.

Goals for the year:

* Buy the PS2 I've been promising myself for quite some time, so that I can really enjoy GT4 when it finally comes out.

* Find a goddamned switch box for my RCA Studio II - I'm really anxious to play a crappy game of Bowling. Don't ask me why - childhood memories, I guess.

* Complete the set of both Nintendo black-label and Konami silver-label games for the NES.

* Work on my SNES collection, which has been both neglected and pushed aside for quite a while. Don't need boxes; just need carts.

* Decide whether or not to keep the boxes for my N64 games - they take up lots of space, but they look so good on the shelf.

* Get a ColecoVision, with or without (preferably with) ADAM.

* Find a six-switch Atari 2600 for cheap - no $200 eBay "rarities" here.

* Find Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (US release) for SMS. This may end up being a lifelong goal, I fear. :o

* Complete a cross-referenced list of sports and driving games across consoles - it'll be my contribution to the DP pantheon, if you'd like. :)

There's probably more I'd like to do, but that's enough to keep me busy this summer.

[dbiersdorf]

Let sees the only real goal I achieved so far this year was I got my 100th GameCube game. 6 months ago I told myself I would get 110 games, and currently I am at 108. Hey, I'm only 15, so I'd say its a pretty good milestone seeing how my parents won't pay for video games anymore.

Some goals I plan on acheiving:

- Finishing off my Virtual Boy US Collection by getting Jack Bros. but also at the same time manage to get one rare Jap. Virtual Boy game.

- I would like to get 50 Game Gear games by the end of the summer.

- I would like to get the complete Jaguar collection by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 200 GameCube games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 50 complete games Nintendo 64 games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get 100 Super Nintendo games by the end of the year.

- I would like to get a boxed Genesis 2 and a 32x, and maybe a CD by the end of the year.

[DigitalSpace]

I now have 70 Super Nintendo games in my collection. Why is this a milestone? Well, back in January, when I only had around 20 or so SNES games, I made a goal to get 70 games by the end of the year. Got there a lot faster than I thought.

For the record, the 70'th game was NCAA Basketball, purchased for .50 at a local pawn shop.

How many SNES games will I have by the end of the year? We'll see...

[Kamino]

well i just passed the 400 mark for games collection-wide...1 game to go to hit 70 on nes.....just passed 60 on 2600...passed 20 on genesis....ive got a long long way to go to get all the games i want.

[Balloon Fight]

Forgot to post this, but I finally got a Colecovision with some games. I've been looking for one forever and I finally got one. :)

[Atarian75]

Just passed the 400 mark on NES games. :)

[MattyXB]

I own now the complete Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disk PAL collection for the Nintendo GameCube. All PAL Demo Disks, which are avaible at the moment. And all Preview and Promo Disks, which I now as PAL.

Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disk:
March 2002, May 2002, September 2002, November 2002, Dezember 2002, February 2003, April 2003, June 2003, September 2003, November 2003, March 2004, May 2004. :D

Viewtiful Joe

Has take me near 2 years, to get the last Demo Disks from May 2002. But now I finally got all. :-P

[Nez]

My mild milestone

Finally found Battle Toads Double Dragon nes in the wild 8$!

and now I have the Complete Panzer Dragoon Series: Panzer Dragoon, Zwei, Saga, Orta OWNAGE!

[Jasoco]

Well, funny story. The other day I passed 600 games. With a total of 601. The 600th game was Mortal Kombat 3 complete in Long Box for the PSX.

Then two days ago I am doing some sorting and I discover I missed some PSX games!

Then I go through the N64 games. Then the Genesis games.

In the end I find a total of 11 games I had MISSED in my colelction pages. In reality I had 612 games and passed 600 a few weeks before!

I dunno.. Not sure what the actual 600th was now.

Strange thing was what games I actually missed! And not just stupid forgettables, among them were Final Fantasy VII, (Which I've had for YEARS) Comix Zone, (One of my FIRST Genesis games. How I missed that one is beyond me.) then the N64 games shocked me. StarFox 64, Smash Bros! How the hell did I miss all these games!? Well, glad I went through all of them.

Oh well.. Only 88 more to number 700. I'm sure of THAT one.

[DreamTR]

I want to have 10,000 games by the time I am 30. I have 2 more years and about 2,700 more games to go =/[/i]

[-hellvin-]

Just passed 650 games this week. I collect slow but just about everything I have is complete. And I finally bought a nice storage rack for it all.

Goals:

Reach 300 complete NES games by the end of the year.
Get a new job =D.

[sporkster]

I finally got the NES I promised myself I'd get this summer.

Now my goals are to get a ton of NES games and get more SNES games.

[DigitalSpace]

I just got my 20'th PS2 game, which is Q-Ball: Billiards Master.

I've been finding quite a few games lately that were either launch titles or released early in the PS2's life for around $5 or so, including:

Smuggler's Run
Midnight Club
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Q-Ball Billiards Master
Twisted Metal: Black

I've also bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Midnight Club II complete for $5 each. I'm pretty sure both they were at that price due to the discs being a little scratched up. I've played both for hours with no skips or anything, so those were some really nice finds.

Next up, I'd like to get 20 PSX games (I'm currently at 16), and 10 GC games (currently have 8) by the end of the summer. And I'd like to have at least 100 SNES games by the end of the year.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I want to complete my Atari 5200 collection including Multi cart and homebrews. I already have Meteorites thankfully but how I will get Bounty Bob Strikes back is beyond me. I need about 30 games including test cart homebrews and us releases. My other goal is to hit 2000 games by the end of the year, and get my ebay store started.

[Jasoco]

I found DOOM for GBA the other day. To me, that's a milestone. I'd been after that forever. Still looking for DOOM II and Duke, though.

[dethink]

sold all my current gen consoles except for my PS2/GBA.

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)

started collecting NTSC-J mega drive stuff this weekend...i already have 19-20 games on the way, and i'm probably going to sell the PS2/GBA stuff to fund this, and not buy anything past the golden age of cartridges.

snagged an N64 with 3 out of my 4 favorite games (mario., mario kart, blast corps), so with a copy of star fox 64, i should be set for when the MD gets old. :D

[Exo]

I have reached a small milestone. I have 259 games,finally got a sega master,and have over 20 gamcube games now. I am 1 game away from reaching 260 game and 1 ps2 game away from having 30.

[dethink]

double post.!

[the_wizard_666]

Although I haven't sat down and counted every game I own, with the arrival of my complete NES Uncharted Waters on Monday, I reached 130 unique NES games...small compared to most people here, but when I went 5 years without buying anything incomplete and without buying online, it's something for me to sit back and say "Aahhh!!!"

[scooterb23]

Finished a milestone a couple weeks ago.

Thanks to Slipdeath, I now have a complete Game.com collection.

Unfortunately, the next day...my Game.com died :o :(

Well, it was faithful for about 3 years...need to go buy a new one I guess...

[Jasoco]

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)I would think you'd sell the GH versions and only keep non-GH ones. Seeing as they'd be worth more later.

[cracked8ball]

Reached the 100 NES game mark a few weeks ago. Since I've started to collect Genesis games now, I'd like to reach about 100 games by the end of summer.

[dethink]

sold off most of my "valuable" PS1 games (alllll the non-GH squaresoft stuff)I would think you'd sell the GH versions and only keep non-GH ones. Seeing as they'd be worth more later.

nope, i sold 'em...i decided working on the MD collection and paying some of my newly acquired debt from purchasing his and hers powerbooks down a bit. yes, i'll probably be kicking myself later on down the road, but alas...scoriing about $40-50 each wasn't too tough to swallow.

[DigitalSpace]

I've passed the 150 mark. 151 games total as of the date of this post.

[Balloon Fight]

Just passed the 150th NES game mark and 460th overall. Not bad I must say. :)

[Kamino]

recently:
hit 25 SMS games.
Hit 75 NES games.
FINALLY got fire n ice for nes....
got 45 snes games, and got final fights 1-3, sonic blast man 1 &2, dkc 1-3.
acquired over 20 unique systems. pushin for 25.

erm, thats about it for right now.

[anagrama]

Dropping through my mailbox this morning was my 250th Sega Master System game - Summer Games.
Just another 30 or so Euro releases left to track down...

[DigitalSpace]

I just reached 20 PSX games this week. The 20'th game was Jet Moto 2.
I also got my first PSX longbox game, V-Tennis. And since it's an R7, it's also my rarest PSX game.

[Policenaut]

Well, I reached 500 games last week, so that's my first milestone, second would be completing my US SMS collection (15 left to complete it), third is to complete all TG-16 HuCards, then the Genny and Sega CD collection.

[pr88cjb]

Suddenly my collection looks really small... :embarrassed:

Reached 100 PAL Mega-CD titles about 2 weeks ago with the arrival of the Samurai Shodown demo CD. About 20 more to go by my reckoning.

Also bought my first SNES last week, so I suppose that could count as a milestone too!

[tynstar]

Hit a few more Milstones.

1) Over 1200 different games
2) Completed my Sega 32X library. All the games are complete.
3) Have 50 X-Box games.

Hopefully after this week end I will have overe 1300 games.

[Son of Bael]

I now have a complete Euro NeoGeo Pocket Color collection (all games complete), which i finished about a month or so ago 8-)

Just bought my first $500 game O_O

Now have 500 games 8-)

Aiming to have the 20 best US NGH carts by the end of the year (currently have 11)

[jwl]

I just passed 100 Complete GBA games :D thanks in part to Cicuit City, where i got 30 the other day. I really like collecting GBA because its still cartridge its my favourite of the new systems to collect for right now. I think thats the only milestone I got recently.

[Kamino]

i just passed the 500 game mark and the 25 system mark. yay me.

[Quickclaw]

The 50 mark for NES games was reached at 11:13 this morning.

[DigitalSpace]

Today's purchase of a loose copy of Granada puts me at 20 Genesis games.

[Nicola]

Just passed the 2000 mark!

[robotriot]

Yay, 300 games! Way to go :)

[DigitalSpace]

I hit 200 games a couple of days ago. Number 200 would be Tetris 2 for SNES. Currently at 203 as of the date of this post.

My Gamecube collection reached the 10 mark last week as well. Luigi's Mansion was number 10. 13 total right now. Yeah, it's not much, but until I got my GBA on Sunday, all my systems were in the double digits.

[portnoyd]

US Virtual Boy Collection Complete. All games CIB.

Next target, a cardboard box game.com with Lights Out to complete game.com.

Then Genesis or 5200, which ever carts needed pop up first (Genesis - Miracle Piano, Romance III, Uncharted Waters; 5200 - Bounty Bob, Meteorites, Zaxxon, Kaboom, Rescue on Fractalus).

dave

[Crush Crawfish]

Just hit 1000 games! Well, 1009 actually. My 1000th was Gex 64. :D

[Dangerboy]

FInally finished up the 32x library. Yay!

Not sure what to tackle next.

Jason

[LazingBlazers]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

Yes, I am now the proud owner of EVERY SINGLE professional release game EVER released for the TurboGrafx-16/CD/SCD! All of them. The MindRec titles, the Excite titles, all the TurboChips, all the CDs, and all of the SCDs. When this thread was initially started, my first thought was that this was the post that I wanted to make. I'm glad it's now a reality.

[dreamcaster]

Recently I got my 250th game.

Slowly but surely I guess....

:o

[le geek]

Got a Colecovision (in box!)
Got a Neo-Geo Consolized MVS!!!!!

Put Xbox purcahse on back-back-back burner with above "scores"...

Cheers,
Ben

[tynstar]

I broke the 1300 different games mark!!

[pixelsnpolygons]

Alright, I'll go. I don't have any major milestones coming up in the near future, but this time next year I should have some VERY tasty milestones. Unfortunately all of my resources are going towards things that don't really benefit the bulk of any of my collections so they're all just kinda sitting stale. However, I should have a nice payoff within 6 months at which point the collections will really start rolling in. 100th GameCube, 100th Xbox and 100th PlayStation 2 - over 40 game systems and over 1000 games will all be milestones I'm expecting to pass. Complete (or at least up to date) kiosk disc collection for Cube is something I am close to as well.

Actually, I'll consider it a milestone if I get all of my crap in one spot - failing that - a dozen spots NONE of which are on the floor. @_@ Seriously though, it should be a great 12 months for me. I can't wait to check back here.

[Goodwill Hunter]

In the midst of reorganizing my gameroom, I've been totaling up my finds from the last 4 months. They had been stacking up in random piles, but I've finally got them all entered into the gamelists on my handheld. I'm guessing I hit my goal of 4,002 unique games in 2004 by the end of May. As of today, my collection totals 4,196 games. I also completed my longbox Playstation collection. After chasing a few phantom titles, I believe there are exactly 102 longbox titles. I'll be posting a list and pics in a separate thread. If you have a longbox game that's not on the list, better come armed with pictures, or I ain't biting!

Rich

[AFGiant]

Not much of a milestone, but my NES collection surpassed my PC collection today (I had the most games for PC before this). One more step for console gaming!

[-hellvin-]

Passed 150 genesis games today! Genesis is about to pull ahead of NES! I'm about 15 games away from the big 1,000.

[VinnyT]

Suprised I never updated my milestones.
http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v51/VinnyT/Video_Games2.jpg

Got 100, I believe i'm at 106 now.

I'm trying for a complete U.S. Virtual Boy set now.

[-hellvin-]

Just surprassed 1000 games today in my genesis collectiong odyssey. Reached 179 boxed games, almost all complete. Go so many more to go!

[Policenaut]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

Man, I congratulate you on that amazing milestone. I just recently passed the 600 games mark, just need 11 SMS games to have the entire library and my next goal is to to finish the Turbografx-16/CD/SCD collection.

[Azazel]

:D IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!

That's pretty good. I only got up to 500 games where I sold most of my stuff.

[Dangerboy]

Congrats on the TG Collection. I have everything but th elast two Bikini CDs, but I don't count those. Complete collections are a beautiful thing.

Today I hit a huge milestone:

I FINALLY got my PlayStation Yaroze! :D :D :D

Once I get the new copy of Win95 back in and get my old, old, PC back online, I will create a PSX Develpment center and see if I can program something.

For now I took tons of photos and stuff so I can added it to the PlayStation perfect guide.

Anyone up for a homebrew one paddle pong? :)

[max 330 mega]

i guess this wouldnt really be a true milestone but it is for me,

recently my local gamecrazy came across a copy of house of the dead original for saturn, so i obviously freaked out when i saw it and wanted it, but the clerk said he would have to hold it for me because there was no listing in the computer for it. so i came back next week and asked him how much it was gonna cost me, he looked around, and then whispered to me "the manager told me to give it to you free" i thought my head was gonna explode.
ever since i picked up my saturn just as it was declared officialy dead a month later, i have been looking for that game. and how sweet it is to have a mint copy handed to me for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHH
I LOVE YOU GAME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D

[SegaAges]

[tynstar]

I passed the 1400 different game mark. :D

[youngamer]

my milestone is owning all of the nintendo consoles (not the handhelds,virtual boy,or the gw's) just the NES to the Game Cube :) :) 8-)

[robotriot]

Precisely two months after the 300 mark, I got my 350th game yesterday (Project Gotham Racing 2)! I doubt I'll get another 50 in the next two months though :/

[AFGiant]

I passed to 250 mark today, w00t! My 250th game was Operation Wolf for the NES. Let's get to 300 now!

[imanerd0011]

I got my 250th NES game yesterday. I have 237 lisenced games and 14 unlisenced. Only a little over 400 more lisenced games and I'll have them all ! :evil:

[DigitalSpace]

Thanks to the recent clearance sale at Circuit City, I reached a milestone I didn't think I'd get to this year: 30 PS2 games. Jak II got me there.

[neuropolitique]

Today I got my 200th NES game. The lucky game? Toki
Also, Qix(NES) put my collection over $12,000, according to IGN. That's accurate, right? ;)
