I passed 300 NES Games yesterday. Since I bought about 7 at once I'm going to give the honor of 300th game to Power Punch 2 (with manual). So I've got my Wisdom Tree games done. Color Dreams is almost there. AVE is ugh. And I'm about halfway on Tengen. So my unlicensed collection is almost complete. Does anyone happen to have a link to a list of all the unlicensened NES games released in the US? I've tried doing a search on it before, but with little luck.

[davidleeroth]

I passed the 1300 mark today. The honors go to PSX Colony Wars - Red Sun.

[SegaAges]

I will hit a milestone this weekend. I will be putting my html skills to the test and I finally got my room of doom pics, which means a uber crazy, badass room of doom page.

The design is now complete, all I need to do is implement

[tritium]

I now own 5 systems.

Gamecube
psONe
Dreamcast
Genesis
SegaCD

-Tritium

[DigitalSpace]

[tynstar]

I just passed the 1500 game mark. Also passed the 550 Genesis game mark.

[Duncan]

Completed a rough database of my game collection last week and committed it to Excel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, if you count a few demo discs, the whole set tops out at about 400 individual games (I don't collect variants, generally, so those are all unique).

I've also got a nice big stack of game magazines needing to be cataloged (three years worth of EGM, two or three years of OPM, a complete set of Tips and Tricks Codebooks except for the latest one) and a whole pile of nice freebies gleaned from company reps over the past six years.

Before the end of the year, I wish to own a 2600 (or 7800) and maybe a ColecoVision if I can swing them both. Otherwise, I'll just settle for the DS I'm planning to get on launch day.

[izret101]

260 different games.
Approx 282 total games.
Want to make 300 by the end of the year.

[Kamino]

cleared the following marks;
100 nes games
100 vcs/2600 games
50 Genesis games
750 total games
75 snes games!

[qbertandernie]

oh how big my dreams were...

i ended up buying a second house instead, so that, coupled with some charity i am kind of strapped for money; hence, not many new games...

maybe ill complete several collections next year....im pretty close(within 50) on several systems. a couple im within 5...

[thegreatescape]

Finally got to 100 Mega Drive games (101 at the moment). My goal was 100 before november 7, which would have been the 2 year anniversary of collecting.

The games that tipped me over were: 688 attack sub, LHX, f117 and Buck rogers. IM just gonna say it was buck Rogers because its a great game :D

[VinnyT]

Wow, it took you 2 years for 100.

It took me 10 1/2 years.

Is Mega Drive just REALLY common in Australia?

[DigitalSpace]

I got my 20'th Gamecube game today, which was 007: Everything or Nothing.

[Emily]

Milestone #2
I got an arcade cabinet! I never thought i would own such a thing! Double Dragon Rules!!!

My first milestone was finally getting a Vectrex last year -_-

[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 :/

Funny, but I got my 400th game today, that's only 2 months and one day after I posted this :D

[tonki]

Neat subject. I'm starting to learn about some of the "specialty" forums on DP and I like them! I've reached a bunch of goals, none bigger than my NES cart milestone which I've dreamed about since I started collecting back in '99 :D

Reached 700 unique NES games (750 seems a lock for next year).
Reached 200 2600 games (like 230ish now)
Got my first 4 Zellers 2600 boxes
Completed my 2600 Activision standard label collection 8-)
Got my first table-top games (Turtles, Stargate, Galaxian, Galaxian 2)
Broke with my 2600/Nintendo roots and picked up (gasp!) Sega systems: SMS, Genesis, Game Gear and my most advanced system yet... a DC! 8-)
Got some notable complete VB games: Jack Bros, Water World, Nester's Funky Bowling. Hope to complete VB NA next year.

It's been a good year for me. :D

[izret101]

With this great purchase http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=trophies;action=display;num=11009943 43
I am up to 55 Complete NES games and 107 total NES games (118 with doubles).
Also puts me up to 300 games.
All three of which were made when the storeowner reminded me he was holding Bee 52 for me.

Also got my completed my 10th console, the Super NES Donkey Kong Set, and 10th comic, XIII.

[Time]

Well, I finally hit 1,000 games. :D Actually I'm now at 1,001. This was my goal for 2004 and I've finally achieved it. However I'm counting 151 doubles. Looks like my goal for 2005 will be to get to 1,000 different titles.

[FlufflePuff]

Are you saying you can't amas 150 games in slightly less than a month? What is this world coming to?

I'm just teasing by the way. I passed something that isn't really a milestone, but kind of cool today. My collection value on IGN passed 13,000. I know that's not actually what it's worth, but if I ever have a fire that's the list and value I'm going to show to my insurance company.

[max 330 mega]

not really a milestone, but i got my first $100+ neo geo AES title yesterday, KOF 2000.

[Emily]

Well, I passed the 300 mark.

[fergojisan]

I have been not-too-actively trying to get the 2600 games I had as a kid, all boxed. What's that, you want the list? Okay:

Combat
Space Invaders
Sky Diver
Human Cannonball
Adventure
Video Pinball
Maze Craze
Warlords
Asteroids
Missile Command
Defender
Berzerk
Pac Man
Pitfall
Kaboom
Haunted House
Star Raiders

All I need is Adventure, and then maybe I will start replacing the cruddy boxes that I have. So if you see a boxed Adventure on eBay, please don't bid on it. Thank you.

WOOHOO!!!!

Finally, I got Adventure off of ebay. Thanks to everyone for not bidding on it.

At last, after 10 years, my very first collecting goal has been reached!

Just got the last 4 sealed US Dreamcast games, NFL 2K, NBA 2K1, ESPN NBA, and Tomb Raiders Chronicle to complete my complete sealed US Dreamcast collection, 5 years in the making, though not as challenging as Neo-Geo, I put in the same effort finding prestine copies.

I still have 15 games that I need to find prestine copies (my current ones of those 15 have either cracks on the case, or rip/tear on the seal).

[Cobra Commander]

Hit the big 3 double 0 today. Actually, at 307 now. That's 57 games in 3 months and one day! Here's to another year of collecting :cheers:

[izret101]

Closing in on
100 NES games(1 short)
25 Genesis games(1short)
25 SNES games (4 short)
25 Systems (5 more to go)
250 games (approx 20 short)

260 different games.
Approx 282 total games.
Want to make 300 by the end of the year.
Broke almost all of those goals

I have over 100 NES games
Have 25 Genesis games
And i have over 300 games now.

I have 21 systems now.
21 SNES games

I am buying my cousins SNES stuff off of him soon so that will put me around 30 SNES games.
I also might get my grandmothers which will out me between 35-40 games.

Other smaller goals i have accomplished recently
15+ PS2 games
10 GCN games
20 Xbox games
15+ DC games
5 GBA games
And i have gotten almost 3/4 of my systems boxes.

[mikeetler]

It came down to the wire, but today I picked up my 300th Gamecube game. To put it in perspective, my 100th game was back in Feb and was Wario Ware. I kept 95% of purchases to new games under $10 and most used for under $7. There were a few more expensive additions (ie Donkey Konga, MC Groove Dance Craze being the most at $45 and $40) but my average cost per game is well under $10 a piece. Number 300 was a little of a splurge as Alien Hominid would be tough to find for under $30.

[scorch56]

Well.. it's the first day of 2005 today.. so in a way.. the original intent of this thread is now "moot" (Hmmm.. maybe we should start a new one for 2005?).

Anyways.. I finally reached game #500 today! (See the link in my sig.) At the beginning of the year.. I just wanted to reach #365 (I figured I wanted a game to play for each day of a year.); but i really went apesh*t with my buying; and soon surpassed it.

I'm seriously thinking of scaling back for awhile, and perhaps concentrating on an "aspect" I know nothing about or own nothing of.. "memorabilia". Any suggestions on where to start? I really wanted that Klonoa "plush doll" on eBay last week.. but couldn't see myself shelling out $50+ for it (ESPECIALLY since I don't even have the game yet either.. it's a bit "spendy".). Right now.. I've got my sights set on a Vagrant Story comic book though.. it's a bit cheaper; and might make a good start.

[VinnyT]

I got an r8 on the 28th, so it still counts.

[Slipdeath]

Well im almost at 100 games AGAIN. I was at 500 at one point. *Puts head down and starts to cry* :( :( :(

[izret101]

I didn't think i would make 300 by the end of 2004.
I had 310ish and after i got a package on the first and an early birthday gift from my cousin i have almost 325.

I hope to break 500 in 2K5!!
