Build a MAME cabinet...
That's about it...

Play more and buy less.
I have almost every game I ever really wanted & they stay locked away and forgotten because I'm so consumed trying to get that next game.
I hope to spend more time with what I already have (700+ games) and quit obsessing with what I don't.

I 2nd that.
I think I'm just gonna try and trade for or buy a few of the more rare or expensive games i want. Radiant Silvergun and Metal Slug 3 would be my first 2 choices.
I also want to play and finish some games that i never did before. Starting with Final Fantasy 3 and Super Metroid.
Besides that i want to add another button to each controller of my MK2 cab and get a UMK3 board to mount in the cab so i can easily play either game. Also want to restore the outside of the cab so it looks new.

I want to finish my saturn collection and maybe my pal 32x collection. And sell some of the crap I never play with and don't feel any affection for.

Amen, brother.
I think 2003 will see me fleshing out my NEO*GEO stash (only have one game thus far). And with those AES prices, I'm certain i wouldnt be buying just for collection purposes :P

I'm glad to see so many of you saying "play more, buy less". That means there will be less competition for me this year. Excellent.
I plan to play more AND buy more :)
I'm on target to finish my Genesis, Sega CD, and Saturn collections this year. That wll wrap up all of my US Sega console collections.

Me, I'm gonna try to finish some these rpgs I have a backlog of.
Probably also play more and buy less for the time being, unless I find something to add to a collection I really want. Also start building my DC game collection too.
I'm going to stop being so cheap. No, that doesn't mean I'm going to start buying everything I want no matter what the price, but I'm going to stop buying huge lots just to save money. No more "as is" auctions. No more buying broken Nintendos to fix and make a pathetic $10 profit on.
I have way too much crap that I will never get rid of. So from now on, I'm going to think about what I buy in terms of whether I really want it instead of what a good deal it is.

Actually, I'm just going to make time to PLAY MORE. There's always something that sucks my attention to it (usually the Internet) that pulls me away from the game systems. Oh sure I'll buy some here and there, but not like I did on my "must buy games" spree I used to go on.
I'd like to fill out my 3DO collection more, as this is just an incredible system. I will get Sewer Shark. Oh yes, it will be mine.

You can add me to the "Play More, Buy Less" group though there ae a few systems I'd like to flesh out my collections a bit more. I have a very small Saturn collection so I want to get more games for it and I'd like to get more N64 games as well. I'd like to reach an even hundred games for my Dreamcast (I think I have around 65 right now) and 200 SNES games (I have about 170 or so now). Once I reach those goals, I'll probably consider my collection for those systems finished...I'm not really the type to go for every single game of a given system.

Oh yeah, I also want to get more fruit under my user name...I have just a cherry right now. Makes me feel like a beginner. Perhaps I'll go for 1,000 posts overall...that means I'd probably have to average about 2 posts a day... :D

I finally have a disposable income, so I plan to buy more first and foremost, and play more, secondly (though a very close second! Soooo many games!). Also, I plan on finding a game that will NOT disappoint me (Warcraft III and Age of Mythology, you're killing me! Get out of my house!). I have high hopes for Master of Orion III, and hopefully, that will be the game to turn my trend of losing hope for PC sequels. I'm going to buy the Gamecube (finally), the E Reader for the GBA, the Gamecube/GBA link, and immerse myself in Animal Crossing. I'm addicted, and I don't even have the game yet! Oh, and I'm going to try to find out who I have to talk to to get River City Ransom as one of the five buck card games.
