#1 2006 Collecting Goal Post it here now Check back year end

[Buyatari]

There are several things on my want list most will involve me getting very lucky.

So #1 on my list which shouldn't be too hard to come by is..........



GREY NWC

[Nez]

Finish my DC collection only 9 more to go!

[vahn401]

I didn't set a goal for myself this year, but 3 years ago, my goal was to personally own ever PS1 Rpg released in the U.S. Successfully done.

2 years ago I attempted to collect every U.S. N64 game released, started with 10-15, ended the year with about 160-165. Thus I failed

This year, no real goal, just open collecting.

Next year, as of right now I've got close to 100 PS1 games, I'm going to shoot to reach 300 by the end of next year.

[fergojisan]

I was hoping to finish my complete 7800 collection this year, but I fell short. I should be able to do it this year, hopefully anyway ( as long as it's not too crazy expensive LOL ).

I need:

Mean 18 Ultimate Golf (Complete)
Tank Command (Box and Docs only)
Titlematch Pro Wrestling (Box and Docs only)

I keep thinking about getting the ResQSoft Klax and Sentinel if they're still available, but I don't consider them as needed to complete the collection, they're just nice extras for me.

[EricRyan34]

ummm.....my goal is to just try and catch up with everyone else LOL


meh, just do what i have been doin for a year, just collect stuff whenever I get the money around to do so.

[Blanka789]

Finally get a Laseractive.

[Enixis]

-Collect every single PAL DC game (1/5 the way there)

-Own every 'Tales of' game

-Own every Korean exclusive PSP title.

[ig88vsbobafett]

Finish my DC collection only 9 more to go!

Same here but i have 80 to go

[McBacon]

I'm not a full collection guy, I'm a "buy the ones I like" guy, which leaves me with quite small checklists.

Among others, i'd love to finish my Dreamcast one, with only about 40 titles left.

[hydr0x]

currently: none
if my financial situation changes: complete (maybe excluding Samba de Amigo Boxset) my PAL Dreamcast collection (32 to go!)

2nd goal would be to vastly improve my 2d shmup and beatemup collection :D

[Geddon_jt]

Hmm. Being realistic here...
completing my US Turbografx/TurboDuo huCard/CD/SuperCD set is my #1 2006 goal.

[roushimsx]

I'd really like to get every Sega published and Sega developed title on the PS2 by the end of the year.

[MarkMan]

I'm at 555 for games.

I really don't have a # goal... But I really want to finally add these to my collection:

Earthbound
Akumajou Dracula X: Chi No Rondo

[Mayhem]

Only thing I can think of is getting close to completing the US Gamecube collection (323 and rising!).

[Rogmeister]

Mine is more of a scaling back goal or a non-collecting goal...

Buy no more than 12 video games in 2006

My goal for this year was to buy no more than 20...I'm not sure if I managed that or not as I haven't marked down everything but I will for next year. It was probably close for this year's goal. I do have a new system, the Nintendo DS, so limiting myself to 12 games (an average of one game a month) may not be viable but I'll try.

Now watch EGM screw me up by awarding me an XBox360 in their current contest... :D

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

I really dont set goals but id like to add these to my collection

Menace beach
Little samson
Clock tower 2
Mutant league hockey

[scooterb23]

To whittle down my collection somewhat for most systems.

And to get my Game Boy collection up to at least 200. I'm at 105-110 right now.

[Dangerboy]

1. Pay off my 1st of 2 credit cards
2. Track down more PSX things I need (see banner below)
3. Make the above 2 work together.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Have a complete US NES collection.

[jajaja]

My goal is to sell all my doubles of NES games (maybe 200).
For buying, I hope to find a complete Rodland, hopefuly the spanish release which is PAL-B :)

[s1lence]

To get a job (was laid off) so I can afford to purchase games. After that I figure I'm going to try to finish off the 32x , SMS and NES sets.

[le geek]

completing my US Turbografx/TurboDuo huCard/CD/SuperCD set is my #1 2006 goal.

Cool! I often have a hard time maintaining interest in specific collections, but I'm pretty sure I'm going for a Turbografx collection too. Sticking to near complete HuCards (game/manual/case if it came with one), I have 48 (46 complete). I doubt I will complete the HuCard portion in 2006, but my goal is to get a lot closer.

Another goal is to complete my collection of games by Treasure! I have 19 and including some variants I have 9 to go!

[goatdan]

Mine is also not so much of a collecting goal as it is a playing goal. My goal is to beat at least 20% of my current gen games (probably 200 right now with maybe 1% completed, I think :( ) and to better organize it all.

[briskbc]

I have a few goals in mind.


GAMING
1) Replace all the PS 1 games I have had to sell over the years.
2) 75 Sealed Dreamcast games.
3) Buy a boxed 3DO or TurboGrafx

Nothing too far out of reach.


NON GAMING
1) To pool up $3000 in cash by Dec 1 via eBay buying and selling.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I cant set a goal for myself, because I've got a car to buy, and then I've got a PC to make not-suck. After that, I'll be back in, but until then, very little gaming purchases for me. Hopefully I can make it.

[xfrumx]

Post a room pics, participate in DP secret santa 2006, finihs my complete 32x US cart collection, and get all sega games on PS2 that arent on gamecube also.

[DDCecil]

I'm going to finish my Sega CD collection this year. It's been 6 long years, and it's going to end this year.

Opening my own store is also one of my goals, but that probably won't even happen this year (again), since my teeth and credit card are both a huge priority.

[drwily008]

Good topic Adam. I love seeing what other people prioritize in collecting.

Here are mine:

1. Buy a brand New Turbo Duo in box to replace the one I sold in 2005.

2. Complete my Sega Master System collection (I have all of the rares except Buster Douglass & Sonic)!

3. Might as well finish off a 32X collection (I'm halfway there).

4. Replenish all of the loose Genesis and Jaguar games I sold in 2005 with boxed complete ones.

[drwily008]

Oh yeah...I forgot the biggest ones:

5. To build a storage shed out back so I can get all of the non-gaming related crap out of my "Room-of-doom".

6. (#5 will need to be done first) Take tons of pictures of my room-of-doom and submit to DP!

7. (again #5 is almost nessacary) Document EVERYTHING I have both for collecting (so I stop buying doubles) and for insurance purposes!

[Geddon_jt]

completing my US Turbografx/TurboDuo huCard/CD/SuperCD set is my #1 2006 goal.

Cool! I often have a hard time maintaining interest in specific collections, but I'm pretty sure I'm going for a Turbografx collection too. Sticking to near complete HuCards (game/manual/case if it came with one), I doubt I will complete that portion in 2006, but my goal is to get a lot closer.

Another goal is to complete my collection of games by Treasure! I have 19 and including some variants I have 9 to go!

I've been lazily pursuing the "complete" collection for about the past 3 years now LOL . I tell you what, it is quite a challenge! I have hit some milestones, though. I have a lot of the rarest games out of the way (Bonk 3 hu, about 90% of the rarest Super CDs) but the ones remaining (Magical Chase, Bonk 3 CD, Soldier Blade etc) I have just been too lazy to plunk down the cash for. For many of the rarest games, such as Dynastic Hero, M+M3, Terraforming, etc, it is as challenging just finding them for sale as it is paying for them! Also, I stumbled upon a great lot of stuff at a local flea, where i got Ys I and II (non packin complete with map), Bonk 3 hu, and a lot of late-release hus for $20 each. Collecting the hus complete is something I will get to after I actually have the games. My dream is to actually put the hus in baseball-card protector style pages in a giant binder, so the boxes and cases aren't as important to me as they are on the CD games.

Oh, and the Treasure thing is a great goal. One hopefully I will set for myself someday.
Sorry about the thread derailment!

[snes_collector]

Hmmm....I'd say have atlease 150 SNES games by next year, I've got a little over 110 right now. Finding a TurboGrafx-16 or Saturn in the wild would be awesome. Exceding 75 Genesis and Gamecube games would be great too. Let's hope it all happens :D

[izret101]

3 goals**
only the first one i am really striving for

1) Would like to get 1 variation of every Mortal Kombat game released in the US CIB.
I can always try picking up variations as i go or in later years ;)

Most of these are longshot goals that i will probably not actively focus on
2) I would like to hit 600 games by the end of the year.

3)
20 DS Games
50 PS games
45 PS2 Games
35 DC Games
40 SNES games
50 Genesis
35 PC
35 N64
35 Xbox
45 2600 games
150 NES games
25 GCN
Complete R-Zone collection

**Goal number three is actually made up of multiple sub goals

[Aussie2B]

I didn't set a goal for myself this year, but 3 years ago, my goal was to personally own ever PS1 Rpg released in the U.S. Successfully done.

Next year, as of right now I've got close to 100 PS1 games, I'm going to shoot to reach 300 by the end of next year.

Wow, you've got every US-released PSX RPG but you still haven't hit 100? You must have an excellent quality ratio. I'm going for that goal myself, but I've already surpassed 150 games and still have a bunch of RPGs left to get. I think I have a half decent quality ratio, but then again, I also have crap like The Mummy kicking around. x_x

Let's see... Goals for 2006... I have various goals, like the aforementioned one, but I seriously don't see them getting completed before 2007. So for some realistic goals:

1. Beat every Game Boy game I own (I know, not a collecting goal).
2. Bump my GB/GBC collection up to 50 (after completing number 1; I'll need more games of course :) ).
3. Hit 700 games total.

[anagrama]

Main focus for the year: Finish my PAL Mega Drive collection - just under 200 to go, with almost all the rarer ones done. Dunno if I'll get 'em all this year, but should be able to get pretty close. Then start on variants & Genesis exclusives...

[Rogmeister]

Here's another one for me which should be quite easy...make my 5000th post on this board. After this one, I only need 837 more to reach that. All I need do to to reach that is to average 2.29 posts a day... :D

[PapaStu]

Well since I completed my first collection this year I have that satisfaction of knowing what getting there feels like so action plan for 2006 includes

Get the remaining 2 systems for the US NGPC collection to have EVERYTHING US released for the system.

Get those 80 or so remaining DC games, and the small handfull of variants... then decide how crazy i'll get for the rest of the systems and accessories.

Get those two done so I can delve back into the PSOne collection and make a dent in those 500 or so games I still need, and of course aquire variants. Variants are good.

[FlufflePuff]

Well, after a hiatus from collecting, due to financial situations and then being busy after getting promoted I want to pick up where I left off 8 months ago and finish last year's goals this year. Those being:

1) Finish NES Collection. 182 to go

2) Finish VB Collection

3) Make up my damn mind on which stand up arcade cab I want.

4) Upgrade the damn tv. RCA 32" isn't cutting it.

[jcheatle]

I suppose I'm also looking for gainful employment so that I can afford to spend a little more. At 410 NES games currently, I'm not going to come close to finishing it for a few years, if ever. But, 500 could be within reach depending on how money shakes out this year.

Also, I'd like to finish up my "really want to play" list of games... I figure there's about 15-20 SNES, 5-10 DC and PSX, and a handful of others.

And on a completely unrelated note, rather than games, I'd like to "collect" enough credits so that I can student teach in Spring 2007 and graduate. :)

[tholly]

It seems like a lot of ppl want to finish their 32x collection....and I'm one of them...

so, my 3 major goals are:

1) Finish my Sega 32x collection (Brutal, Pitfall, Primal Rage, Spider-man, & World Series Baseball)

2) Finish my Nintendo Power collection (I have issues 1-200, 2 variants of #92, with the other 2 #92 variants coming in the mail right now) (once I get those 2 in, I'm laying them all out for pictures and then people on here can tell me if I'm missing any other variants)

3) Work on making my loose NES games complete (I have a list of boxes and manuals I need, and I found someone with a huge portion of them, but I don't have the spare $325 right now....and probably won't until sometime around May or June)

[wrldstrman]

I would like to pick up the last 70 instruction books and 300 boxes to make my nes collection complete..

[evil_genius]

To be the proud owner of a Neo geo 4 slot cabinet.

[snes_collector]

To be the proud owner of a Neo geo 4 slot cabinet.

Me too. I told my mom if I could get anything for Christmas I'd get a Neo Geo 4 Slot. Didn't happen LOL

[Mattiekrome]

Get more than 50% of known SNES/N64/GBA DEMO releases in my collection...

So far its just SNES Tetris Attack, SF2, SF2 Turbo, KGJ Winning Run, NCAA Basketball. N64 Zelda Majora Mask (Gold), Jet Force Gemini, Star Wars Rogue Squadron. GBA is only Mario and Luigi.

Maybe even get a Starfox Weekend cart, or one of the DK Blockbuster competition carts...

[cyberfluxor]

The #1 thing I'm going for is a NeoGeo Pocket Color. Till then I'll just continue buying games I love on other systems.

[jhd7]

1. Get the last two games for my US TG16/Duo collection:
Dynastic Hero
Might & Magic III Isles of Terra

2. Get boxes, manuals and maps to complete my SNES games:
Aerobiz Supersonic box, map
Breath of Fire manual, maps, box
Chrono Trigger box
Earthbound box (big or display)
Final Fantasy II manual,map, box
Genghis Kahn II manual, map
Nobunaga's Ambition manual, map
Obitus box
Romance 3 Kingdoms IV manual
Rise of the Phoenix box, map
Secret of Mana manual, map, box
Shadowrun poster
Sim Ant manual
Soul Blazer poster
Space Ace box
Super Mario All Stars box
Super Ninja Boy manual
Ys poster
Zelda Link to the Past map

3. Find these SNES games complete:
Brain Lord
Castlevania Dracula X
EVO Search for Eden
Harvest Moon
King Arthur & Knights of Justice
Mega Man X2
Mega Man X3
Metal Marines
Ogre Battle
PTO II
Super Bonk
Terranigma (English version)
Wizardry V


#1 & #2 seem reasonable, #3 is a longshot.

Jeff D

[Haoie]

Get 125+ PS titles [currently, 93] and invariably run out of space to store them. It should be easily attainable.

[dbiersdorf]

Since the GameCube is near death, I'd like to finish off my personal collection on that (probably end at around 50 total games).

I wouldn't mind completeing my personal N-Gage collection either, now that the system is 6 feet under.

[Hammy]

this years mission: to get a tekken 2 dedicated :) and maybe a soul edge to replace my Mk II

[davidleeroth]

1. Leftover from this year, complete my Treasure collection including all the major variants. Missing Japanese Alien Soldier and a couple of easy ones.

2. Put up a homepage. Like that would ever happen. :(

[Niku-Sama]

first to get a job that pays much better than what i am getting (i.e. $10 or more)


and then onto 100 games on a few systems

i could do NES and PS2 easily but i would like SNES too

[johno590]

There are a few things I would like to do this year. They are...

1) Get over 100 SNES games (not too hard of a thing to do, but we will see)

2) Get box/manuals/styrofoam for my systems.

That's about it... next year I won't have as much time to buy and collect stuff, so it wont be a very big year for gaming.

[diskoboy]

To find a cheap pair of real sega maracas and twin sticks for the DC.

Standards are pretty low since the store that had everything around here closed up shop a few months ago. Dreamcast stuff is now few and far between.

Oh... And get the battery in my DC replaced. (not really collecting related, but still something I've been meaning to do.)

[drewbrim]

My goal for this year.....is to come up with a goal! I seem to collect so randomly compared to many of you. The way I haphazardly pick things up I'll probably be completing all of my collections at the same time 5-10 years down the road.

So maybe this year I'll try and come up with a "purpose" and stick with it.

[Niku-Sama]

i do the same man but i just picked those off the top of my head

[Curlis]

My goal for next year is to work on getting every PS1 RPG released in the U.S. Also, I need to get through a massive backlog of games.

[Rejinx]

Hmmm....

All non-Aladen Camerica game for NES
A NES Clone top loader
and RC Pro Am 2

[Amy Rose]

I didn't really have a goal up 'til seeing this thread, but I miswell jump on the bandwagon :)

- Get 10 complete NGPC games
- Find a complete Amiga CD 32 machine, since my dad finally found all my games for it!
- Buy a Sonic demo disc
- Get my collection up to 400 (currently at 250)
- Get up to 300 individual Sonic items
- Get a complete PAL and NTSC-US Knuckles Chaotix and a PAL complete Kolibri
- ... and a complete PAL 32x <_<

I think that's all I'm going to be able to handle o_O

[LongDillon1@aol.com]

I want to complete the sms Us collection.Right now Im at 27.But I have Buster Douglas,Dick Tracy,Castle of Illussion.All the hard ones except the US released Sonic the hedgehog.Anyone wanna help me complete it send me a list if what you got.

Dillon
