    Default What is Your Immediate (this very moment) Collection Goal?

    Whether it be "just to start getting into collecting N64" or "hunting down the rare PSX games" or "only need 25 titles to finish ColecoVision".... what are your immediate collecting goals?

    I am 9 games away from a complete Sega CD collection, and the toughest one at this point I think is "Crime Patrol". It's so close I can taste it. Yum!

    I thought my 3DO collection was complete but as I was rounding them up for a really cool picture to show everyone I realized that I'm missing a few of the Putt Putt games and the "mathemagic" sort-of game. GAH!

    I'll share the complete collection pics as soon as they're really complete.

    My current goal is to get all my favourite Dreamcast games (and trust me - there's a lot of 'em!)

    PilotWings for SNES is another cart I've been trying to track down.

    Some of the rarer Saturn games are always on the agenda too (e.g. Panzer Dragoon series)

    That's about it for now...

    My current collection goal is to pick up anything I can find cheap (10 and under) for the next-gen systems (Dreamcast on up). Also, I want to add more good games to my PlayStation collection.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    I've got a few goals left.
    • I'd like to get an Atari Video Music. I really, really would. I'm fully aware of how intrinsically goofy they are, and I still want one.
    • I need to get some games for my Atari 400 and TI 99/4A. And get some more games for the NES, though I'm being choosy there and just getting stuff that interests me; very few systems do I go on an all-out get-every-title crusade.
    • I'm still casually picking up 2600 stuff whenever possible. You'd be amazed at some of the gaps in my commons for that machine - I just pick up what I can when I can.
    • As if I have room for one more marquee, I'd still like to hunt down the headers for Star Wars and Joust.
    • Back-burner goals: Astrocade, Channel F, Arcadia 2001 and whatever games I can scrounge for them. Not very high-priority though.
    • Before I die, I want one perfectly-working coin-op. Upright, cocktail, doesn't matter. Pac-Man or Galaga or Tron would be sweet.


    I did say I have a few goals, didn't I?

    Basically, right now, just filling out my collection. It's small and there are even many consoles I'm missing. I seem to have a disproportionate amount of rare and sought after stuff. I guess I've gone after quality rather than quantity in the past and it's time to reverse that...

    My immediate goal is to finish off my Intellivision collection. But, I have about 15 titles remaining, and I am starting to wonder if I will ever do it. I have limits, and I won't pay more than $30 for a classic cart.

    Otherwise, I want to re-claim my childhood Atari 2600 collection. I am only short a couple of carts, Pengo, A Xonox double ender, etc. This is my collection that I sold off when I was a kid, and now I have begun to try and find all my old carts.

    I still need 3 games for my European 32X collection and 50 games for my European Saturn Collection.
    But with the pace I'm going now, it might be another year before I've got all those.

    My most immediate collection goal isn't really my collection, but rather how I wish to display it. I've got a current home remodeling project going on, but when I'm done that, I'm going to create the ultimate game station. It's going to be an arcade cabinet with a TV for the monitor, and have all my consoles hooked up to it, with the joystick controlling the simpler consoles(controller option still available for whenever I want to get the "real feel"). I'm also going to have my MAME PC connect to the monitor, so I can MAME out as need be. All this and possibly a supergun. I know it's a lot for one machine, but with some planning I'm pretty sure I can pull it off. I'm also considering building some game racks right into the side of the cabinet, space permitting.

    Soon my precious. soon.

    GAME GOALS:

    I'm not really close enough to any complete libraries to have completion of any as a goal. So I guess the goal for games is just to grab whatever I don't have that's cheap.

    CONSOLE GOALS REALISTIC:

    TI-99
    Sega Nomad

    CONSOLE GOALS FARFETCHED:

    VECTREX
    NEO-GEO AES

    GOALS FOR THE DISTANT FUTURE:

    an Arcade cabinet- any but preferably Centipede or Galaga
    a Game Room- I REALLY want to display my collection in a way that's more interesting that Avon boxes stacked on a pool table. I can see it in my head and it WILL be cool as hell.

    I'm still doing the Capcom thing. I have most of the common games. But getting some of the rarer ones is starting to get hard. I;m trying to avoid Ebay as much as possable so i guess its off to the flea markets for me on the weekends.
    I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"

    I'm all about the PCBs now. I've got a list of games I'm wanting, but I think top on that list is Batsugun, Battle Garegga, the Metal Slug series (Neo MVS carts) and a Capcom CPSII board so I can get started with that collection.

    To stop buying every damn game I find that's cheap and organize my collection for presentation and ease of use.
    Fear your thoughts because they become your words
    Fear your words because they become your actions
    Fear your actions because they become your habits
    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

    Believe it or not, my current goal is to get rid of stuff!

    I have lots of stuff I don't want and I need to clear it all out to make room for stuff I do want. Then I will get back to focussing on real collecting goals.

    As of right now I am looking for complete Genesis and Master System games (though nearly any complete classic game I am willing to buy if the price is right). I would like to have around 3,000 total games by years end and I am rather quickly approaching that. Need to sell a bunch of stuff off soon though.

    Otherwise I am looking at filling in the remainder of my US Neo Geo home cart collection.

    And as always, reorganizing everything I have to make it look presentable. I'll be done eventually I hope!

    Momentarily, I'd like to cross the frontier of 2000 Atari 2600 games

    Cheers,
