    the biggest goal for 2010 is for my wife and i to buy a house. if this happens, the room of doom will have to make the move as well and be rebuilt from the ground up.

    i should easily pass 4000 games in 2010, though game buying will continue to take a back seat to my baby daughter and savings to the new house

    i would like to pick up a famicom disk system and a sega mark iii/jpn master system

    i will continue to fill in holes in my saturn, sega cd, genesis, master system and game gear games

    i will continue to fill holes in my various pre crash systems

    My only goal is to sell off my entire cartridge collection. I'm happy with emulation and with stuff coming out like the SNES/NES Power Packs, I really won't miss any of it.

    Won't be easy though. Been working on selling my NES collection since late October and I still have around 600 carts left. And I haven't even touched my Genesis, 2600, SMS & INTV collections yet either.

    Last time I did this, I picked about the easiest goal possible, and I still managed to completely fail at it. :P All I really wanted to do in 2009 was finish off the few games I started in late 2008, and I still have the two main ones left. Apathy for the games has been my main problem, but I still really want to get them off of my plate and shall aim for that once again. Here's to hoping I won't be making the same post on the cusp of 2011.

    As for new goals:

    Give my stuff a thorough dusting.
    Finally get around to Star Ocean 4, probably just in time to put off Resonance of Fate also, haha.
    Beat the last few GB/GBC games I haven't played through yet, so I can move on to more GBA games.
    Consider the length and content of games before I start them so I don't get overwhelmed by playing nothing but long-commitment games.

    Hmmm, that's about it. I'm not too concerned about buying. I won't pass on great deals of course, but with limited space and more than enough to play, I don't foresee buying loads of stuff.

    1. Weed through all of my old games and sell off the titles I'll never actually play.
    2. Weed through all of my consoles and accessories and sell off the duplicates (or repair broken items).
    3. Set up one of my two Xboxes for emulation.
    4. Weed through all of my video game magazines and sell off or give away anything newer than 2002, and get rid of duplicate issues. Get them all bagged and some boarded.
    5. Archive all of the games I worked on, and store them away. Scan or take pictures of the memorabilia I collected working on various titles and put it online.
    6. Develop at least one XBN title.

    - Get Power Lords for Odyssey2 so I can complete the U.S. collection.
    - Get a Japanese PS2.
    - Attend CGE2010.
    - Start rebuilding my collection with games I'll actually play.
    - Finish up DDL and release it to the masses.

    1. Only buy current gen games when affordable and "gotta-have" status. In other words, hardly any at all.
    2. Be content with playing a large portion of my 154 (and constantly increasing since they're really affordable) Xbox games.
    3. Ditto with my PSX, PS2, DC and Cube games.
    4. Introduce my 8 yr old son to the retro side of gaming via our NES, Atari and Genny.
    5. Reach level 3000 with equally proportionate cannons in Pirates on Facebook.

    - Catalog my backlog so I can actually what what it is my gaming goals should be
    - Fix or replace my FDS unit
    - Get a TG16

    That's about it until I finish the first one.

    -Beat many of the games that I currently have listed as incomplete (68 games at current count).
    -Get a cheap PS3.
    -Get a better container for my collection. Maybe one that I can organize it better with.

    A cheap four shelve tower that I got a few years ago. It has enough room for me to put everything in, but not enough to make it easy to sort through. I've actually migrated a few games to a small book shelve I wasn't using for the purposes making my more commonly played games easily accessible.

    Well, I've found that some upright CD racks work great for cartridges, if that helps.

    I never thought about that. Actually, now that it's been brought up, a majority of my collection consists of games that have jewel or DVD type cases, all of which would fit neatly into a CD rack.

    A friend of mine took all of her disk based games and placed all the disks in a CD folder, then stored the cases in a box elsewhere. Great space saver, but not all that attractive (and, in my opinion, it makes theft far too easy).

    Stop buying so many games. I've got pretty good at it, and I don't want to buy anything unless I really want it this year. I'm outta room with what I have/don't play.
