Collecting Milestones Thread 2010

[DigitalSpace]

2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009

For anybody who doesn't know how this goes, I'm going to quote Joe since his explanation is better than mine would be:

We've all got our milestones, whether it be "game number 1000", "complete collection x", "obtain all Activision cartridges", etc.

Each time you reach a milestone this year, enter it into this thread. It should be fun to check back in a year later to see what kind of progress we all made.

My first milestone of the year: acquiring my 80th Dreamcast game - F355 Challenge.

Just broke the 1000 total game mark. Credit going to Mega Man V for NES. MMV also marks my 350th NES game as well. Woot simultaneous milestones in one awesome game.

Long time I was not here. But now after a PC crash and complete new install winxp I think about this site again.

My milestone this year is for SNES:
Chrono Trigger Sample ROM (J) [complete] &
Seiken Densetsu 3 Sample ROM (J) [cartridge only]

[Loremaster]

This year? I got my first import games for the SNES, Genesis, DS, Saturn, Wii, and PS2.

[Ed Oscuro]

MILESTONE REACHED:

I have to trip over at least two things in order to get to 50% of my stuff, and there is a 1/4 chance that any particular thing I am looking for won't be found in the same day.

[DonMarco]

Milestone reached this week! 1500 strategy guides.

I did complete the Dimension self-published series with the Spyro the Dragon guide recently. Instead of paying $50-75 on amazon, I decided to wait for a cheap copy to get on eBay. I missed it the first time and got lucky two and a half years later, winning the game and guide for $10.

[bcks007]

1,300 ps2 game on February 27th.

1,500 video game, on February 20th.

Acquired a PS3 a few days ago, this might slow my ps2 game spending down quite a bit, if i get addicted to it.

[MattK]

My fiancee and I passed the 1,500 game milestone on March 1st.

We're not expanding our collection at the same pace as last year, but it's still growing at a steady pace.

Very nice Marco...I've got 6 or so of the Dimension guides so far.
I'm still cataloging my collection, but so far I'm about to hit the 1000 mark total with 1/2 of my collection cataloged.

For future benchmarks:

Atari 5200: 20+
Atari Jaguar: 20+
N64: 35+
SNES: 60+
32X: 10
Sega CD: 30+
Sega Genesis: 175+
SMS: 35+
Sega Saturn: 100+
PSX: 80

I hit 1400 games a few months ago. I told myself that for a new years resolution, I would hit 1500 by the end of the year.

I have less than 80 to go, but have been a little more picky about the games I have been bringing in lately

EDIT: I forgot that I got every Sega Sports football game for the years 93 - 2K5. That means I started with Sports Talk, then went into the NFL Series which went into the 2K series and ended with All-Pro Football.

It sounds wierd, so I might as well elaborate on this. I have no clue why I upped and decided on sports games, but I really enjoy the sega nfl games. So here is the break down of the games and the years they came out (I am pretty sure this is correct):
Sports Talk 93 (1992)
Sports Talk 2 (1993)
NFL Football 94 Starring Joe Montana (1993)
NFL 95 (1994)
NFL 97 (1996)
Prime Time Football Starring Deion Sanders (1996)
NFL 98 (1997)
NFL 2K (1999)
NFL 2K1 (2000)
NFL 2K2 (2001)
NFL 2K3 (2002)
NFL 2K4 (2003)
NFL 2K5 (2004)
All-Pro Football 2K8 (2007)

Sorry, but I am pretty proud of myself for having this.

Mine would have to be finding Aero Fighters (1 of 10 holy grails)

[DigitalSpace]

Got my 1530th game yesterday (Game & Watch Gallery 2 for the GBC - currently at 1531) and my 90th Dreamcast game (Dead or Alive 2 - currently at 91).

[MattK]
