Collecting Milestone Thread 2004

[digitalpress]

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.

Who wants to go first? I haven't hit a milestone in awhile but I've got a few coming soon

[MarioAllStar2600]

I reach my milestone Thursday night. Finish the new gameroom. Its going to be so pretty. The sheetrocking is all done. So I start spackling tonight, tommorow, and wendsday. Paint thursday then I can start moving stuff in. WAHOO!

I also want to get 5 arcade machines (total) by the end of the year. I already ahve 3, and im working on my 4th.

i'm not absolutely sure as i haven't counted in a while but i must have reached 500 games during the last 2 weeks

[badinsults]

I hope to get my 100th snes cart this year. Only need 20 more.

[udisi]

well I already stated this in another thread, but I reached my 1000th unique game last week.

[Red Warrior]

I've reached a few milestones so far this year. Well, I s'pose you could call them milestones. I do anyway.

I reached 1000 unique games for my collection just a few days ago. Another milestone would be me FINALLY buying a Genesis after all these years. Never thought I'd ever own one, but I'm glad I finally do. A third milestone would be getting my very first Sega Master System game... which is Sonic the Hedgehog from some other country that's not the U.S. That may not be a milestone to some, but to me, it's a big deal.

Here's to another successful year of gaming full of rare finds, quality imports, and two new Metroid games!

[Jasoco]

Reached 500 games a few days ago. Can't find the receipts to figure out which random PSX game it was, but I made it.

[VinnyT]

Only 19 more games to go until I reach 100 Genesis games.

Then i'll sell all the games I really don't want.

Also, to find a working copy of Pirates Gold!.

I found one last year, but after I brought it home, I realized that it was an empty cart.

[Dangerboy]

As far as recently, I guess finally aquiring all the released Laseractive hardware would be a milestone.

I'm less than 45 games away from 4,000 total. Seeing how I missed all the other milestones (1k, 2k, 3k,) I am very psyched about NOT missing this one.

...

Does sitting through an entire JB Harold Murder game count?

I got my first proto yesterday.

[Nature Boy]

MILESTONE #1
Picked up a handful of VCS commons (to celebrate me re-arranging my games room this past weekend) which put me over 100 for the system (107 to be exact). That's my first 100+ game system.

MILESTONE #2
....to be determined....

[Rogmeister]

I haven't reached any milestones yet but some I hope to try for...

Complete set of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine
200 SNES games (I think I'm only about a dozen away from this)
200 PS1 games (might not reach this in 2004 as I need over 60)
100 Dreamcast Games (about 2 dozen away)
...and buy an Xbox...maybe...

[tynstar]

I reached 1000 unique games. I dont know what # 1000 was but most likley a Genesis game.

I also reached over 400 boxed Genesis games. I hope to be over 600 Genesis games by the end of the year.

[Qixmaster]

to keep building (even when i'm not motivated) my nes collection. I am at about 500 different games, about half of them boxed (this does not include variations and what not.... with those, its more around 530. I hope to keep getting boxes and instructions for games i already have that need these. That's about it

[gamergary]

Going to try and break 300 total games and get 10 more japanese game guides.

[eolsen]

I don't have any so far this year, so I'll just put down some goals:

1. 150 unique SNES games...about 90 now
2. 75 unique Genesis games...about 30 now
3. 100 unique 2600 games...about 50 now
4. Complete my 32X collection
5. Get a SMS, DC, TG-16, and Intellivision

and just add on to everything else in my collection and make more of the room game oriented

[TRM]

I want to get 400 NES games. I wrote a list of around 60 titles that I wanted to get this year--if I can get all of them, I'll be close to reaching my goal for the year.

[ubersaurus]

I'm about 60-70 games away from hitting the big 1000. I'm also halfway there to getting all the vis games, and I couldn't be sadder about it!

[Achika]

I obtained a complete Official Dreamcast magazine (plus all discs & sleeves) back on the 16th....

[Dahne]

Got my very first games for a system I don't even own. Ecco the Dolphin for the Sega CD and King's Quest IV for...some sort of old computer, or something.

Also rearranged the game room so it looks much nicer. True sign of geekdom: "Hmm...Would "Legend of Zelda" go under L or Z?"
