Just got the last 4 sealed US Dreamcast games, NFL 2K, NBA 2K1, ESPN NBA, and Tomb Raiders Chronicle to complete my complete sealed US Dreamcast collection, 5 years in the making, though not as challenging as Neo-Geo, I put in the same effort finding prestine copies.

I still have 15 games that I need to find prestine copies (my current ones of those 15 have either cracks on the case, or rip/tear on the seal).

Finally. My 620th game just happens to be my 200th NES game. What a wonderful day. The game that put me there was The Hunt For Red October.
Also I bought Madden '94 for the Genesis-that's makes 50.

250 games (approx 20 short)

260 different games.
Approx 282 total games.
Want to make 300 by the end of the year.

Broke almost all of those goals

I have over 100 NES games
Have 25 Genesis games
And i have over 300 games now.

I have 21 systems now.
21 SNES games

I am buying my cousins SNES stuff off of him soon so that will put me around 30 SNES games.
I also might get my grandmothers which will out me between 35-40 games.

Other smaller goals i have accomplished recently
15+ PS2 games
10 GCN games
20 Xbox games
15+ DC games
5 GBA games
And i have gotten almost 3/4 of my systems boxes.

It came down to the wire, but today I picked up my 300th Gamecube game. To put it in perspective, my 100th game was back in Feb and was Wario Ware. I kept 95% of purchases to new games under $10 and most used for under $7. There were a few more expensive additions (ie Donkey Konga, MC Groove Dance Craze being the most at $45 and $40) but my average cost per game is well under $10 a piece. Number 300 was a little of a splurge as Alien Hominid would be tough to find for under $30.

Well.. it's the first day of 2005 today.. so in a way.. the original intent of this thread is now "moot" (Hmmm.. maybe we should start a new one for 2005?).

Anyways.. I finally reached game #500 today! (See the link in my sig.) At the beginning of the year.. I just wanted to reach #365 (I figured I wanted a game to play for each day of a year.); but i really went apesh*t with my buying; and soon surpassed it.

I'm seriously thinking of scaling back for awhile, and perhaps concentrating on an "aspect" I know nothing about or own nothing of.. "memorabilia". Any suggestions on where to start? I really wanted that Klonoa "plush doll" on eBay last week.. but couldn't see myself shelling out $50+ for it (ESPECIALLY since I don't even have the game yet either.. it's a bit "spendy".). Right now.. I've got my sights set on a Vagrant Story comic book though.. it's a bit cheaper; and might make a good start.

[VinnyT]

I got an r8 on the 28th, so it still counts.

[Slipdeath]

Well im almost at 100 games AGAIN. I was at 500 at one point. *Puts head down and starts to cry*

[izret101]

I didn't think i would make 300 by the end of 2004.
I had 310ish and after i got a package on the first and an early birthday gift from my cousin i have almost 325.

I hope to break 500 in 2K5!!
