Collecting Milestone Thread 2004

[Cmosfm]

Once I get 10 more NES games I will be at 500!

Can't wait!

[Mayhem]

Minor milestone... now managed to get all Sierra C64 carts complete following acquisition of box/manual for Sammy Lightfoot (check the rarity list, it's a tough one to find!).

[Balloon Fight]

I just reached the 100th mark on different NES carts. Woo hoo!

For the record, it was Life Force.

[MarkMan]

Not as impressive as other milestones reached. I recently started seriously collecting in December and a few days ago hit my 300 game mark. The 300th game being Bubble Bobble(NES); complete.

I hope to hit 500 before year's end.

Join the club. I hit 300 in January, and now I'm at 340ish. Hopefully I'll be at atleast 550 before the end of the year

Yo!

500th game reached!

[tynstar]

A milstone for me has been reached. I have not bought a game in weeks.

I finally passed 100 unique NES games and completed my set of Tengen carts with a Tengen Tetris (very happy about that one). Also, I'm just two carts shy of getting every Square game released on a Nintendo system.

You got Rad Racer?

[FlufflePuff]

Yep, both 1 and 2.

My first 2004 milestone, though trivial, is also pretty unusual. I completed my Sega Pico collection on Friday.

Good. Because that's probably as close to a complete Square collection as I'll get until the prices on the FF games drop for the NES. Though, I do have a bunch of the Final Fantasy PSX games. My brother's a freaking FFFreak!

That's not trivial to me. I've been meaning and wanting to start a Pico collection. I currently have no funds to fund a collection like that, but when I do, I'll start on the Pico if only just to brighten up the shelves and make people say, "Whoa... what the hell are those?" "Sega made that?" "I had that as a kid!" "Whatis that? Some sort of Leap Pad?"

I've had an excellent 2004 finding several nes games Iv've been looking for. Starting a great SMS collection, and my FINAL FANTASY ORB!!

[qbertandernie]

is that the big box pico system or the small box pico system? big box came at the expensive price when the system came out, small box i saw at ames for $39.99

The only thing I'm working on in my collection right now is to get back a copy of all the Atari 2600 games I had as a kid. I'm doing this by hazy memories...but I think I've got the list correct.

And, I am just 6 carts away.

Atari Video Cube
Harbor Escape
Artillery Duel (single ender) - I have a double ender, but I'm trying to be correct about this
Pooyan
Skiing
Tron Deadly Discs

and I need a better copy of Fire Fly.

If I get this done, I'll put up a picture...the Atari 2600 was the system I cut my teeth on, and the games I had then are still my favorites...and I want them all back. I want this done more than you know.

I'm also going to work on shifting the focus of my collection. Basically, I don't want my collection to get much bigger. 1,300-1,400 games is enough...I'm happy with it.

But, I have a lot of games I don't like very much. It's the price you pay for buying everything you find I guess...so I'm going through and playing most of my games, those I don't like, are going to be traded away (hopefully) for stuff I want. You'll know when I'm ready...

This is actually a hard decision for me...I loive video game collecting, but I don't do enough playing...probably because I don't enjoy much of what I actually have.

I have decided that I'm not going for any major complete collections...so it's time to vote out the weakest links in my collection

I hit a kind of a milestone last saturday. I managed to find my first ever game.com games. I've had the system for about a year or two , but this was the first time i ever found any of the games , i actually found five of them , frogger , centipede , williams arcade classics , indy 500 , and jeopardy , even better , they were all mint in the box.

The other thing was that i found both the system and the games at KB toy stores.

Ok so my milestone is kinda a crock compared to most of the ones in this thread , but hey , its progress for me.

[undead455]

I just hit 500 games today woohoo

[Cobra Commander]

I just broke the 400 game mark.
The game: Final Fantasy Origins. Yay me.

[sisko]

Just broke the 500 game mark ...kinda...

I've got over 500, but there are several I really don't care about, and will be selling shortly, which will put me back under it

After PhillyClassic last weekend, I hit 400 NES games. Actually, I have a few more than 400, but I haven't updated my Excel spreadsheet of games so I don't know the exact number. I'm also not sure where this brings me in terms of total games.....I'd guess somewhere between 550-600 games.
