[Chainsaw_Charlie]

So far it's getting my 70th nes game

[spoon]

@Perkar, That Fucking rocks dude! \M/

I myself am currently going crazy trying to collect for 16 systems

I just want to get some of the better titles for the systems and then start knocking out the harder to find ones if I like those.

Also try and keep up with all the stuff coming out.

Waht to do, what to do?

Greetings.

Last year I had one milestone reached and that was to get to play one of my top 3 favorite games on every system it was made for. That is ;

Demon Attack

So in my collection is the systems and cartridges for;

Atari 2600
Atari 8bit
Intellivision
Vic 20
Tandy
TI 99 4/A
PC JR.
Odyssey

And a sealed disk for the Commodore 64. The odyssey version is in a 128 in 1 miulti cart which was easier to get than the original. It took 2 years of waiting till the PC JR. one came up on eBay and it only cost me $20. Some people must have been watching because the next two brought in $40 and $50 within 3 weeks so I think I got a bargain.

The Atari versions rule. The 8bit being my favorite. Haven't taken the cart out of my 400 for years. probably stuck in there!

Still haven't found a new obsession yet.

Greetings Programs.

In 1981 My parents celebrated my moving out by buying my sister a 2600. I wanted something a bit more than just a game system so a year later in 1982 I bought a Sinclair ZX81 and a few months later my first game. Chess. Followed by a flight simulator and some maze game.

A year after that in 1983, to celebrate my first job I bought my first console. A Coleco. Stopping at the video store on the way home from buying this Coleco I saw they had rental games for sale. So instead of renting I bought my first used games. Smurfs and Frenzy. Only a month later my sister got tired of the 2600 and my parents let me "borrow" it. And only a few months after that the video store sold me a used Intellivision for $20.

Three consoles. One obsession. A new job with a chunky raise in 1985 and the demise of the video game world meant one had to look to computers. So $700 later I had an Atari 800xl setup to die for.

So the precedent started 20 years ago. Yard sales in the mid 80's started turning up video games. Buy it used gets lots more. More MORE!

Yesterday I got a Nintendo DS. this makes 52 different "systems" I have games for. After updating my game inventory from the last 4 months I noticed my total was up to 1003 games. I really can't say which was the 1000th game so I am going to consider it the metroid demo that came with the DS.

Come a long way from that ZX81 chess game....

I did some counting and found out I have over 50 racing games in my collection - 57, to be exact. Looking through my record of previous purchases, number 50 was GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing on the GBA, which I purchased in January.

Hitting the 1000 mark over Christmas was definitely my biggest accomplishment so far. Others were...
Hot Slots for $5
100 SNES games
Having an NES game for every letter of the alphabet
200 NES games
Lots of good shmups for PS and PS2
Started collecting for 5200, Colecovision, Intellivision, Master System, NGPC, and Virtual Boy

I reached 1,500 games after buying some from ScottK. After selling or trading away at least 150 games during last year, it's nice to be back up!

Yeah! 1000 posts! A milestone, too!

[shoes23]

Just broke 250 PS2 Games, and just over 550 games total. Unfortunatly not many have been completed but I got a week for spring break so we'll try to take two or three down over the course of the next 6 days.

[Cobra Commander]

I just reached the 700 mark. The game that put me over was Monster Rancher 3. What a day!

[digdug]

Just broke the 200 mark this week with the purchase of Brother In Arms: Road to 30 Hill on X-Box.

Now that brings me ever so close to the 2k mark in total games, hopefully will have that by the end of the month.

I won the last Fire Emblem game I needed for SNES. It wasn't the box set, but at this point I didn't care.

[l_lamb]

Viewtiful Joe 2 for Gamecube was game number 5500 for me

[-hellvin-]

Just recently passed 300 genesis games. Moving along quite smoothly I might say!

[Jumpman Jr.]

I recently hit 600 games, which, within 6 months of collecting, is pretty good.
I also hit 300 NES games a while ago. Considering I've been collecting NES for 2 months, thats pretty good.

I know this sounds crazy, but by 2006, I want to have completed the NES library.


you heard me.

[tynstar]

Passed 1700 games total and 600 total Genesis games.
