Collecting Milestones Thread 2005

[ssj4-tommy]

It is almost the end of my 1st year of collecting...

I think it will be tough to overcome this, "milestone" 1st year!!!

A link to some of my collection is below...thanks to the guys at DP!

Well, I am rapidly nearing the 1000 game mark. Currently at 928, and will probably pass the 1000 mark by the end of April. While that is a nice milestone all in itself, I have my sights set on several other goals this year. My NES collection is currently at 466 games. This includes many of the rarer titles which would normally take me a long time to get. With approximately 300 games left to go, it should be fairly easy for me to finish off the collection by the end of the year. With the end in sight for my NES collection, I've also begun to collect for several other systems I hadn't previously been serious about. I hope to get a complete Virtual Boy, 32x, and Master System collection. I'm also aiming at a 7800 collection, but I don't care so much about that system being complete.

Just completed one "goal", a doki doki panic cart.

My other goals are to get a Daytona USA 2player arcade setup, Hokuto no Ken Punch-mania 2 arcade machine.

Console-wise, don't really know. Just keep hording boxed japanese games for all systems I suppose.

i hope to reach 150 by the end of the year

i have

22 NES
48 Atari

[long_shawn_silver]

Finished my ATARI 2600\7800 collection of the games I want and I am down to 1 game left to get for SNES and 1 game left for NES and 3 games left for GB and I'm done!!

[long_shawn_silver]

Just completed one "goal", a doki doki panic cart.

I got one a few months ago also. Took me over a year to get it. It was the hardest game for me to get out of my whole collection and I got some REALLY rare games and they didn't even touch how hard it was to get a Doki Doki Panic cart. Wish the guide would reflect it's rarity instead of being a zero It should be more like an 8 or a 9.

[dreamcaster]

Just hit 350 games total.

[S_W_Prof]

i finally bought a n64 the othe day
ben waiting to get one fou about a mounth now
ao i guess thats a milestone

[Arcturius]

Finally got Rez (PAL) so I have now completed my UK PAL Dreamcast collection (216 games) just need 'Qui Veut Gagner Des Millions?' (PAL French) not to get the complete 217 Euro collection.

[Gapporin]

Just snagged my 20th unique console the other day. The lucky console in question was an Intellivision.

My milestone has been gaining focus for my collecting.
I am a NES only collector, with the same goal as many other collectors- the elusive "one of each" collection.

I switched gears into buying rarities instead of buying "bulk" games to fill common holes. The way this classic NES game market is moving, I believe that in years to come, these games will be worth much more than they are today- thus, I am better served getting the "expensive" ones today while they are still pretty cheap rather than waiting for tommorow when a Maxi-15 or a Peek-A-Boo poker sells for 4-Digit prices.

[MattG/Snyper2099]

My goal for this year is to finally finish my unliscensed NES collection. Been on that one since 96. Then pick up some more boxes/instructions I need. I have over 80 of the games complete so I think that leaves 48 to go, not counting those pirate things that may have been sold in the US.

This year I got all the NTSC 2600 Tigervision games (only took 7 years). Also over 500 unique titles now for that system. Also completed the 7800 library of games.

[Tony Montana]

I hit the 1000 game mark last weekend

As far as the rest of the year, I would like to ocmplete my 32x and Virtual Boy collections, still quite away to those. And concentrate more on the expensive rarer games for SNES, PSX, and Genny.

[anagrama]

I got my 280th European Master System game today...and since there are only 280 European Master System games, then I guess it's time to crack open the champagne...

\^_^/


Stay tuned for some gratuitous pics once I get them all sorted out...

[Policenaut]

That is totally awesome Anagrama! Congrats on such a great milestone. I just need Buster Douglas Kayo Boxing to complete the US Sega Master games. And as I already started to hunt Euro SMS games, I can say you are my hero

Bought 4 games today, which put me precisely at 500 games. That's all my console and Amiga games together, plus I've got another 60 or so PC games which I'm not counting ^^

[PrototypeFC3S]

I have decided to devote my life to my Dreamcast collection, I'm at 57 or 58 games now. I hope to end the new year with at least 100 - 150. Its gonna be hard.

All I need right now is The King of Fighters: Dream Match 99. But I can't seem to get my mits on it.
