With the new decade already a couple weeks in, I thought it would be nice to see what everyone’s collecting goals are for 2020.

I only have a couple for myself.

1. Reach 500 physical games (362 out of 500)
2. Complete my PlayStation longbox set (46 out of 102)

- Reach 650 NES Games

631. Genghis Khan
632. Nobunaga's Ambition
633. Godzilla 2
634. The Lone Ranger
635. Donkey Kong Jr. Math
636. Jimmy Conners Tennis
637. Robodemons
638. Toxic Crusaders
639. Times of Lore
640. Die Hard

Honorable Mention:

Zelda II (Gray Cart) - I already have the Gold cart.

- Reach 100 SMS games

92. Great Ice Hockey
93. E-Swat
94. Captain Silver

- Finish CIB Virtual Boy Collection
- 200+ Dreamcast titles
- 600+ SNES titles
- 1200+ PS2 titles
- at least 1 new AES game
- at least 1 new Saturn game
- at least 1 new TGCD game
- all Batman video games
- all Spider-Man video games
- all Star Wars video games

I want to try and keep my collecting goals a bit more simplified in 2020.

First, work on finishing the licensed NES set (minus Stadium Events). I still have some heavy titles to acquire, but I have gotten a few decent ones out of the way. I am at 648 licensed carts right now, and would be happy with 650 by the years end.

Second, Complete 100 NES games. I am close to this goal right now. I just need to either acquire some manuals to CIB some boxed games, or condition upgrade a few cheap titles to CIB.


These are the rest of my goals:

SNES: 200 games (Currently 188)
Nintendo Switch: 200 games (Currently 175)
PS4: 200 games (Currently 167)
SMS: 100 games total (including PAL/Canadian) (Currently 93)

I didn't meet my goal last year, so I'll reuse it this year - I'd like to get to 3500+ games in the collection, and hopefully get to 400+ Game Boy carts, so that I'd be in the final stretch, of roughly the last 100-ish licensed GB games I need to get. There are some stupid expensive games in there, but hopefully, I can manage it.

My goal is to sell off as many doubles as possible to buy more of the fpga consoles, and wireless controllers for the older consoles

1. Obtain at least 7 more Colecovision titles for a total of 110
2. Obtain authentic copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre for 2600
3. Obtain last two DC shmups: Giga Wing 2 and Mars Matrix
4. Finish Starpath Supercharger CIB subset (Party Mix - IB, Survival Island - C)
5. Obtain final 2600 Tele-games pic label variant (Gunslinger)
6. Obtain last two games for Vectrex set: 3D Crazy Coaster & 3D MineStorm (with disc) 

My goals always run between my birthdays rather than calendar years, as that makes more sense to me. Then I can say "When I was X I accomplished Y"

• Finish playing through at least one game for each major console type I own. I've got a little over a month left, and unfortunately added a bunch of new hardware platforms during that time. Might not happen. It did point out that some of my consoles are now broken, though, which I guess is a good thing.
• Move my game collection across the country again and not lose anything this time. First time I lost my Saturn games, last time I lost half of my IndieBox games. Don't ask me how that happens.
• Sell off physical games for consoles that I have a flash cart for and don't have an emotional attachment to. This includes SNES, Genesis, GB/CGB, N64.
• Obtain at least 5 more handheld variants for the collection. This is getting more expensive, since I'm now at a point where I've even got a fair number of low number variants and the remaining ones appear for sale at a reasonable price less often.

do you have a list of missing long box games? Also to help my goal I could get you to your physical goal :)

That sounds great! I would definitely be interested to see what you have. I don’t have a list of the long box games that I need, but I do have a list on my collection page that I update regularly. So if it’s not on there I don’t have it.

1. Don’t overspend
2. Get Earthbound complete

Those 2 goals are super in conflict with each other

I thought the same thing the second I hit Post. Let me just add *Goal 1 does not apply to goal 2.

Lol, love it

This is the year I will eliminate an entire shelving unit by selling off large chunks of the collection. I've been talking about it since I moved into this house four years ago, and now I'm just a few more ebay auctions and a long rearranging session from achieving this goal.

If you just sell the cases Vita games take up practically no room at all!

What's for sale?

I listed four Vita games this morning so the Vita collection that remains is locked in based on shelving capacity.

Next I have to lose nine NES games and I'm done. I'm not sure which games they will be and I'm being pretty lazy about testing them, but being in the home stretch I'm hoping to get them up this weekend or next.

Already got all of the Sony games on one shelving unit and it looks awesome. I even have 'room' for one more SNES game in case I ever stumble upon a Crono Trigger.

I also have a little bit of room for Switch and PS4, though there are definitely games there that I can purge still.

I have two games left that I want to ADD to the collection this year that I can think of right now: Deadly Premonition 2 and Persona 5 Scramble.

I have collection of various Xbox games like Battlefiled series, Halo series and Counter Strike.
