Collecting Goals for 2013

[Shadow Kisuragi]

...and, your goal's not much different than mine. I've put a lot of effort into documenting the Majesco rereleases and there's a huge thread on SegaAge about them. I've also got my own set of sealed Lynx games I need to finish off, since there's an Atari liquidation place a couple hours from my house that wholesales them.

[singlebanana]

1.  Pick up at least 12 of the 24 NES games left to complete my licensed set.
2.  Pick up CIB copies of the two Vectrex 3-D games
3.  Pick up at least 20 loose unowned Atari 2600 titles
4.  Pick up remaining Aracadia Supercharger releases CIB
5.  Pick up 10 loose Colecovision titles

Grails:
1. Pick up Vectrex 3-D Imager w/ 3-D Minestorm
2. Pick up Centaur and Medusa pinball machines

Gonna cross post the collecting related stuff from a similar post I made elsewhere:

Libraries:
-build up the collections of my most currently neglected systems. I have only a handful of games for Game Boy (currently only 5 GB, 2 GBC, and 4 GBA), Turbo Grafx (6), and Sega Master System (7) right now and want to build those up.
-To a lesser extent, I'd like to build up my Atari 2600 (13), Saturn (11) and Dreamcast (10) collections as well.
-Most of the popular Wii titles should start really dropping in price soon, so I'd like to jump on that and built up a better Wii library while the prices are good.
-Nab the top 20 or so most expensive games on the N64. Get that out of the way and on my way to a complete US set!

Hardware
-Get a new Sega CD and built a modest library for that. I briefly had one, but got rid of it for some reason.
-Hori Gamecube GBPlayer controller.
-Get a pong console. Maybe a Telstar or something.
-Get more second generation consoles and built up some modest libraries for them. Colecovision, Intelllivision, Odyssey2, Vectrex, whatever.
-Virtual Boy, perhaps?
-Master System Light Phaser. How else am I going to play Safari Hunt and Rescue Mission?
-More N64 controllers. I only have one!

Misc
-Continue doing what I've been doing with building up the Nintendo side of my library.
-Finish getting the first two or three years or so of Nintendo Power.
-Try and finish re-building my childhood Game Boy, N64, SNES, and NES libraries. I'm pretty close to this one.

EDIT: added a new goal to the list

[Silent Scythe]

Secret of Mana 2 Repro
Dragon Quest 3 SNES Repro ( If someone makes it)
Terranigma Repro
Wild Guns (maybe)
Complete Super Ghoul N Ghosts
Dokapon Kingdom
More Genesis
More 3DS
-And-
Sell or get rid of some of the stuff I've been holding on to forever.

1. Systems:

I'd like to pick up at least one of these older systems:
-Magnavox Odyssey (original)
-Emerson Arcadia
-Atari 5200
-Atari 7800

I'd like to have at least 2 of these:
-Sega 32X
-Sega Dreamcast
-Xbox
-Atari Jaguar (longest shot right now)

If the next XBOX or Playstation come out, I want to get in on the ground floor (I haven't owned a system during it's heyday since I got a Game Boy in 1989)  

2. Games:

I'd like to finish off my list of targeted Master System games:
-Fantasy Zone 2
-Power Strike 2 (optional)
-Donald Duck: The Lucky Dime Caper (optional)[/s]

I'd like to add 15 or so titles to my NES collection. I've begun doing some targeted shopping which has helped me keep the quality of my pickups. A more specific goal I have is to complete my NES Mega Man collection (I'm missing 4 and 6).

I think that most of my other collections could use a little bit of expanding, especially the 16 bit stuff.

I'm satisfied with most of my second gen collections except for my Odyssey 2. I would absolutely love to score the big 3 board/video games.

3. Other:

I would like to start selling systems/games that are not essential parts to my collection

I would really like to try to have all of the proper wiring/connectors to run my systems. Right now, I can usually find a way to play but there's too much mixing and matching.

I would absolutely love to pick up a high def TV. I still have an old school TV which is cool for retro stuff, but if I plan to delve in new systems, an HDTV is a must.

So far 12 games over my 500 NES games Total for the year.

[monkees19]

I'm hoping to reach 500 total. No particular rhyme or reason to how I do it, just want that to be my goal. I'm at 336 right now with two en route from eBay. Definitely feasible.

Up to 371 of that total and it's only February...Would like to make ALL of my loose carts become CIB too.

[GamerNick]

Passed both of my collection goals - Over 50 boxed NES Games or Boxes & Manuals for loose games achieved & well over 600 games total in NES/Famicom

[Lendorien]

Well, let's see. Last year I bought a house and I managed to complete just about one goal as a result. This year I'm more likely to make some goals.

1/10/2014 - Yeah, these goals went no-where. Medical bills suck.

• Increase my Playstation collection to over 100 games with a focus on rpgs and adventure games (Currently 82)

- 85 - FAILED

• Increase my NES collection to at least 85 games (Currently 72)

- FAILED

• Increase my Dreamcast collection to 35 games (Currently 27)

- FAILED

• Increase my Colecovision collection to include some of the best games of the console that I don't have

- FAILED

• Increase my 3DO collection with an emphasis on FMV games, specifically Night Trap.

- FAILED

• Get a Sega Saturn

  - FAILED

• Get an Atari Jaguar

- FAILED

• Start trying to find more boxed games for older system. Most of my collection is currently all loose

Goal for the year, reach 1000 total on my collection.   Currently at 883, 117 to go.  Excelsior!  933/1000  67 to go!

Update:  Broke this goal on 03/15/13, sadly 143 of those are Steam entries... Oh well

That be a good goal! But as we discussed you did buy the two systems that were last on ur list muwahaha so that's got to be a backwards milestone ;-D

[Fragems]

Planned goals for the year are mostly to expand my cartridge collection.

Hoping to get:

1. 100+ Atari 2600 -(So far picked up 3 console variations and 60 or so games)
2. 50-100+ NES  -(Sitting around 29 right now found a good source at a local flee market though so hitting 50 should be easy once i get some cash )
3. 20+ SNES
4. 50+ Genesis (Currently at 18)

More Specific Goals:

Would like to complete my .hack collection on the PS2. Might also consider picking up the G.U. series (Only have Part 1: Infection so far )

Also would like to complete my Final Fantasy collection for the PS. All i have left to acquire is Final Fantasy Anthology.

[GamerNick]

New goals since I passed my others:

Get down to between 50 and 10 nes games left to get by June or July maybe August.
By December be down to 1 or 2 NES titles left.
