Surpassed a long time goal of mine.  I finally reached 600 NES games.  I cant believe I finally hit the milestone.

Heck yeah!

Here is my collection of Atari 5200 games. No Bounty Bob Strikes Back but everything else is there. Its been a long time coming. Required lots of patience and almost daily internet searches for copies to pop up.[img width=700 height=525]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190327/6288c60a8edb237e9643f0cc6a423e03.jpg[/img]

That's so cool man! Never seen that big Robotron 2084 box. That's pretty sweet.

Congrats, Fokakis79! The 5200 is a bit of a forlorn system, because of all the hardware issues, and because I don't think it sold very well. I'm guessing it's a bit of a bear to collect for.

Thanks ya'll! Pretty proud of this achievement.

@Metalfro: A lot of them are cheap and easy to pick up for the most part. I would say there 10-15 games that were challenging. It was even more challenging as I was going for the games in boxes. The last 5 or 6 took me about two years to find and pick up.  The only hardware issue is the controllers really. I bought a WICO command control for the Atari 5200 which solved all of my problems. Its a pretty fun system to collect for. Only has about 70 games. Plus there are some great homebrews that I want to pick up eventually.

Hey now,

Just passed 30 SNES games
15 Game Boy games
and 10 PS1 games

I misread your first milestone as "Just GASSED 30 SNES game."

"The King of Hyrule," huh? More like "der Fuehrer of the Third Hylian Reich," amirite?

Just surpassed needing under 100 Sega CD games.

When I started collecting years ago I never really thought I would have a complete set for any system. Even after I found a inbox 32x at a local store for a great price I didn't think I would end up with all the games for the system. Not long after buying my 32x my sister, who was working at a daycare at the time, told me there was a handful of old Sega games sitting in a closet there and they didn't even have a system. She asked if I would want them and I said sure. I figured it would be the typical common junk games (and it mostly was) but in there was a lone, cart only 32x game - Spider-Man Web of Fire. That was the spark to get me going. I thought since I had the hardest game to get, the rest would be easy! This was roughly 10 years ago and this past weekend, I finally picked up the last game I needed to have a complete cart set: Dion Sanders Stupid Expensive Baseball. Yes, I could have put this together a lot fast but that's not how I collect. A LARGE majority of these games came from local shops. Of course this isn't 100% complete as there are a few games missing manuals, posters, boxes, etc. but I couldn't be happier
