Finally, after 6 years of trying, finish my 32x collection. The last game I need is Spiderman: Web of Fire which regularly goes for $150 +. I realized I was sitting on $200+ worth of doubles and triples and realized I could sell those off to get it. After that, I'm either going to finish off my Master System or Odyssey 2 collections.

Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Tynstar on June 12, 2012, 09:32:40 AM complete 32x library. its a pretty easy goal, the toughest game to find is Web of Fire but that's it. i don't have a ton of money or a lot of room, but i want at least one complete library in my collection Toughest no most expensive yes. Finding a complete world Series Baseball is a pain. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on June 12, 2012, 09:33:33 AM Finding a complete Pitfall w/ Poster = more of a pain
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 12, 2012, 09:55:12 AM Finding a complete Pitfall w/ Poster = more of a pain ;) Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 12, 2012, 10:08:20 AM OK, time to actually write my goals down and keep track of them.
Hardware Goals Sega CDX-CIB Pioneer LaserActive-loose Miracle for NES-CIB Konami LaserScope Atari Jaguar-Boxed would be nice, but not necessary Software Goals Complete US 32X Library-3 games and 1 manual left Slam City Spiderman Web of Fire World Series Baseball WWF Raw (manual) 300 CIB NES games by the end of 2012 Complete Konami NES "Silver Box" set - 3 games left Gradius Laser Invasion Track and Field Complete NES "Black Box" set - lots of games left (I know this will take years, and lots of money) I'm giving myself a goal of 3 CIB Black Box games per year. Mainly because I have most of the common ones and to spread out the financial burden. CIB Nes Black Box Games Balloon Fight Baseball Clu Clu Land Donkey Kong Donkey Kong 3 Donkey Kong Jr Donkey Kong Jr Math Ice Climber Mario Bros Slalom Stack Up Urban Champion Volleyball Wild Gunman Wrecking Crew Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Hungrymoose on June 12, 2012, 10:19:29 AM I didn't know what you meant by Konami NES "Silver Box" so I Googled it and found this cool article:
http://thisischris.com/feature/2003/boxart.html :D Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 12, 2012, 10:24:52 AM I didn't know what you meant by Konami NES "Silver Box" so I Googled it and found this cool article: http://thisischris.com/feature/2003/boxart.html :D Yeah, I've read that article before, it's a good one! I organize my CIB NES games by publisher for that very reason. They look WAY better that way. My collection starts with NES Black box games, then the rest of the Nintendo published games, then Konami Silver boxes, Tecmo Games with the red stripe along the bottom, Capcom games, which vary a bit but are pretty similar, and my Tengen games are all together after the licensed games. I really have to take some pictures. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: RobotCowhand on June 12, 2012, 01:18:18 PM I'm pretty new to all this, but this is where I'd like to be by the end of this year :
Fully modded, model one Genesis (S-Video, Composite, Overclock, Region Select) 4 x 6 Button Controllers Multitap 400 CIB Genesis Games (including every 4 player title). Move into a place with a room dedicated to hobbies/gaming! I'm not going to spread my bets too much for this year and try to focus a little :) Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 12, 2012, 02:12:58 PM I like these goals a lot. It's good to focus!
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Crabmaster2000 on June 12, 2012, 02:35:12 PM I'm not going to spread my bets too much for this year and try to focus a little :) Thats a great idea. I always get to side-tracked and my main goals end up pushed off each year. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: RetroRage on June 12, 2012, 06:35:49 PM complete 32x library. its a pretty easy goal, the toughest game to find is Web of Fire but that's it. i don't have a ton of money or a lot of room, but i want at least one complete library in my collection Toughest no most expensive yes. Finding a complete world Series Baseball is a pain. i'm fine with just having the cart. I'm not gonna spend $350 on a single game......yet Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 13, 2012, 10:12:37 AM complete 32x library. its a pretty easy goal, the toughest game to find is Web of Fire but that's it. i don't have a ton of money or a lot of room, but i want at least one complete library in my collection Toughest no most expensive yes. Finding a complete world Series Baseball is a pain. i'm fine with just having the cart. I'm not gonna spend $350 on a single game......yet Duke and Crabby have talked about it on the collectorcast, if you are a patient and smart collector, you will almost NEVER pay retail/ebay prices for most items. There is a reason why every single collector has a story (or 2 or 17) about that unbelievable find that cost them next to nothing. I was very lucky to grab a complete Pitfall for 32X with the poster for $40. I talked to another collector who just couldn't wait and bought one for $150 from a guy on NA. If he was patient and persistent, he probably could have found a better deal. This is a great hobby and if there is any advice I would give to anyone in the beginning phase of their collecting, it would be to slow down a little and ENJOY it! It's not a race to get to 5000 games, it's a stroll in a museum where you get to interact with the art. Who would want to rush through that? Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: inRainbows on June 18, 2012, 08:13:19 PM complete 32x library. its a pretty easy goal, the toughest game to find is Web of Fire but that's it. i don't have a ton of money or a lot of room, but i want at least one complete library in my collection Toughest no most expensive yes.

Also, World Series Baseball is rarer than Web of Fire...
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wildbil52 on June 20, 2012, 10:10:08 AM There is a guy (on Sega-16 I think) selling a WSB 32X cart for $40. Not too bad.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: portnoyd on June 22, 2012, 07:53:06 PM Somehow get my collection into the RF Gen database without my eyeballs popping out of their sockets.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on June 22, 2012, 08:46:54 PM Somehow get my collection into the RF Gen database without my eyeballs popping out of their sockets. Good luck with that, portnoyd. I know your dislike for nitpicking variants, and I'll be the first to let you know that we're working on something to help fix that, though it's a bit of a ways off. Just don't look at the Atari 2600 or Sega Master System databases and I think you'll survive. Welcome to RFGeneration, though. Nice to see a familiar face. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Crabmaster2000 on July 03, 2012, 11:14:47 AM Half Year Update:
Could have sworn I had a spot reserved here already, oh well. Big 2012 Goal Lesser 2012 Goals Obatin at least one of the following systems with a few games: Master System, Jaguar, Vectrex, 2 CIB Virtual Boy Games 3DO Controller AES Controller Goals in Gameroom Build new controls for Arcade Cab Build Controller Storage New Shelving in Game Room Hang stuff on walls I hit one of my BIG goals for the year early on, and boy was it the one I was hoping it would be. Snapped up my SE cart from an Ebay auction for what I consider to be a great price. With about 6 months of the year left and some awesome rfgenners helping me pick up more NES carts I might even hit both of my big goals this year. In any case I'm already happy with how the year turned out. We picked up a 3DS system this year which was nice, but it wasnt one of my target systems. Duke.Togo however may be hooking me up with a nice little CD-i bundle come this fall. That'll be a nice one to cross off the list. I was really hoping to spend my arcade budget on getting a more interesting game into my NAOMI cab, but much to my surprise a sexy little TMNT 4-Player Jamma cab popped up locally! I'll take that in its place for sure! I'm going to be focusing on my 600 NES game goal and the CD-i for the remainder of the year, so unfortunately I'm not sure I'll get to my other 3 collecting goals. My Gameroom goals on the other hand have been an absoulute failure :( Its so hard to pry money out of my relatively small gaming budget to put towards other areas, but its becoming a necessity. Cant put off new shelves forever. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: blcklblskt on July 03, 2012, 12:42:46 PM Goals for 2012: -Get remaining Nintendo 64 hardware --Grape console --Gold controller --Millennium 2000 controller -Get a CIB copy of Star Fox 64 -Get a copy of Super Metroid (SNES, cart only OK) -Keep under 800 games -Sell off remaining duplicates and unwanted items Half year update: I still need to get the N64 hardware, a CIB copy of Star Fox 64, and Super Metroid. Otherwise, I've been pretty successful. I've kept under 800 games (at ~516 right now), and I've been pretty successful at selling off my duplicates and unwanted items.

Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Pop Culture Portal on July 08, 2012, 02:01:03 PM To start over...after 2-3 years of life in hell, I will use my current, yet very outdated collection list here to begin anew! Time to go find Hannah Montana for the PS3...
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Fokakis79 on July 09, 2012, 10:35:30 PM I have taken a year off from collecting and I am now back in it.
I believe a year ago, I was trying to building on my Sega Collection. I did stall out, and was not able to get anything due to funds. My Goal for this year is: Get half of all U.S. released Sega Genesis Games ( I have about 55 games so far), I gotta long way to go. Secondary Goal Collect All U.S. Released Castlevania Games. I have almost completed my goal of owning all Sega Consoles ( I am not sure about counting Third Party Sega Consoles, i.e.: JVC X'Eye) -Still missing: SG-1000, Sega Master System. Sega Nomad Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: nes_pimp on July 14, 2012, 12:23:26 PM Complette my licensed nes set
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: RetroRage on July 15, 2012, 11:00:12 PM FWIW, RetroRage, World Series Baseball is still going up on price, while Web of Fire is actually slowly going down in price. Also, World Series Baseball is rarer than Web of Fire... well then....that's discouraging. i was hoping Web of Fire was the only rare title. i found and bought a sealed copy of the Fred Couples golf game for $2 last week. that's gotta be worth something right? Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Cellplanman on July 22, 2012, 10:37:01 AM Ive been wanting a 64DD for quite some time now. I remember one being sold a few years back on rfgen. Kicking myself for not buying it.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: jansolee66 on August 19, 2012, 04:53:08 PM I suppose my goals are a little less ambitious than most, but my finances pretty much have to dictate my expectations.
My first goal is to get my collection organized. I need at least one more shelf to start making my collection look presentable. I also want to get all of the proper connectors for my systems. I seem to have misplaced some switches, so I need to get some RF-Coax connectors, among other things. I own some systems that I haven't even tested yet (i.e., my Fairchild Channel F) - More or less done. I'd like to improve my game displaying My second goal is to complete my Master System collection -- a list I created a long time ago of games I'd like to try. Most of what I have left are titles from series (though there are a few stand-alone games too): Castle and World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse, Alex Kidd in Hi Tech World, Wonderboy, Fantasy Zone II, Zillion II, Golvellus, R-Type. - Haven't touched this My third is goal is simply to be able to commit to buying at least one new piece for my collection every week. I don't want to fall in collecting lulls. I always want to show some progress, even if it's adding a $2 NES game, so be it - done My fourth goal is to obtain all 3 of the RPG/Board games for the Odyssey 2. I've been thinking of trying pen and paper RPGs a bit and this might ease the transition. I think they also look great as collectibles. - Almost picked up two of these, but condition factored in My fifth goal is to add to my 16-bit system game collections, in general. While I don't have crazy collections like many on this board (I'm envious of so many of you), my 8-bit system collections are much stronger than my 16-bit collections. I currently have ~50 NES games and ~30 SMS games. Contrast that with maybe a dozen SNES games, 5 Genesis games and 10 TG-16 . I'd like to improve on all 5 of those numbers, but the latter 3, especially. - I did add a few but I have a long way to go My 6th goal is to add more systems to my collection. I started collecting systems and only later, really delved into games. It's actually been a long time since I've added a system to my collection. I would still like to add some systems to my collection though. These are a few I'm looking for: Magnavox Odyssey, Emerson Arcadia, RCA Studio 2 (maybe), Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Sega 32X, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox (original). - Haven't acquired any yet, but came very close My 7th goal is to start actually selling stuff that I have no intention of keeping. Right now, I'm sitting on several things that I just don't care for (i.e., pong clones, a spare 2600, a spare Colecovision with a card reader error (wouldn't mind fixing it)). So far, I've been too lazy to actually list things online. I can't keep doing that. - Nothing sold yet My 8th goal is to add more reputable titles to my collection. I have started going in that direction of late, but I need to commit to it even more. So far, I've been settling for adding a couple $10 games and a couple $5 games in favour of adding one reputable game for $30. I have to get myself out of that frame of mind a little more often. - this has been my focus of late. I refined my list of "must haves" for a few systems and I've been focusing on them My final (stated) goal, is to actually beat a couple of games. I'm different from most people in this hobby in that I'm rarely coming at it from a nostalgic point of view. I certainly played some video games as a kid, but I doubt I ever would have garnered the label of "gamer". I even went several years without touching a game. I started collecting because the history of the industry fascinated me. I started reading about games a lot and then started listening to vintage gaming podcasts and watching youtube videos. I eventually got to a point where I needed to see these things in person in order to satisfy my curiosity. That's when I started buying games - Haven't beaten much solo, but my buddy and I did beat Mega Man2 and almost beat Whomp 'Em Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Nightowljrm on August 20, 2012, 01:08:17 PM I'm hoping to reach 300 NES games by the end of the year. I have a little under 60 to go. Eek!
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Crabmaster2000 on August 20, 2012, 04:42:33 PM I'm hoping to reach 300 NES games by the end of the year. I have a little under 60 to go. Eek! You should have enough cheap ones left on your list that it wouldnt be too hard. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Nightowljrm on August 22, 2012, 12:46:13 PM I'm hoping to reach 300 NES games by the end of the year. I have a little under 60 to go. Eek! You should have enough cheap ones left on your list that it wouldnt be too hard. Oh, yeah. I have plenty of cheap ones to buy. But still, I might wanna pursue high-profile ones for a while. We'll see what happens! Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Quackula on August 27, 2012, 10:21:51 AM My main goal right now is to make some real headway on my NES collection. I'm only at 23 games right now. I'd like to try and hit 100 by the end of the year, but if that proves too unreasonable I'm hoping to at least get all of the black label/pixel art carts.
I wouldn't mind building up my N64 collection a bit more too. I don't have any specific number in mind, but if I can get my current total from 16 games to at least 30-50 I think by year's end I'll be in good shape. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: inRainbows on August 28, 2012, 01:28:25 PM My unofficial thoughts have turned into a real goal. I won't hit it by years end by any means, but I'm officially going for a complete CIB sega cd collection. Longgg way to go, but I've managed to cross off lots of the expensive titles already.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: engel762 on October 10, 2012, 09:31:40 PM Goals for the rest of the year... hmm. I'd like to add a ColecoVision to my collection. I also need to work on my SNES collection, my Atari 2600 collection managed to get larger than the SNES and I find that somewhat disturbing. A Famicom is also in my sights, I should hopefully be crossing off the Super Famicom from my list shortly when some packages arrive from Japan.
Other than that, I haven't got any exciting goals outside of dreaming that I'll come across a "5 dollar" holy grail at a pawn shop or thrift store. :laugh: Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Fleach on October 11, 2012, 11:37:27 AM Since there's only a few months left for 2012 my goals are to get started on my SNES and Genesis collections and find a power cable for my Genesis. I'm going to a swap meet this weekend so I think I'll complete at least one of those goals.
I think 5-10 titles for each console is a good way to kick start those collections. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: InvadErGII on October 17, 2012, 09:13:07 AM I'm hoping to get to 500 NES games by the end of the year. I'm currently at 485, with one more coming in the mail. It's getting a lot tougher to find stuff I don't have.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: monkees19 on December 03, 2012, 11:21:39 PM I wanted to get to 300 by year's end. I've already done that, months ago. If I can just round up to the next 10 mark (which would be 330) in the next 4 weeks I'd be happy. Christmas should help. :)
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Techie413 on December 04, 2012, 03:15:26 AM Since the database dump, I don't remember all the goals I noted. But I think the only one I'm still missing is to hit 100 Atari 2600 games, I have some coming, but may come up short by just a few. That's alright. I had some big CIB SNES and N64 purchases, added some rare handhelds, and started aiming for the Atari 7800 series. I must have been distracted. Almost all my Atari's have to purchased online anyway.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: wawa on December 05, 2012, 08:23:53 AM A Casio Loopy, or some rare Japanese obscure console nobody knows again. Then again, since I got a 2008 Honda Accord, my collection progress has slowed.
Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: TSGTheSportsGamer on December 05, 2012, 09:55:53 AM I didn't do too bad considering I spent more $$$ elsewhere and nearly sold my budding 3DS collection back in June (started collecting again for it in November after a hiatus).
-Get to 100 3DS Games (I'm at 90) -Get to 10 PS Vita Games (I'm at 9) -Decide what to ultimately do with my handful of "rare" games for other consoles I don't collect as much (I ended up selling a bunch, but not quite all, of my rarer modern releases, netted a nice $500 off of a handful of games) -Get to 600 games overall (at 598) Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on December 05, 2012, 10:02:06 AM I didn't do too bad considering I spent more $$$ elsewhere and nearly sold my budding 3DS collection back in June (started collecting again for it in November after a hiatus). -Get to 100 3DS Games (I'm at 83) -Get to 10 PS Vita Games (I'm at 9, so I can get this one done) -Decide what to ultimately do with my handful of "rare" games for other consoles I don't collect as much (I ended up selling a bunch, but not quite all, of my rarer modern releases, netted a nice $500 off of a handful of games) -Get to 600 games overall (at 590, still maybe doable but I'll probably fall just short) TSG, how many sports titles do you have? I know you were at a decent amount previously. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: InvadErGII on December 05, 2012, 11:23:52 AM I'm hoping to get to 500 NES games by the end of the year. I'm currently at 485, with one more coming in the mail. It's getting a lot tougher to find stuff I don't have. Up to 526! Take that, goals of my past self. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: TSGTheSportsGamer on December 05, 2012, 03:50:18 PM I didn't do too bad considering I spent more $$$ elsewhere and nearly sold my budding 3DS collection back in June (started collecting again for it in November after a hiatus). -Get to 100 3DS Games (I'm at 83) -Get to 10 PS Vita Games (I'm at 9, so I can get this one done) -Decide what to ultimately do with my handful of "rare" games for other consoles I don't collect as much (I ended up selling a bunch, but not quite all, of my rarer modern releases, netted a nice $500 off of a handful of games) -Get to 600 games overall (at 590, still maybe doable but I'll probably fall just short) TSG, how many sports titles do you have? I know you were at a decent amount previously. You know, I haven't that, but just going through my list I can guesstimate that about 60% of my games are either sports or racing - but that's using a really liberal definition. So maybe around 350. I should take the time to count... Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Fokakis79 on December 30, 2012, 12:41:55 AM So as of now I have not achieved my goal of half of all genesis carts. i didn't really get anywhere as a matter of fact. Although I did pick upa few 32x games, and I kinda of took a detour at finding SNES games that are on my want list. Oh well.
I managed to pick up Castlevania games, I did begin with only One (Simon's Quest). So I consider this a moderate success. I was able to pickup Castlevania(NES), Castlevania III, And Super Castlevania, Castlevania 64, and Castlevania Bloodlines. I still have the hard as hell to get for under 100 dollars Castlevania Dracula X( I might just bite the bullet, and pay for it at ebay prices, because I want it so bad.) Other than that, Castlevania chronicles will be the next hardest. btw I am only picking up Castlevania Games I have the systems toplay them on. So the DS games will probably be my last games I pick up, since I haven't bought one yet. All the other Castlevania games seem easy to pick up, so I am sure I will be able to accomplish this in the next year. I will be counting the digital download games as well. I know the goal I have for next year is Mega Man series for NES, and SNES. All the Mega Man X games. I will be counting the digital download games as well. I got a ways to go, and got some of the most hard to find items in this series ahead of me. wish me luck! its great to see so many people achieving goals on here, and here is to all of us who trying to reach any goal we have into the next year.I don't think it really matters how long it takes. : ) as I see its only a failure if you give up your goal. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: SirPsycho on December 30, 2012, 08:11:30 PM Ok, I'm going to reply and show me where I succeeded and where I failed.
My Goals: Systems: Sega 32x and CD Model 2 (I got neither of these, but games for both!) Basic Game Goals: 75 PS2 Games (Sitting at 66) 15 PSP Games (13) 50 SNES Games (45) 50 Genesis Games (34, cheap deals dried up fast) 20 Dreamcast Games (17) Get this: http://www.entertainmente...dinfo.asp?number=ALT20290 (Sadly no) Imports: Japanese PS1 (Nope) 1 good Dreamcast Import (0) If I get a Top Loader import 5 Famicom games. (1) Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Johnny Nintendo on December 31, 2012, 07:08:44 AM Well, time to set some goals. I think I am gonna try and collect all the Konami silver box games CIB for the NES. I have Gradius on the way, so that will be one down. I am gonna also try and get another NES Mega Man CIB.

But the C and the I are not Gradius. Title: Re: Collecting Goals for 2012 Post by: Johnny Nintendo on December 31, 2012, 03:44:36 PM Whoops! I didn't pay attention to the title, I did mean for 2013. Yeah that would be a bummer to start collecting less than 24 hours before the new year.
EDIT: Oh, I like to set my goals high. That way I'm never disappointed. I managed to work out a trade with someone, and have all the other Konami Silver box games in the mail. I guess I have to go find out what size box my first born can fit in........
