nosweargamer Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Last year I wanted to clear out 100 titles from my library (didn't keep track of the number, but I did get rid of some) and better organize my collection (which isn't perfect, but I did). This year I hope to make 100 new game review videos and clear out most of my duplicate games, systems and accessories. EDIT: In order to have something more measurable, I've decided to try to get rid of at last 100 games, accessories and systems combined, as well as keep track of new stuff I get. In the end I want to have a net loss of 75. What are your 2019 retro gaming goals?

Atari 5200 Guy Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Well, I have a Super NES I would like to get completed (controllers and a game or two). As soon as I get that ST issue solved I'll want to track down some physical games for it. And since I packed away systems I don't use as often with their games I did make some shelf room, so I thought. I got GTA V for 360 for Christmas and I found all three Mass Effect games, also for 360, yesterday at Game Stop for very little. Tried to put them on the shelf with the other 360 games and, yea, didn't work as well as I thought. So, it all depends for me. ST games are costly but I wouldn't mind a few official physical copies. Being able to play the SNES again would be wonderful. 360 games are getting cheap at Game Stop plus I'd like to add a PS3 to the arsenal...last machine I am after. I will most likely stick with 360 games this year. Justin and nosweargamer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Same as last year: Sell what I don't use. I made pretty good progress in this area in 2018. Sold off several systems, some extra TV's, a bunch of games. My sale plans for 2019 include a couple of modded 2600's, an Atari 800, a Rana disk drive, a bunch of handheld games (Entex Pac Man 2 for example). I want to also get rid of a lot of my Intellivision collection and a Mattel Aquarius. Anyone interested in these or maybe something else that I may have, please let me know. Buy less, play more.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 For 2018, I did accomplish a decent Wii collection. From December 2017 til December this year, I picked up over 30 games for the Wii. Only a few were horrible, the rest were good. Metroid Other M, Twilight Princess, 2 My Sims titles, and Animal Crossing top the list. As mentioned, 2019 will most likely be concentrating on budget 360 games unless a PS3 is acquired...then it might shift to both 360 and PS3 titles. Those games seem to be a dime a dozen these days. Wii games are starting to increase in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really sad that so many people online get kicks out of harassing people online while hiding like cowards behind their usernames. This is also why some people just disable comments on their videos. It's sad when it gets that bad, but understandable.

Willie! Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yep, I have all my comments held for review now when I post vids. That way they trolls dont get instant satisfaction of their posts showing up before I can delete them Its a little more labor intensive, but the troll comments have started to drop off since I started doing that.

Atarileaf Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 As for goals, I haven't really had any for a few years now. I'll be getting the Phoenix this year so I'm on a bit of a Colecovision run right now. I've been getting more into building and using older DOS based 386, 486, or Pentium 1 PC's. Currently waiting for an IDE to SD card adapter because I'm not having any luck with 30+ year old IDE drives working properly. Bad sectors seem to be multiplying Other than that it's probably homebrews, mostly for the Atari systems but I'd buy them for any system I own if they're good games and if they're arcade ports, especially ones never released or woefully underrepresented on classic consoles then I'm definitely on board. And probably a few PS4 games. There's a new Star Wars and I believe Crash Racing coming out this year so I'll be getting those and a few others. Can't seem to find Atari Classics Flashback 3 for the PS4 in physical copy here in Canada which is weird. No one has any of the 3 volumes actually. Also may spend some money building up my Steam and GOG library. Some great stuff there. Love those big sales they have nosweargamer and Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 My goal? Finally get a couple games for my Wonderswan Color, so it can stop gathering dust on my shelf. Also get a Sega Master System, or N64. Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 My main goal for 2019 is to repair and sell/gift several 2600s in the garage. I'm moving them from my house - which is being sold as part of my divorce - to my apartment and I just don't have the room. Other than that, I want to try and play through a game a month after everything settles. Atari 5200 Guy, Justin and RickR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a Vader unit, working or not, I'd be interested. I can fix whatever is broken or not working. How many 2600's do you have (not being nosy but curious and you don't have to answer if you don't want to)? I know, man, divorces suck. Been through one. Lost practically everything but it was a turning point where I managed to better myself if that makes sense. Some times good things can come out of bad situations.

Say, one that might be close to picture-perfect for posing in photography for a nice Atari website?

There are a few four switch Woody consoles, a Vader or two, a Jr. and maybe a light sixer. Probably eight in total. I would happily send one for the site.
