Personal Collection Goals

[Michi]

You could just change your name instead of reregistering.

Why do that when you can confuse people instead?

My goal is to go mostly arcade when I eventually have the space somewhere. I want to get a couple sega candy cabs and use one for TATE with a swappable screen. I do still have interest in console gaming, but the experience is much more pure. My AES kicked in a new addiction.

OK, I have a concrete goal now... to own every retail [disc-based] shoot-em-up on the Japanese 360. Oh yeah. And to own a Japanese 360. I'll buy a Slim soon but am hoping for a sale on amazon.co.jp for the holidays. Though I have no clue what impact the season has on Japanese retailers.

Current status towards goal: 9 / approx 22.

If I get really in to it I'll probably think up a new nickname (and find an avatar) and maybe reregister here and at shmups.system11 and the Cave forums with it. Eh.

COOL!

If you have any questions about any 360 shmups or anything, let me know! I always love chatting about shmups.

My long term goal is to own every RPG and horror game for every home console, from NES era up to PS2 era. I might have to amend this at some point both because I insist on my cart games having the box and I hate spending a ton of money on games I don't like (so Earthbound is gonna be a tough one to justify). I'm kinda ok with the idea that my collection isn't ever going to officially be "finished" since I don't really have much time to game at home anyway.

I'm also kind of obsessed with getting every console version of every Might & Magic and Wizardry game. I'm close w/ M&M, even owning several of the Japanese-only releases, but the Turbo Duo game is going to be tough. Wizardry... I might have to give up on considering all of the Japanese games in that series.

This my long term goal when I build a garage. I have started it with a MVS cab (with a few games) and a Naomi setup so far, but I really need a vertical cab too. On the console end I plan to complete the Dreamcast shmup collection first then I will be going for the Saturn and Genesis. For the current generation my goal is to finally get a X Box 360 Slim for the new fighters and shmups.

About 25 minutes from Nashville.

North, south, west, east? Said farm I might be buying is in Columbia, which is about 30 minutes south.

Woah. There's more racket-folk in TN than I thought.

Well I am in Atlanta right now, but will be in TN soon. It just means I need to find a place to do a meetup up there. Since all my places in Atlanta have fallen through.

So you're not buying a farm to grow 50 acres of tobacco?

The place we are looking at ironically use to be a tobacco farm. Nono, I am buying a farm because my girl has horses. I have had a crazy idea of down the road building a geek "commune," for lack of a better word. Really it would be a small town on my land where people we know could come and live for a cut of utilities and helping with some of the work. The computer labs and fiber connection, well that would just be the kicker. But that is a pipe dream, not a collection goal.
