It looks a lot better than after my first month!  Keep it up.  I see you posted this about a month ago--have you added much?

Yes I have added Adventure Island II complete, Dig Dug II Complete, Kung Fu Complete (with hang tab), Star Force Complete, Super Spike V’ Ball complete, and Track and Field Complete. I am trying to have at least half of my total collection done this year. I am only collecting complete games I myself have fun playing which is about 150.

That's awesome, good stuff!  I love Dig Dug II.  I'm only into the stuff I love to sit down and play--it's unrewarding for me to collect stuff I don't play.

How are your Mega Mans coming?  It's hard to find those CIB reasonably.  I try and find them for less than $20 each, but it's been a tough search.

lol I am saving those for closer to the end I prolly will pick up Mega Man III complete soon though since that one runs for the cheapest I have noticed. But something like mega man 6 are to much for me to get at the moment lol

Today I decided to change how I am collecting. As you might now I picked out about 150 games I enjoyed playing and was going to get them complete. However now thinking about it I might just get  my top 50-100 games complete there is no use in a complete Solar Jetman *lol jk NGD* but seriously.  The main reason I am thinking of doing this is because I am thinking of collecting SNES, Gamecube (Nintendo Only Games Not Multiplatform) and yes Virtual Boy Games. I think this would speed along the process.

Oh and on another bad note I was suspended from eBay and I have no idea why it states because I am linked to someone who got suspended however this is my first eBay account ever and I don’t know anybody who got kicked off? So I sent them an angry letter hopefully this gets fixed.  >:(

haha, good stuff!

I wish we all had our ebay names up--there's a list going at another forum but it seems like it's been ignored by the moderators for at least a year now.  Mine is jazzfluteman.

I totally agree with your method too--I don't get games complete unless I really care for them.  Wish I had a NGII!
