I am working on reorganizing my basement and making it into a livable family room and was able to reorder and dust off all of my game systems. My wife and I have been spending 30-60 minutes a night relaxing down there playing games together, or watching each other play. I'm trying to put a bit of time towards gaming, as much as I do my other hobbies. I'd like to continue working through the Legend of Zelda series-- I am currently working on A Link to the Past. I'd also like to add a Switch and a WiiU to my collection this year, so I can continue to collect Mario and Zelda games. I'd also like to start playing through some classic PS1 games like Rayman, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank.
In general I'd like to spend more time playing my games than I spend collecting them.

Thank You!!
Next would be a few different games first and then Half-Life 2 on the Xbox.
I've played the original just so that I can play the sequel. I am going completely blind and have never played Half-Life 2, so needless to say, I am very excited.

It's where my games have always been-- even as a kid at my parents house.

1. Beat every game I received as gifts in 2018. As of right now, that list is as follows: 1. Starlink: Battle for Atlas (Switch) 2. Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch) 3. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch) 4. Pokémon Let's Go Eevee (Switch) - In progress, almost done! 5. The Longest 5 Minutes (Switch) 6. Kirby Star Allies (Switch) 7. Musynx (Switch) 8.

I've been getting stuck into this one - I'm about a 20% through Sega Mega Drive Classics, and I've taken out Kirby too, in multiplayer with my fiancee. I'm on gym 7 of Pokémon too, so almost taken out another.
2. Beat every game I received as gifts in 2017 and haven't yet beaten.
As of now, this list is as follows: 1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch) 2. The Last Guardian (PS4) 3. Gravity Rush 2 (PS4)
No progress on this one yet, need to pick up the pace!
3. Replay some games I've purchased in physical format after originally playing digitally, if I haven't played them since buying them.
Not done any of these yet....
Buying games:
1. Focus gaming purchases on my big name wants list, rather than buying stuff just because it's cheap
I've not really made any big purchases this month, but I still plan to focus on this.
2. Buy less games than I beat in 2019.
I've beaten 13 and bought 4, so all good so far.
Mods & upgrades:
1. Get my PC Engine Duo R modded for RGB output
Nope
2. Learn some electronics & soldering so I can start attempting my own mods.
I bought a book on electronics, but I've yet to find time to actually start on this...
My main gaming goal is to play more games for the first time and less replays, to that end I am doing well since I have not done a single replay yet.
