Buy some 'new' gaming hardware
I've bought a PS5, but I really want to try and make this the year I finally buy a Neo Geo.
[Upgrade my set-up[
Here's my progress on all the things I want to do as part of this goal
- Get new shelves built to hold more systems Nope
- Organise my wiring to make it tidier and more manageable Nothing yet, but I've started looking at how to do this
- Get some of my consoles modded for better output. Ideally I'd like PC Engine upgraded to RGB, and my Dreacmast and PS1 upgraded to HDMI. I've had my PC Engine modded for RGB, but those HDMI mods are unavailable currently due to component shortage!
- Find a HDMI switchbox that works with my HDMI modded N64, as my current one doesn't play nice -This one is done
- Buy a good quality SCART switchbox -This one too
Do some more modding
Still no progress on this one!
Focus my game purchases
Some of my ideas are below. Lets see if I stuck to any of them
- 'Complete' a console set. By this I mean buying all the major games I want, not every game for the system. I've started making a little headway on Gamecube, but N64 is probably the easiest to achieve.
- Buy more games in the Klonoa series. I've purchased 2 of these - Klonoa 2 on PS2, and Moonlight Museum on Wonderswan.
- Focus on games for Sony hardware. Bought a few PS2 games and a handful of Vita stuff, but not really done this otherwise.
Stop neglecting some of my consoles
There are some systems I haven't bought a game for in the last 3 years. I would like to buy at least one title for these consoles in 2022. These systems are: Xbox (last purchase: December 2017), PS Vita (Dec 17), Dreamcast (Dec 17), Wonderswan (Nov 17), PS3 (Aug 17), Master System (Mar 17), 3DO (Apr 16) and PS2 (Apr 14!!).
I have purchased games for Vita, Dreamcast, Wonderswan, PS3 and PS2 now. Just Master System and Xbox to go!
Focus my game playing on one console and handheld at a time
Still doing this, and still on PS4 and Switch currently. GBA and DS are my handheld goals next, and SNES, PS2 and Gamecube are on the console list.
I'm still doing pretty well on these. I probably won't achieve everything here as it's probably a bit ambitious and too expensive to fully achieve, but I've stayed relatively focused overall.
