I resolve to collect money from all who owe it to me.

Oh. Sorry. I resolve to add a few more homebres to my collection. If I can get a hold of some Driving Controllers, I resolve to add Thrust DC to my collection.

I resolve to get good condition working Jaguar and TG-16 CD players at a reasonable price, and complete libraries for those systems accordingly.

My goal is simply to focus on primarily collecting for my Atari 2600 and Lynx.

I'm really enjoying the 2600 homebrew scene and plan to buy a few more of those as well.

I resolve to learn to go without food so that I'll have more money to spend on video games.

Complete my PAL Dreamcast collection, 100 down 117 to go... Also want to play more games, I've been collecting hard recently and haven't been playing them due to lack of time.

I'd like to play more games. In the last year, i've noticed that I buy games just because they look like fun, but never play them. Especially Mac games. I buy them, install them, but never get around to playing them. I've really got to stop doing that.

I'm possibly starting an Atari Lynx or INTV collection this year myself. Be nice to finish my Mega Man, or Tengen NES collections too.

As part of a general resolution I am getting organized! I admit that I have
too much crap and its time to organise my collections, throw out the
garbage and sell the stuff I just don't want. I've already started on this.
In decemeber I sold 99% of my INTV collection all thats left is a loose
Fathom I'll eventually trade for something. And I cleared out a bunch
of Atari computer stuff. In a few weeks I'll be clearing out the remainder
of the my 800XL stuff, the rare carts in my 7800 collection, my Jag, some
dusty Commodore hardware and I will finally thin out my 2600 doubles.

I've concluded that my collection is really more of an assortment. I've
got too much that I just bought because it was a deal and don't really
have any passion for. So I'm streamlining into the systems I really love
and get that stuff organized and presentable.

I resolve to be more quality than quanitity. This just means that I need to tighten my wallet a bit when it comes to collecting.
