Time for the Final Tally:
Here's the overall count of games owned. Note that this is games not discs or carts or whatever, so a compilation that is on a single disc but has 4 different games will count as 4.
| Status | 2011 | 2012 | Net Change |
|---|---|---|---|
 | 1254 | 1515 | 261 |
 | 48 | 62 | 14 |
 | 191 | 250 | 59 |
 | 6 | 92 | 86 |
| Total | 1499 | 1919 | 420 |
The numbers above are kinda skewed, I made some decisions on the Backloggery to null duplicate titles as well as going through an audit that added quite a few missing games so while the total growth is 420, I really didn't go out and buy that many games.
Late in the year, the Backloggery added the ability to further breakdown the
titles by adding the Unplayed (
) designation to your games. So that 1515 consists of 1278 and 237 .In total I beat/completed 59 games, 9 more than my goal for this year.
Here's the breakdown of the 59 titles by platform:
| Platform | Total |
|---|---|
| GCN | 2 |

As for my goals this year, I think I did okay.
- Beat or Complete 50 games. I beat 59, so yeah, mark this one done.
- For every 3 games I acquire, I must beat 1 game. I tried to make this one a bit more reasonable but well, I failed. I collect too much.
- Finish a Zelda game. Yes, I finally have played and beat a Zelda game. I played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and it was really good!
- Clean up PC titles. I'm gonna call this one done. I went through the backloggery recently and cleaned up all the PC games so I'll call it good.
- Beat all my SNES titles. Yeah, not even close. I beat 1, and picked up 2 so net, I'm in the hole.
Until next time...
