Actually finish off some projects instead of starting them, getting halfway through and moving onto something else

Practice more, and send in more subs for the Atari 2600 & the 2600+, and try to get in the top 10 for ESI on the Atari 2600!

I want to get my skills back on Back to the Future pinball. On Pinball FX3 I could get close to 2 billion, but on Pinball FX (the latest incarnation) I am having a hard time getting even 100 million.

Same as every year: I get anxiety staring at my backlog vowing to tackle it while I buy more games to add to it and barely finish anything.

Trying to hit the 4,000 World Record Mark, heck I might even make 5,000 records.

Testing out a few more emulators and then posting scores here

Looking to do lots of "challenge" runs which really only belong on youtube --- dumb things haha.

Mentioned a few months back, but I want to seriously go through my old backlog of scores/times and submit all the stuff I simply never bothered to (I don't have these videos anymore, but I just want to duplicate my previous efforts) . Finding time has been impossible as usual. I've been really sick since around Christmas and still dealing with it which has only set me back even more.

Besides those smaller projects I do have a few notable scores I will probably submit in the next few months. ;)

i dont do the new years resolution thing, i just start something when it seems right, though this year, coincidentally the new year did pretty closely align with a few paths of mine.

for gaming, i'd really like to take the vectrex top spot back. i'll be between vectrex as a whole, space harrier on sms mame and arcade, microvision, and atari 5200 centipede.

My 2024 gaming goal is to try at get top 10 on the MAME ESI leaderboards :)

The primary goal is to buy less and play more games... the backlog is real. Especially important with more modern games that require online connection and dependent on server support. As far as goals specific to this site, probably eclipse 5000 ESI, create leaderboards for games not in the database, and submit to the Gran Turismo Sport tracks. I still haven't bought Gran Turismo 7 yet.

Continue my ongoing "impossible mission" to either beat or, in the case of a few MAME scores re-submit, as many of my old scores from the old TG era as I can.

I call it impossible because my chances of encountering one arcade game in particular (Wheels) is probably close to zero. Add to that the many times I'm playing something for the first time in years and wondering "how the hell did I do that" just adds to both the fun and the challenge.

At the moment (January 2024) the tally stands at:

Arcade: 13

Atari 2600 PAL: 18

Atari 2600 EMU: 52

MAME: 88

Pinball: 3

Total: 174 to go

Yep, this for me: sifting through ancient footage trying to post anything I still have to get those legacy entries on the scoreboard into TGSAP. Once I've finished the sifting I'll know what there is "outstanding" to play.

Most of the MAME stuff is actually in the https://www.twingalaxies.com/wiki_index.php?title=Historical:The-Old-Twin-Galaxies-INP-Archive and I'm (very slowly) getting video footage of the INPs onto the scoreboard/wiki: https://www.twingalaxies.com/wiki_index.php?title=Historical:The-Old-Twin-Galaxies-INP-Archive-Replay-Videos

I need to go back to playing any game on the console I've been most dedicated to: Atari 2600.

I'm thinking about starting with the ones that I felt I could go a little further, like H.E.R.O. and Halloween.

1. Sub 5 minute any% Super Mario 1

2. Sub 20 minute Warpless Super Mario 1

3. 1,150,000+ 1 Life Super Mario 1 High Score

4. 1,600,000+ 5 lives Super Mario 1 on All Stars High Score

5. 1,500,000+ 5 lives Super Mario 1 High Score

6. Single game - Sub 5 minute any% with Mario, 1,000,000+ points with Luigi (includes killing Bowser with both)

I may put this game down for a while if I get all of this.

Get my backlog of videos submitted. I've putting it off until later, yet recording more and more scores just adds to the backlog. Perfect representation of what procrastination looks like.

As for specific projects, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition for now, and maybe another Angry Birds game to finish. Or I can finish the projects I started.

Milestones, 7,000 and maybe 8,000 records.
