What will be your arcade-related New Years Resolutions?

2010 is drawing to a close. What game did you fail to acquire this year? What repair or restoration havent you finished? Or do you just plan to spend less/more money?

For me, I plan to finish my GORF, Punch Out!!, and Donkey Kong Jr Restorations, get Tempest and Popeye working, and add a Family Guy, Pirates of the Carribean, or South Park pinball to the Dreewcade.
 
i have several.

1] get all my keepers up and running. they don't have to be a finished product, but they need to be playable.

2] get rid of anything i'm not going to keep.

3] get started on my dedicated space so i can have somewhere to put all these cabs once i can play them.
 
just to help my friend repair games he bought over 2 years ago. Also to finish the dk3 and 60-1 for a friend.
 
finish a multiwilliams build for a friend
get my sinistar, robotron, make trax and bubbles projects up and running
fix 10 games
build my pspacman repro cab
+++++++++++++++++
 
I'd like to see my Monaco GP and Omega Race live again. I also should install probably 4-6 more outlets.
 
Finish the trim and electric in the gameroom. I've been 95% done since October.

The unpainted corners and extension cords wrapped about the perimeter of the room almost disappear with the lights off. I promised some games days when it was done, but once everything was in there and playable, all progress stopped. :D
 
1. Finish my Basement arcade/Mancave
2. Fix up/Restore all the games I have that need it. (already acquired 90% of parts)
3. Spend less on this hobby and pay down debt for 6 months.
3. Acquire 2-3 grails in the summer/fall
 
i have to say, get more arcade collectibles/memorabilia. and to continue the quest to eventually get a bigger house, so i can fit in more games.
 
I would like to sell at least 1 vid and 1 pin every month, restore a bunch of my "keeper" pins and make a bunch of restoration videos.
 
Remove the French doors to my game room and build a moving bookcase/secret entrance.

Clear space in the game room for a Mad Planets (I have a couple scenarios in mind to make room).

Acquire said Mad Planets.

Enter my gameroom via the aforementioned secret entrance and play a shitload of Mad Planets. :)

Pick up a Sea Wolf and put it outside of the game room, next to my pirate bar.
 
For me it's:

Getting my Peter Packrat to 100% restored
Gauntlet fully restored
Cliff Hanger finished (but running Daphne)
Getting a Discs of Tron (bigger budget this year)
Getting a Rolling Thunder
Restoring my Marble Madness

That's about it :D
 
My resolutions :

Only do 1 project at a time
Take a 6-month break from pins
Convert Tempest into Major Havoc (I have all the parts now)
Add black light reactive carpet to the smaller game room
Don't buy any games in 2011 (no more space)
