Yeah, finally! This is stuff I got off EBay... just got it. :)
TurboGrafx-16

R-Type -- The classic, and still one of the best shmups ever! TG16 games are not cheap, but this one was worth it for sure even though it cost me $15... it's so, so good. I played it, got through the first three levels using just three credits (I'd played those before of course, in the GBC version that I have)... and then proceeded to use all 17 credits I had left on level 4, which was the first new one (GBC R-Type DX's R-Type 1 part has only 6 of the original 8 levels; this version has all 8). Awesome stuff... so hard. I love R-Type anyway, though. Exceptional game, and series. :)

Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Cop
Daytona USA -- All three the pack-in versions, with manuals and cardboard sleeves but not the "3 in 1" cardboard box. I really, really wanted Daytona, so now I have it, and with those two too... I'm sure I'll play them some. Can't save VF2 yet though, it needs 180 blocks and I only have 35 left empty. Yeah, I really need a memory cart... Daytona and Virtua Cop's files fit, though, at least. They're small (~30 blocks and 10 blocks respectively).
I also got a controller, also from eBay.

Mission Stick (Mission Flight Stick) -- the Saturn's official flightstick-style joystick. I have Panzer Dragoon and MechWarrior 2, of course, both of which were designed for the Mission Stick, so I very much wanted one... and so I bid on one on eBay. I bid only $1 (or $0.10, exactly, with a maximum of $1), with 4 or 5 hours left in the auction, so I didn't exactly expect to win... but I did! And I'm pretty happy I did, because I really wanted one of these for some reason. It's fantastic for MechWarrior and Panzer Dragoon, and it works with the Arcade Racer games too (Daytona and Cyber Speedway). I'm going to test it with NiGHTS, but I haven't done that yet. I can say, though, that it works with Virtua Cop and Virtua Fighter 2, for whatever reason. :)
