I'm a history major so I love history, so as a videogame fan I have an obvious interest in videogame history... still though, I've learned a lot about classic games over the past five years or so, I chose to get into them. I have spent quite a bit of time looking up info on older systems online, looking at games in stores that sell older games, etc, as well as with newer systems too, for the ones that I have. Despite that, still sometimes I see things I don't know either.
That said, today...
$1 - Genesis 2/3/CDX stereo AV cable -- I have the Genesis 2 mono AV cable that came with the 32X, but this is pretty cool to have too... finally, easy stereo sound from my Genesis, without having to use the "audio composite cables from the Sega CD" workaround! :)
32X

Space Harrier - complete, $10 -- My second-most-wanted 32X game, after Shadow Squadron, complete, for a decent price? So, so awesome! Space Harrier 32X is a fantastic game, and this was the first good port of the game. I know that the Saturn and PS2 Sega Ages versions are better, but still, I really wanted this, and it's just fantastic to find it. This is probably my most played 32X game in emulation.
PS2

Dark Cloud 2 - game and case (no manual), $5 - The first one was good, and the price was right, so why not?
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - complete, $5 - I've heard about the stupid plot twist at the end, and that it's probably not as good as the second one for the PSX, which is a great game, but for this price, way below what it costs elsewhere, for what probably is a decent game... of course!
Ar Tonelico: Memory of Elemia - complete, $15 - Yes, THAT game (anyone who knows about it would know what I mean... anyone who doesn't, look it up I guess...). This costs like nearly twice that online or at Gamestop... I'll try it, anyway.
The store also had Ys (VI): The Ark of Napishtim, Mana-Khemia 1, and Growlanser: Legacy of War, all for the PS2, and all $15 each, but while I was really considering getting Ys or Mana-Khemia, then I asked about 32X games and saw Space Harrier, and know that that's the one I was getting instead. I do want to play the PS2 Ys game though, that's a decent series...
