Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars - $4.50, cart only - I think this is the second SMS Alex Kidd game, and it's the first one I have for the system (I do have the Genesis game). Hopefully it's good, we'll see.

Psychic World - $4.50, game with plastic case. I'd been hoping to find a copy of this game, it's pretty cool that I have. This is a solid sidescrolling action-platformer starring a female psychic warrior. There's also an SMS version (with different graphics, I kind of want it as well); though the original Japanese computer versions are apparently larger (in terms of world size) than the ports, I definitely wanted this.
Desert Strike - cart only, $1
Urban Strike - cart only, $1

Mega Man 64 - cart only, $11 - Not so sure that this was worth it, but I caved anyway. Hopefully it isn't quite as bad as I'm expecting, given the price (and it is reasonable, this game isn't cheap).
Yeah, I understand what you mean. I don't have everything from my older computers still, sadly some things have been forever lost (yes, I still wish for those things back... :(), but I do have a lot of older stuff of mine from past computers still with me on my current one. Each computer does feel different, I don't agree that they all feel like the same machine, but they also have some similarities thanks to the continuity of stuff and files.
I don't do as much constant smaller upgrades, though; instead we just (and I have) got a machine and stuck with it until replacing it with a newer one, which certainly accounts for some of the difference here.
Also, I wouldn't mind having an Apple II either. :) That's the only Apple product I have positive memories for, it would be neat to have one sometime.

Quote:Ya know it's weird. After all these years it still "feels" like I have my PC, even though in essence I've basically gone through 8 different systems or so at this point. Part of it is how all my data just keeps coming along for the ride, and it's always so subtle as the years go on and I upgrade one part and another. So, with that in mind, it shouldn't surprise me so much that I'm having to emulate the very system I'm playing, but it still does. Maybe at some point I'll pick up an Apple II or an Amiga.
