So I got a new Genesis, one of those later model Model 2s, and the sound is a massive step up. The bass is great, so I don't see an issue with that myself. The hunt for it took some time, going to 4 different Vintage Stocks and talking clerks at each one into opening up all their Genesis systems so I could take a look (carrying around images of what I was looking for helped).
I also picked up Ristar, an amazingly fun game I'd put up there with Rocket Knight.
Aside from that, I've got Clash at Demon Head for NES, Karnov for NES, and for some reason, Robocop vs Terminator for SNES. That last one not even I'm sure why I picked it up, but it was $2 so I decided "why not?". It plays like Contra in a lot of ways, but Robocop moves clunkier. The game so far is actually pretty fun, to my surprise. The story is interesting too, also to my surprise. It's not as good as Contra, but it isn't bad by any means, at least not yet. The biggest flaw is simply how easy it is so far. Fighting the 2009 two stages in is probably the hardest it's been so far.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
