NES

Mega Man 3 - $20, cart only. I paid way too much for this versus ebay prices, but don't really regret it because it's a great game...
Genesis
--
Thunder Force III - $30, cart only. This one's only slightly over minimum ebay prices, and it's a great game that I have wanted for a long time now, so I'm kind of thrilled to finally have found it! Way back in the late '00s I found and got the SNES incarnation of this game, Thunder Spirits, and I got the second and fourth games for Genesis not long after getting the system, but for some reason this one eluded me. It's always gotten a lot of praise from Genesis fans, and I have played a bit of it before, but I don't remember ever seeing the cart until now. Well, I got it, and yeah, it's really good. The graphics aren't anywhere near Lightening Force's level, of course, but the gameplay is great. It is a bit better than the SNES version because it doesn't have the slowdown that version does, most importantly. The music in this version is better, too.
N64
--
South Park - $9, cart only. I got this because I do want to eventually have all of the non-sports N64 games. This one is the FPS one. I like Acclaim's other N64 FPSes, but have always heard that this one's not nearly as good. That is probably accurate, and I don't like the series its based on at all, but I have to try it one of these days.
3DS DD (eshop) - these I got last week, when most of them were on sale.
--
Picross e8 - $6. I finally finished every single puzzle in Picross e7, so on to the next one! Picross is such a great fun thing to play a few of here and there...
Jewel Quest 4 - $1.19 (on sale)
Jewel Quest 6 - $1.19 (on sale)
Luxor - $1.19 (on sale) I really like the PC Luxor games, and I was hoping it would work well on 3DS also. Well, it does! This is pretty good stuff. It's too bad more Luxor games don't have 3DS ports.
Wii U DD (eshop) - I got these last week as well.
--
Tachyon Project - $4, on sale. The Switch version of this game was also on sale for the same price, but I ended up deciding to get this one because apparently both versions are the same (the Switch port doesn't seem to fix anything) and I'd rather have it for Wii U if I have the choice -- more storage space, smaller library, etc.
99Moves - $1.24, on sale. This is a very simple little game, but it's good. I like this better than the one below. This is the last of the three '99' games.
99Seconds - $1.24, on sale. The second of three games in the '99' series of sorts, this basic thing's alright but gets old fast and has little progression.
At about the same time I put the $20 in the 3DS/Wii U eshop that I bought all that stuff with (pretty much using it up), I also put $20 in the Switch eshop... which is still almost all still there, because the only thing I've found interesting enough to buy is this cheap thing.

Space Ribbon - $1, on sale. It's another simple, low-budget futuristic racing game. This one has a heavy focus on drafting (speeding up by being behind other cars).
