First, I found a couple of games I bought in March 2019 that I forgot to list either here or in my collection spreadsheet. These two games were delisted, but I was able to buy digital keys for them from Gamestop's website. I think you can't do this anymore, but the ability to buy delisted games' keys from Gamestop was still something you could do when I got these, so I got these two.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - PlayStation Vita, PSV - DD - $40
PixelJunk SideScroller - PlayStation 3, PS3 - DD - $10
And today I got these.
Dinotopia - GBA, cart only, $3 - this may look like a licensed nothing at first glance, but it was made by the same team who made Lady Sia, a pretty good GBA platformer, and runs in that engine. After learning that I started looking for a copy and found one.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Collection (1 & 2) - Nintendo Switch, NS - $20, complete. Was it worth it to pay twice this much for a Vita copy of one of the two games in this pack? Yeah, sure, why not; the Vita has a fantastic screen and all things being equal I'd probably rather play these games there. But the Vita version of the second game costs just as much or more (if you want the Asia-only English physical cart release) and I can't justify that for what you get (games with decent if somewhat cliche cyberworld stories but very simple RPG gameplay), so I got this. I don't regret buying that Vita version though.
Tower Toppler - Atari 7800 - $23, complete in box, from ebay. I know this game is ... extremely frustrating and not good; I have the Game Boy version, which is called Castelian. I got this anyway. It is nice looking for the 7800 at least, with the rotating tower.
