Your last retro purchase

Myself that would be Super Metroid!
Best game in serie

The Legend of Dragoon for the Playstation

Picked up Star Tropics and Dragon Warrior for the NES.

Super Mario Bros. 2 U.S.A.

I inherited a friend's copy of Final Fantasy VII.....I won't even play it because it reminds me of my close friend's death.

SMB3, worth every penny.

Don't like the display glitch though but after a while, it's not as noticeable.

Megaman X4 playstation I like the fmvs

Final Fantasy IX, I think. Missed out on all the PS1 Final Fantasies, so this is new to me (and fun except the load times).

Secret of Evermore.

Boulder Dash
1984, Commodore 64

Downloaded the VC version, because i liked it on the original machine back then.
This is one of the most faithful C64 conversions I have played so far on VC. It's still a good game, challenging and with style and some depth. One of the old retro classics that spawned dozens of sequels and clones, but this is the original.

I wrote a review for it and some other VC/WW games back then when they came out so no need to write them again.

Will post them later.

I downloaded Castlevania NES on Virtual Console today, and think it was a solid purchase.

Dragon Quest for my NES collection still has the box art too.

Megaman X8 now I own a copy of every Megaman game released in my region.

Transformers Beast Wars for the PS1.

I just bought Chrono Cross for $19.99 at a local pawn shop.

I bought Super Mario Sunshine and I love the enchanting gameplay.

Monster Rancher 2 an interesting monster battling and breeding game where you can collect monsters from Playstation One games and even music CD's!

Well I picked up a complete box and all Magnavox Odyssey for 25 dollars from my local Goodwill store. And by complete I mean complete it has the controllers the system, the score cards, dice and a few of the games as well. I am not sure what I am going to do with it but I just couldn't resist. In case you are wondering its this

You cant get more retro than that.

I just bought a Super Gameboy cartridge for my Super Nintendo and enjoy playing some of my favorite Gameboy games in color!

I scored Super Bomberman 2 at a pawnshop for $5.

Picked up two N64 controllers today for 6 dollars each. Now I can play GoldenEye on four players.

I bought a replacement copy of Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1) for $44.99 brand new still sealed with the holographic sticker still intact!

Rygar nes, much better than the arcade game

Nice purchase their Staroceancrazy. I remember playing that game years ago at my friends house and I agree it is so much better than the arcade version. Heck its even better than the reboot they made a few years ago.

You're talking about the PS2/Wii reimagining of Rygar right? I can't for the life of me remember the name of that title.

Yep that be the one. And it was called Rygar: The Legendary Adventure which I just found out by Googling lol. I thought it was just called Rygar.

I just bought a Slimline PS1 and wow I had no idea it was as small as it is.
It's not quite as small as a Slimline PS2, but it's close.

Are you talking about the PSone?

Yes, the PSone Slim model.

A Super Nintendo and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Bought a new copy of Pokemon Sapphire With the box and all inserts. I will keep the price to myself as the price for these games has just gotten way too much. I am now mad at myself for selling my original copy a couple years back which also still had all the box contents.

You live and learn I guess....

Dragon Ball Z: Goku's Legacy which is a Dragon Ball Z RPG for the Gameboy Advance.

Digimon World 3 for the original Playstation!

Dragon Warrior VII for the Playstation!

"The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past"

After I had downloaded, "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX," I knew there was no way I could go without downloading this game on my Wii console. Definitely a must have game for any Legend of Zelda fan.

Well, I downloaded a few more 3DS VC games last night guys.

1) The Castlevania Adventure (GB VC)
This game definitely does possess a retro level of difficulty Rory. Good call on this one my friend. I don't know what the hell the reviewer at NLife was thinking, when he only awarded this game a 3 out of 10! I seriously didn't agree with score that NLife awarded Metroid II: Return of Samus either. A 7 out of 10 is considered to be just above average, and Metroid II is more than a just above average GameBoy title. It at least deserved to receive an 8 out of 10, in my opinion.

2) Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (GB VC)
Wow! I think this game might actually be more difficult than the original NES titles were. It's nothing spectacular, but it's still a good game, though. The spritework is amazingly detailed for an early GameBoy game. I would definitely recommend this game to any fan of the series or GameBoy games in general.

3) Dragon Crystal (GG VC)
I haven't bothered to try this game yet. I'm not playing any other RPGs, until after I've finished Xenoblade Chronicles. Which I'm in no hurry to do, as is probably evident. I only downloaded this game, because it reminds me of old-school PC shareware RPGs that I used to play as a child. They're great for when you want to play an RPG, but you don't feel like thinking too deeply about the battle mechanics.

I just got Final Fantasy IX as an early Christmas present from a relative today which now completes my Final Fantasy collection! Have Final Fantasy I-XIII including X-2 and XIII-2, but not the two MMO's XI and XIV.

Wario Land II (3DS VC)

This was a must download game for myself, after enjoying Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land so very much. I've been informed by several sources that Wario Land II is considered by many to be the best entry in the series after Wario Land: Shake It!. I hope that's true, because that'll mean I'll have a new favorite GameBoy game.

Lord of The Rings - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

What is the commonly agreed upon definition of a retro videogame? It seems to me that any videogame that is currently 10 years of age or older is considered by most to be retro.

For me anything from N64 down is retro, but that is all up to the person really. I guess now with the release of the Wii U the Gamecube can be considered retro to some.

I just got The Incredible Crash Dumies for my Gameboy.

Lol! Kushina, are you even old enough to remember the Crash Dummies?

No, but the game is fun!

Picked up Mario Kart Super Circuit for GBA from my local Goodwill today for $3 dollars. This was one of my first GBA games that I had years ago but it was stolen from me, glad to have it back in my collection again.

Race me if you can, dude! My FC is in the topics somewhere.

Digimon World 3 best game in series, but the story doesn't have a proper ending.

Shining Force for the Sega Genesis it is a very underrated strategy RPG that is every bit as good as Fire Emblem.

Mega Man 7 the only canon Mega Man game on the SNES.

Digimon World 2 for the PSX, sadly it has quickly become my least favorite game in the Digimon World series, yes even worse than 4.
