As a kid, I got my Dad to take me to Funcoland to trade in my Sega Genesis to buy Super Smash Bros for the N64. I kinda regret getting rid of it, but I played the heck out of Smash, and my Dad probably would have pawned it when I got older anyway, but I still missed my old Genesis. So I started looking to replace it.

I found a decently priced Genesis on eBay that came with a bundle of sports games I might never play, as well as a CIB copy of Sonic 2 at my local game shop. I ordered Road Rash 2 on eBay when I saw it was less than the market price. There's still a few more games to collect to rebuild my childhood library (even though some were just memorable rentals). I still need:

• Sonic collection
• True Lies
• Road Rash 1 and 3
• Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
• Rocket Knight
• Rock 'N Roll Racing

What other not-too-expensive games should I get?

Bonus pictures of a couple games on my old CRT for the best OG experience:

Most people are over-charging for old, worn-out TVs on places like Craigslist and Ebay, now that people are realizing how much better they are for retro gaming. I saw this one for $25 and had to check it out.

I had to clean up the corrosion in the remote to be able to change to the AV input, but it works well enough. Threw it on the kitchen counter to test it out.

Happy Winter Solstice! What traditions do you practice or have started this year? I always keep a candle lit through the darkest night and share mead with the Gods and Ancestors.
