I'll start.
Above you can see
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona and
Mega Man Powered Up for PSP and
Strider 2 for PlayStation. The latter two have been mainstays on my "to buy" list for years, and I'm glad to have finally gotten them. Both are somewhat uncommon sights in the average retro game store, but I happened to see them both at a booth at Dragon*Con last weekend in Atlanta. I especially couldn't pass on
Strider, as it was in great shape for a jewel case game.
Persona, meanwhile, is a game I'd been somewhat hesitant to get. For those unaware, the
Persona games prior to 3 are wildly different from 3+ and are much more similar to mainline SMT. This was initially a bit of a turnoff, but now that I've beaten 5 and essentially run the well dry on P3-5 spinoffs as well, I finally decided to see where it all began. Best of all, I was able to buy a sealed copy of the game for $28 on Amazon, which is not bad for a game that has presumably been out of print for 6 or 7 years.
The coolest thing I've gotten recently, though, is the
Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack on vinyl! This record is part of a series of releases by Data Discs. It's on transparent vinyl and sounds great. The interior art is also nice and detailed, and the sleeve includes some prints of concept art. Overall, it's a nice package, and it's a cool concept by Data Discs. So far, it looks like they've only released records for games that were released on Sega consoles, but I don't know if that's by design or by ease of license. Regardless, it's super cool. I might have to grab their latest release
Sonic Mania, if I like that game as much as I expect I will.
