Final Fantasy 1 on Wonderswan Color...
of course the power button broke just hours before it came in the mail. Guess I'll stick with the NES version for now.
I got a WSC years ago. I hadn't used it for awhile but it worked fine before that. Then I take it out and try to play it and it decides to not start or to power off after a short time.
Think I got a small but good collection (2 rare? mono games Klonoa and Ghosts 'n Goblins, Star Hearts, Mingle Magnet, and all the Square remakes)

I looked it up before and it appears the problem is most likely that the paint on the power button 'melted' onto the bottom and can be fixed with constructive paint. I opened the console and had a look and their didn't seem to be anything wrong with the buttons, but what do I know? Either way, I don't feel like it's worth the hassle at the moment to give it a try.
On the other hand, I do have the original WS as well and I agree it's a good (and surprisingly cheep) collector's item. If it wasn't for pokemon, I would say it's better than the Game Boy Color.
I've been considering getting Shenmue on the Dreamcast for a while and finally just went for it. Set me back £40 but I thought I'd see what the fuss is about (plus as a backup I can always sell it for a decent price).

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.

So I got my package today and this will be my last retro purchase until I go to the Portland Retro Game Expo next week
I actually got these games (along with Decap Attack which is not pictured) for 5 dollars for the four of them. All of them C.I.B. I was just browsing an online auction site saw that they had no bids on it and only had 30 minutes till it ended so I figured WTF. I mainly wanted World of Illusion since I never played it before and getting the other 3 wasn't that bad.

@Tasuki: All 4 CIB for $5 was a great buy! What auction site did you find that deal on if i might ask?
(Don't tell me here since the mods will probably frown on that, you can PM me on BL.)
Anyways, here's a few recent grabs:
LEGO Star Wars & LEGO Star Wars II (GBA) - The first game is pretty different from its console counterpart, and
not for the better. The sequel is a thankfully a much closer port of the console version of the game, and way more fun.
ET (2600) - Of course. A very good condition CIB copy; it happened to have a double of the elusive Raiders insert, which allowed me to CIB-up another of my boxed copies, so now all my boxed copies are either sealed or CIB. World domination looms ever closer! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@the_shpydar: Yeah I have Sonic 2 already cartridge only but like you said that was a great buy. I sent you a PM on Backloggery so check over there. I don't mind sharing that info with you just don't let that Ogo guy in on our secret .

Not sure if VC counts but I used some Club Nintendo stars to acquire Super Metroid, Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. Apparently they're quite good...

Nope it doesnt, only the original cartridges and discs bud. There is a Latest VC Purchase thread though you can find by using the search.

I haven't bought anything retro in quite some time, but the last thing I did get was a trio of N64 games while I was at a convention. There was a booth for this shop that sells used games and they had Perfect Dark, Hybrid Heaven, and Fighter's Destiny for pretty good prices.
I was at a tagsale today and found a couple of nice venders selling video games. I was able to get Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt on NES, Street Fighter 2 on Genesis, and Myst 3 on PS2 for less than $20. Not bad at all.
Probably not as retro as most things mentioned here, but I got Wario World and Eternal Darkness on Gamecube yesterday at Play Expo in Manchester. Not expecting great things from Wario World to be honest but it's one of about 2 or 3 Mario games/ spinoffs I've not played. I gave it a quick go yesterday and it seemed fun, if not excellent.
Eternal Darkness is one of the Gamecube's supposedly truly great games that I've never got round to and it was only £9. Looking forward to get my teeth into that.
I've ordered Puyo Puyo Sun and Puyo Puyon loose N64 carts from Japan (or Puyo Puyo 3 and 4 if you're not into cutesy homophone naming), the latter I hear is an uncommon game. (though I've heard reports of some people paying $500 CIB for it, they'd have to have been completely insane, as even on ebay I only see like ~$70 CIB listings, which means it's probably not worth more than that. Especially as that would have been several years ago when N64 stuff was all dirt cheap.)
Last night I got Marko on the Genesis, box and cart; originally the plan was for Mickey Mania to be my tenth Genesis cart, but indecisive last-minute decision-making led to me wanting to play a game I recall playing once over at my relatives when I was very very little. I still like it, as I'm playing it now, and Domark Group's game is basically the colorful and goofy version of Soccer Kid, only with a coherent narrative... and slightly more polished controls... and charm... and is genuinely fun (challenging difficulty and structure aside). Soccer Kid is solid, but its structure and scrolling speed (SNES version) for some time felt off to me.
