Don't want to lurk moar, so two questions:
1) By retro, you mean original cartridges and consoles, or is Virtual Console also acceptable?
2) Is GameCube "retro" yet?
If the answer to 1) is positive, then I say Super Street Fighter II:The New Challengers (Wii Virtual Console)
If the answer to 1) is negative, then I say 007: From Russia with Love for Nintendo GameCube.
If the answer to both 1) and 2) are negative, then I would have to say Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the original Game Boy cartridge I bought over two years ago.
It probably would've been cheaper to buy obscure platformer Oscar as the multi-part DSi game on eShop than to buy the single Super Nintendo cart on eBay, but I did it anyways.

Here are my personal thoughts: 1) By retro, you mean original cartridges and consoles, or is Virtual Console also acceptable? I say original cartridges and consoles since we already have specific VC sections on NintendoLife. 2) Is GameCube "retro" yet? I don't consider it so but for this site yes. Pre Wii is retro.

Another visit to the Video Games Garage, another haul:
Donkey Kong for ColecoVision
Jungle Hunt for Atari 2600
X-Men for Sega Genesis (with box and manual)
Karate Kid for NES
Pro Wrestling for NES
NES Max controller
Showing my b/c PS3 some love with some PS2 games that contain classic retro games. Also got the Genesis version of Castle of Illusion for preordering the remake.

@Ryno: Yeah I know. its shame really but than again its kinda nice cause than you can choose what games you want rather than buying a collection for just one or two games. CCC 2 was the better of the 2 but the first one had some gems on it too like Final Fight, Ghost N Goblins and Mercs just to name a few.

@Tasuki: Yeah, but when you take into account you can get an old collections for $5-20 vs buying individual games you'll miss them. I bought Final Fight Double Impact which i probably should not have and just got the collection instead. But at least you can set up the old arcade cabinet which is pretty cool. I also recently got the The Simpsons and X Men when they were on sale on PSN as well. My PS3 is becoming quite the retro gaming machine when you throw in Sonics Ultimate Genesis Collection and the Mega Man collection. .

@Ryno: Lol that is the same with me on my Xbox 360. I have The Simpsons Arcade, both TMNT Arcade games, Xmen, Marvel VS Capcom II, Final Fight Double Impact, Mortal Kombat Kollection and I am thinking of picking up the D&D games too. My 360 is going to end up looking like an 90's style Arcade on the inside.

I hear Volume 1 is pretty much the PS1 Capcom Generations series compiled onto one disc. (5 games in Japan, America only got the Street Fighter part, while Europe got SF and additionally got all the non-Street Fighters in one package.)
My own retro purchase:
$2 apiece from a pawn shop:
PS2 Metal Gear Solid 2 CIB, Zone of the Enders disc-only (both with some scratching),
PS1 Activision Classics (30 2600 games) and Tetris Plus, both CIB GH
SNES Judge Dredd loose
and $5 for a CIB Taz in Escape From Mars for Genesis.

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
And as those fortunate enough to see it last night in TC already know, this week I also got an awesome Atari E.T. t-shirt:
Did you feel crappy when you wore the shirt? like the game!
there are hundreds of collectors that do the things shpy is doing and i think its freaking great

Not sure if this thread is only for games, but my Mother 2 piano book just arrived!
We love all things that are retroandphysical here kinda like @ogo79! Everything doesn't have to be as sexy as the @the_shpydar in that Atari T-Shirt though!
