Does Pokemon Emerald for the GBA count as a retro purchase? If so, that's mine, but I played it once until I got a badge, then saved and turned it off. When I picked it up again, ALL MY SAVE DATA WAS GONE! WTF! My internal battery had run dry. I was so pissed that I haven't turned hat game on since.

I think what people mean by retro is anything thats not this current gen system (Wii, Playstation 2 and 3, Xbox 360, DS) So yeah technically GBA would count.
My definition would be anything up to Dreamcast is retro (at least 10 years old and out production for while) so in my book Gamecube, Xbox, wouldnt be considered retro and defiantly not PS2 but thats just me.

Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario TTYD, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Gold Toadstool Tour, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Smash Football, Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi's Mansion, TLoZ Wind Waker, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, Starfox Adventures, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Beyond Good & Evil, Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem, RE Zero, RE, RE 4, Viewtiful Joe, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II, SSX 3, F Zero GX, Soul Calibur II, Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Ikargua and Super Monkey Ball.
I purchased all of these in the last two weeks from eBay. It has cost quite a bit to do this but all titles are complete and in mint condition. I think the GameCube was a fantastic console, a lot of those titles bring back fond gaming memories ..
tell me about it man lol. im almost done with my collection and the money was worth it.

I just bought a GBAsp plus a copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit at the same time.
Seems pretty cool. My motivation in buying it was so I could play my gameboy and gbc games with some light because I have started finding it really hard to play the older games using my original gameboy colour... no light at all.
I went out for a few beers last night. I got back in the early hours of the morning and drunkenly purchased Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance for the GameCube from eBay.
a sega genesis poster, a red game chair, and a big 3d plastic old school nintendo logo to match the chair yaaay!

Technically not a retro "purchase". Ah, but will that work on a Caanoo? It should. Finally, a way I can play Mother 3!
Well, the Dingoo was "the" purchase... got it used, cheap, so i'm going back to some GBA games ive missed and translations like this one and Fire Emblem 6.
speaking of Fire Emblem 6, I'd say it's my Second favorite FE so far, after FE Gaiden.
