I'm doing the same and streaming my experience. I bought a Retrofreak and playing a bunch of obscure Japanese famicom, superfamicom, sega mark iii, master system, mega drive, game gear, game boy, gba, and finally pc-engine games. I live right next to a used game store too. It's so great. I haven't bought a new PC game for myself in about a year (I buy switch games for my kids). Oh! I also hacked my 3ds lately so I'm playing a bunch of games on that too.

I haven't bought a new-new game in... at least a decade. Last one was No Man's Sky. You probably understand my reluctance to buy new games after that lol. These days I enjoy NMS quite a bit, but it did take them years of improvements. So the lesson I learned is to not buy a game until its at least 3-5 years old. After realizing that there isn't really games for me anymore, I'm not interested in running through 3000 zombies so I can get a new and better shotgun so I can run through 5000 zombies... I decided that I'm just gonna go back with a time machine. First I replayed stuff like Escape From Monkey Island, Jazz Jackrabbit and other classics. Then I started to go through games I didn't get to play and tbh, its been great fun. A bit of a faff to set up the emulators and whatnot, but once that is done its easy going.

I really should dig out my old 3DS XL. I left lots of unfinished games on that flash cart.
