This reminds me that I once read about a Thompson Twins game that was distributed as a flexi disc record. In order to actually play the game it had to be copied to a cassette first. Apparently it's pretty rare, since it was only available as a bonus with a specific issue of a magazine.

I have a Thinkpad T480 that I'm very happy with. I believe it's around 7 or 8 years old, but it works great. Unlike most laptops, it doesn't have soldered RAM, so it's easily upgraded. One downside is that most units don't come with a lot of storage, so you'll probably want to get a larger drive. I spent around $200 on mine plus another $100 for the SSD. It's a great inexpensive laptop that'll last for years.

This is correct, however SNES Virtual Console games were also exclusive and a number of games were enhanced on New consoles.

If you're looking to save a bit of money, you might want to consider a Japanese console and modding it. 3DS prices are pretty crazy at the moment and no one knows if they'll ever come down.

It's recommended that you use a dedicated card for FreeMCBoot.

By the way, I highly recommend checking out the rest of One Second (the album this comes from).

Edit: Apparently Oh Yeah is only included on American versions of One Second.

It was probably around '98, I saw a Pikachu keychain at the local card store and I absolutely had to have it. It just went from there.

A flashcart is definitely the best option for compatibility. Just one thing you should know about playing GBA on a DS or 3DS is that it lacks an extension port, so any link cable functionality is out of the question. As for the screen, the DS(i) has a slightly higher resolution, so there'll be a black border around the picture, but no stretching or anything. The 3DS has a much higher resolution screen and by default it scales the image up, but not to a whole number and that makes it blurry. The 3DS does that to DS games too, but can play in the original resolution by holding Start or Select when launching a game (you would need to do this every time, but I think there's a way to make it permanent with custom firmware).

Crystal is very special to me. I always felt like I was "wrong" as a child for not liking "girl things." It was the first game I ever played that offered a female protagonist. That was something that told me that I was okay the way I am. I know it's kind of silly, but it really helped me become comfortable with myself.

Irisu Syndrome! is a favorite of mine. It's only from 2008, so I personally don't consider it retro. It's tricky to learn at first since it doesn't tell you anything about how to play and I don't recall there being a manual. It's also one of those games that you can't really say too much about without spoiling things.

The Parallel has a number of issues and generally isn't a cart I can recommend. Here's a guide on what carts are and aren't recommended.

That title has isekai light novel energy.

 

This isn't the original upload, but this repost is still 12 years old.

 

This was revealed during the anniversary stream. Not a lot of info yet, but based on the rest of the Digital Monster COLOR releases, it'll probably be exclusive to Premium Bandai and probably cost between 60 and 70 USD before shipping. It might end up not coming to the international P-Bandai stores due to licensing (like the Monster Hunter ones), so anyone interested might have to go through an import store (I recommend ZeninTCG or JapanYouWant) or a proxy.

For anyone unfamiliar with Digimon v-pets I recommend this website for information and I'm also willing to answer questions.
