I found a very nice Atari 2600 haul locally a few days ago. H.E.R.O. and Pengo are both rare games (rated 5 and 6 respectively on Atari Age's Rarity Guide). Amidar is common, but so much fun; all three are great games. That Joystick has different branding but is otherwise exactly the same as my Quickshot joystick that I have been using since the late 80s; so glad to finally have a second one. 
That's pretty fuckin cool. Wish we could bring the 80's back.
My summer is pretty much set now. I picked up Prey for PS4.
Plus South Park : The Fractured But Whole for the Switch.
^ Nice haul right there. I salute you.
Prey felt like a steal for $20. It’s a lot of fun.
I'm telling you, I love that game. Pisses me off that it didn't sell better and it seemed to get quite a few bad reviews which I just don't get. Did people think it was going to be a standard FPS like the first game? Not sure what there is to complain about when it's basically Bioshock 4. Reminds me of when Lost Odyssey came out on Xbox 360 and people gave it crap reviews because it was "too much like FF". During that whole "jrpg's are bad" period.
I just nabbed a few things:

I'd forgotten how much quicker paced this game is compared to the modern versions. At any rate it's nice to finally play this again after almost 20 years.
Woo hoo! My copy of Octopath Traveller has arrived. I can’t wait to start playing this tonight.

How is it compared to A Wonderful Life? They actually have AWL on the PS4 as a PS2 classic, but it's like $15. I'd like to replay that one day and it would be cool to get trophies for it on PS4, but I'll wait for a sale.

They have very little in common. Wonderful Life was one of the experimental Harvest Moon games, while 64 was the very embodiment of the formula of the series - you have a couple years to fix the farm, get married, raise a family, etc. It moves at a munch faster Pace, but there's probably a lot less content than Wonderful Life. There's no where near as much passage of time as wonderful Life. There's not quite as much to do I don't think, but unless you are a master at balancing life and work, there's still quite a bit to miss in Harvest Moon 64.

Cool, I gotta check it out one day. I have it on my, erm, "virtual console". 
I finally got an NES Classic today.

Nice. I’d like to get one myself.
Well I got myself a NES Classic today. Also picked up Mega Man X Collection 1 + 2 for the Switch. I better hurry up and download the pat two of the collection as it’s only good until 12/31/2799.
I’ve been going Capcom retro. Picked up Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection today. Both for the Switch.
I just bought Dishonnored 2 for Xbone.
Coming from a lifetime of Nintendo consoles, I'm constantly amazed at how cheap great games get on Xbox. I paid €7 for Dishonnored 2. In similar vein, I managed to buy physical copies of Deus Ex, Mass Effect Andromeda and Titanfall 2 for less than €10 each.
