   I finally acquired a Trinitron. I initially got a great deal on a 36" set, but   
   it was far too heavy and bulky for me to move up the stairs, so I gave it to a   
   neighbor and settled for a 27" one. So, I've been revisiting my collection   
   using my SCART-to-   
   component cables on a proper set. This month I found time to play Suchie Pai   
   2, Astal, Elevator Action Returns, and am currently making my way through The   
   Story of Thor 2.   
      
   I was disappointed to see some Saturn games I used to own are missing, and I   
   can only assume at some point I sold them long ago. This is why you don't see   
   Christmas NiGHTS up there. :/ I bought a cheap cardboard sleeve version of   
   Virtua Fighter 2 to run    
   on the set since I used to enjoy just letting watch mode run on end. I'm   
   really impressed by how well it holds up visually.   
      
   My Christmas Sega purchase is limited to that Steam Genesis collection, which   
   was on sale for $5.99. It's not a particularly well designed collection, but   
   the game selection is nice and looks pretty good from the bit I spent with it.   
   Seems silly since I    
   have most of the games and would rather play them on my X'Eye, but I figured   
   it'd be nice to have.
