I blind bought back in the day, but not anymore; outside of the rare PC game, I only buy PCE/Turbo goodies and there aren't many of those that I haven't played at least a little bit.

Definitely, I do it all the time. It hurt back in the day when I didn't have much money. Nowadays if I get a shitty game, I can afford to feed it to my closet monster. Rawr, me closet monster, me eat shitty games and accessories!!! :P

like others back in the day I did.
I've previously owned most PCE/TG-16 games so recently as I've been rebuying them all again I can vaguely remember what ones were good or not.

Me too. I'm not much for emulation, save where it's portable. I prefer to anticipate what's coming in the mail, and savour is when it finally shows up.

Part of the fun is being surprised. If you do your research, it's usually a GOOD surprise  :D

Yeah, I blind buy, but I'll check the web for any info about a particular title. If it looks cool and it is cheap, I'll buy it.
