My brother's came with all the games installed (on the SD card). Apparently some people upgrade the SD card and custom install a rom package called TinyBestSet or DoneSet. All the games are free but you can only play up to GBA/PS1.

I finished Mass Effect today. I can't believe it's nearly 20 years old. They put a lot of attention and detail in their textures and models, except for the unfortunate crazy eyes and awkward as autism moments. Overall it was a sleek game and I enjoyed the story and lore, I can see why this game was a hit back in the day. I have ME2 and ME3 to play through now, but I'm going take a detour and not play them all back-to-back.
Recently got a Steam Deck mostly to play older games. It has sold out all over the USA and EU so I picked on up knowing that it'll probably be out in UK soon and I'll be forced to buy a more expensive model if I ever want one.
So far I have been playing old Gamecube games on it - Mario Strikers and Smash Bros Melee. Both games got accidental competitive scenes particularly Melee which goes strong to this day.
I am terrible at Melee but I'm intrigued to try to improve and learn some of the tech skill.
Mario Strikers is just incredibly fun and silly.

I finished Mass Effect 3 a few weeks ago and learned I wasn't playing the originals, I was playing the remastered versions, and when I saw a comparison video between the two I am glad I got to play the remastered instead of the originals. Beautiful games with excellent visuals and a pretty cool science fiction story that is also quite probable. I then finished up some Resident Evil games that were long overdue, 5 and 6, and thought they were okay, only because I prefer the older style of Resident Evil that wasn't action oriented. I would have loved 5 and 6 if I got to play them as a teenager. I also finished Knights of the Old Republic recently. That game I had wanted to play since it came out, but when it came out my computer couldn't handle it, then by the time I got a computer to handle it, I started it, then didn't get very far before I forgot about it again. This time I played it through and... not a great game. Probably would have enjoyed it back in the day, but now that I have access to the good stuff made in the past decade and a half, it didn't age well. Not that the story or anything was poor, it was the gameplay, simply not fun and I discovered I don't care for games that have you tweak builds and weapons to maximize efficiency.
One thing I notice I don't have any time for is game replayability. When I was young the replayability of a game was a big deal since I only got one or two games a year. Now? I don't care for it. I'm not going to do a light-side run followed by a dark-side run. If a character sucks, I'm not going to use them (in Kotor there were plenty of worthless characters in your squad, like Mass Effect and FF7).
I still have Kotor 2, Star Wars Squadrons, Fallen Order, and Survivor to play, then I'll be out of the Star Wars gaming realm for a long time.
