Get a broadband internet connection? These days, it can be cheaper than dial-up.
Broadband would also allow for downloading the full versions of the classic games.
I would say it is not worth playing offline (though I do not own Brawl, just SSBM (GC) and SSB (N64)), because the AI apparently hasn't improved since SSBM and the platforming is mediocre from the videos I have watched and reviews I have read.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
