Congratulations on the system.
I know the feeling about game series, wanting to start at the first one and then go on to play the next.
Take dragon Quest:
1-3 st game : GBC/GBA
4-6th game : NDS
7th game: PS1
8th game : PS2
9th game : NDS
Stuff like that wil have you suffling consols around alot :)
(or resorting to emulation)
