Does it come with any games installed? What games can I possibly play on it? And where would I buy them? (Sorry, i used to play a long time and I'm no longer in the know)

I think it plays some DS games if I'm not mistaken. but otherwise, most of these consoles should be able to play up to PS1 with no issue. I would suggest you get a branded SD card Samsung,Sandisk etc instead of using the cheap one that it comes with since those will usually fail fairly quick.

Thank you. And where would I buy games for it?

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the 15,000 (or so) demo games that will show up preinstalled.

I was able to buy 2x of them yesterday w/ free shipping for less than $40 total [i.e., $38.46 before taxes] when you account for the $5 coupon I redeemed. I was going to use separate $3 off coupons to sweeten the deal, but unfortunately, AliExpress refused to accept any since I had already used 2x of them prior to making this order.

I've been considering one of these handheld emulators for a while now. Is this a good choice? Seems to be 40 different types and versions

For this price range ($20-$25), yes. Very few devices in this price range can run ArkOS (for emulation and PortMaster games), Desktop Linux (Debian/Ubuntu), and Android (LineageOS). The thing with R36S is it has so many clones (w/ different hardware, usually worse). Clones don't have the same level support from community.
