Didn't realize this was unpopular. I enjoyed it a lot.

Definitely disagree. I think Sands of Time is the best in that series, both from a gameplay perspective and the narrative. Also the rebooted one called just Prince of Persia was better, in both gameplay and narrative. Warrior Within is definitely not the worst of the games, which is: Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

Mainly dislike the game because it acts like your choices are important, but in reality nothing you do really has a huge effect in the story overall. My opinion of the game severely dropped when they executed a character in front of me for no freaking reason and without giving an option to at least try and prevent it.
This is kind of the point. Lily does have a reason (irrational though it may be) for killing that character and the shock of it to you means that the main character wouldn't have time to react.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.

Also, as I said in my signature, I loved Metroid: Other M, and I think people who have a problem with the story are just throwing hissy fits because Samus isn't exactly who they thought she was.
How much time should I set aside if I want to beat Other M?
I really enjoyed the first few levels, but then got sidetracked.
It only a took me a couple hours; about the same as any of the other Metroid platformers, at least in my experience.

My main issue was this prior to that episode there hadn't really been an issue between those characters. Plus there were multiple other likely suspects. However she didn't even consider the man who is struggling for control of the group, plans on leaving with his family, and who killed her father in the previous episode as a suspect .

Basically I saw it as those were the many things that brought her to the frame of mind she was in. In my recollection there were only two people that didn't have an alibi for the act in Lily's mind and suspicion ultimately fell on the character was killed because of their associations with you. But I could be remembering that last part wrong.

Yeah it might be a little unfair to the GBA to lump the GB and GBC in together - it's just hard not to do it in my mind. The hardware wasn't all that different in the GBC versus the original. The games were still 8-bit games.
Plus I seem to recall that it was pretty clear that the GBA was coming pretty shortly into the life of the GBC.
To sum up: In my head, the GBC was more of a console revision than a new console. Hence I find myself considering their libraries as one and the same.
RE other stuff:
Fascinating discussion of the old 8-bit gaming computers. I have always been interested in those but I never had one or access to one back in the day. Hell, I didn't even know they existed at all back in the day....
Have: Sega Genesis, SNES, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari 800XL, PC, N3DS XL, Wii U, GBA, Xbox One, Switch

If you're going to get an MSX, make sure you get at least an MSX2, preferably an MSX2+. MSX2+ machines typically come with a built in floppy drive and a bit more ram. You're going to want likely 128k ram and 128k VRAM. MSX machines and MSX2 machines are a bit cheaper, but they have compatibility problems. I have an HB-FBII which is an MSX2 but I've expanded it to MSX2+ compatibility with an external floppy drive and an FM PAC sound cartridge.
The Sony Hit Bit line of MSX machines is cheap enough and have a good aesthetic. I'd recommend against my own HB-FBII, because it's not an MSX2+. I hadn't done my research when I picked it up and kinda regretted not buying an MSX2+. But there are hit bit models that are MSX2+.
The machines themselves are not too expensive. You shouldn't pay more than $150 for one, depending on the model and features. The computers really are basically consoles - just pop in the cartridge, turn the thing on, and it boots the game, no command line required. My Hit Bit model has built in rapid fire and slow mo, which is cool, and not very commonly seen.
Controllers is tough. The MSX is actually technically not compatible with the Master System/Atari controllers, because the 2nd button and a spare pin are swapped. You can very easily mod a controller to be compatible very easily - without even a soldering gun if you want to do it sloppily - but a better option is to pick up a compatible controller. The FM Towns controllers are compatible with the MSX. I use a pair of thin grey controllers which I can't seem to find pictures of. I'll snap a photo later on.
Interesting. The TI-99 has that same controller issue. It has a 9-pin port, Atari joysticks plug in - but they don't work. You need an official TI controller or an adapter.
