I would go back in time, and make the damn N64 run of CD's, and drop the expansion pak, and make controllers have a built in Rumble Feature.

LOL, I know. If it was the main ingredient, first timers would OD if they had too much, and everybody would be stoned after 1 drink. By main, I meant best. The only ingredient that mattered.

Well, if you ask me,

after falling off my toilet and constructing a flux-capacitor,

I would go back to the mid-90's and advise the Nintendo heads to never even consider partnering with Sony, or make a Super Nintendo CD add-on for that matter.

I would advise them to let the SNES run its full course late into 1996, then introduce the N64 with a CD- based media system.

I would also advise them to instead make the upcoming N64 with a CD interface instead of the outdated and expensive cartridges (to allow for huge games like RPG's). This kind of system, I would tell them will:

Be easy to program for.
Make games cheaper to manufacture.
Move their already huge game library into the next generation smoothly.
Keep Sony from easily gaining a foothold in the gaming industry.
Totally kick the competion's ass.

But again, that's just me.
If all else fails, take it apart!

Cennar, I was amazed that you didn't mention that you would buy tons of Dutch pot seeds and a big area of hidden land, and plant the super strong hybrid pot plants of the future.

Also, CD's mean, CD Quality Audio, possible on Cartridges, but then they'd have to be able to handle massive file sizes (even WWF No Mercy is 25MB, and each theme is radio quality)

I would trade in today's money for a bunch of authentic 1890's money, then go back in time and buy a whole load of IBM stock, around the time of the 1890 census.

See, cause gold is still expensive, so by using cash you get the advantage of reverse inflation!

On the way back I'd make a pit stop in 1983 and get a Chase the Chuckwagon cartridge.

I'd go back to 1993 and buy a bunch of top-loading NESes, come back here, and sell them on eBay for 10x the pricxe I paid for them, and do it again and again...

I think Coke stock has gone up more than IBM. A couple months ago I ran across a news article that had a few different companies listed and said how much their shares have gon up since they started, and I'm sure that both Coke and IBM were listed, and Coke was the top.
