Tom & Jerry The Movie - cart only, $3 -- Okay but not great licensed platformer, but cheap enough to be worth it I guess.

Indy Racing 2000 - cart only, $3 -- pretty fun game, based on playing it a bit. Yes, you're going around ovals, but the graphics and sound are good, gameplay is arcadey and fun (this is not a sim!), there's a good sense of speed, and it has on-cart saving. Nice. :)
Also, for $4, I got a full-sized King of the Monsters 2 (Genesis/SNES vers.) poster. Pretty cool. :)

Metal Storm?! That game is awesome! It's one of those "missed classics".

I need to find a copy of it at some point... Ah the joys of slowly reacquiring every single game I ever rented when I was a kid...

You're right, it's a pretty good game. I'll definitely have more to say about it (in a thread I think) after I beat it. :)
Was at Gamestop today... just couldn't resist this.

Gratuitous Space Battles is on sale on Steam for $5, or for $6.25 with all the DLC, so I picked it up. Looks interesting. :)

All five of these things were $2 each, so $10 total.
PS2 (disc only games)
--
The Mark of Kri
Dark Angel (scratched disc, we'll see if it works)
Legion: Legend of Excalibur
The other two things were N64 controller paks, both third party (1X) cards. One is Interact brand and the other one who-knows with a Gamepro sticker on it. I took the Interact one apart, and like usual for Performance/Interact controller paks, it uses a battery clip instead of solder and welding. Fantastic. I put a new battery in it, and the card works fine and hopefully will be good for quite a while to come... that's why I like Interact/Performance N64 memory cards, no trouble required to put in new batteries, unlike pretty much any other cart with battery ever. :)
So, I used my new memory card space by finally creating a new Shadow Man file, I'll play that later... and several more too (I had not gotten new cards for a while despite needing them for the number of games I have that need it; stuff that I don't like that much I hadn't played in a while, like Penny Racers and Re-Volt.). Re-Volt still has a bad framerate and is very inferior to the DC version of the game, and Penny Racers still has very frustrating controls that make the game not very fun to play...
I started one other game that I had never played much of and hadn't played at all in many years, though -- Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Fantastic game!

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle - $6, complete
Ghouls & Ghosts - $8, complete
Shining Force II - $7, cart and box (no manual)
Quite a good deal on Shining Force II there... decently nice price for Ghouls & Ghosts too, particularly complete. And Alex Kidd isn't too expensive online, cart only, but around here this is only about the second cart of that game I've seen in years... it's not common.
I started playing Ghouls & Ghosts, it does one important thing differently from its SNES sequel Super Ghouls & Ghosts... infinite continues, in Practice mode at least! This option makes such a huge difference in the game, it goes from simply impossible, as the SNES game is, to frustrating and very hard (though not as hard as the SNES game, I think, G&G just isn't quite as hard as SG&G, and it's shorter) but possible. Awesome. :)
Also, Genesis Ghouls & Ghosts has an absolutely awesome cover... the awesome packaging helped sell me on it, actually, despite my being worried that I'd find it as unfunly too hard as SG&G is. Well, I'm happy I got it. Hard but worth playing. :) (Mediocre graphics and sound though, but oh well, it is a quite early Genesis game. For the time it looks good enough.)

(PC) Got Unreal Tournament 3 Black in the GamersGate summer sale. I've played the demo before, it's pretty solid. Of the multiplayer FPS games out there, though I am usually not exactly a fan of the genre, the first UT is probably the best. That was a good game...

I tried some Battle Monsters. It's a 2d fighting game, with digitized characters, sort of Mortal Kombat style in graphics. I was expecting MK clone gameplay too, but no, it's actually original, and plays as much like a beat 'em up or something. It's its own game. Oh, it's not a GOOD game, but at least it's original... :)

... That broken copy of Syd of Valis for the Genesis works in my 32X. Still doesn't work in the Genesis without the 32X, though, black screen crash right at the start... but through the 32X it works fine. Now that is really, really weird... very cool though, I've been wanting to play the game. :)

Playstation

A Mad Catz Playstation 1 racing wheel, with the box (no manual). It's got both the wheel and the pedals, and works fine, I've tested it. It's kind of cool, the wheel or NeGcon are the only ways to get analog in many earlier PSX racing games like Wipeout, Wipeout XL, etc, and is supported by almost all PS1 racing games and a few PS2 ones as well. I'd sort of wanted a NeGcon, but this will do nicely... it takes a lot of adjusting to get used to the wheel, and I don't know if I'll actually use it more than the pad, but it's great to have. I was just playing some Wipeout and Wipeout XL, trying to get used to it.
Finally, for $3 I got a loose (system only, no cords) TI-99/4A computer from the late '70s. I wonder how much the audio and video cables for this thing cost... (controller aren't a problem at least, like most computers from the era it's Atari/Sega Genesis controller compatible). It's cool looking, with a shiny silver metal top and black plastic bottom. I have never owned any '80s computers...

Circus Maximus - $5
Also, I got a used black Wiimote with Motion+ for $15 (with sleeve and strap), and a used white Nunchuck for $10, so I finally have two Wii controllers. I know the colors don't match, but it'd have been $20 to get a black Nunchuck, and that Wiimote was a great deal I definitely couldn't pass on... Wiimotes are usually at least $20 used, by themselves, around here.

It was my birthday Friday, and we were out of town visiting relatives, but I did get some gifts... $150, a framed David Ortiz photo (good sized)... and most relevant for this thread, my cousin gave me some money for games. I said the easiest way would be to put some money on my Wii, since I"d bought it, so I could get something in WiiWare...
So, I got these. Still have some money left from it, I'll get one more game too, probably Driift Mania or Star Soldier R.

Castlevania: The Adventure: ReBirth (1000 points) - We promptly played this game after downloading it, and beat it on Easy mode with 9 lives per continue. Pretty good game, I'll definitely have to replay it on normal and with fewer lives! :)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A Darklord (1000 points) - It has stupid amounts of DLC, I know, but it's an interesting Tower Defense game, and I like TD, and the GC FFCC was good so the setting is somewhat interesting too... I'm pretty early in it, but it seems good so far. Kind of an odd take on TD, not quite as good as the best kinds, but definitely interesting and worth a try.
As for the money, some of it I'm sure will go towards Starcraft II, I'll have to get a copy of that soon...

Pretty cool find. Sure, some of those games aren't the greatest, but I decided to just get them all anyway. Formula One World Championship is a good game for sure, anyway, and Cobra Command is a slightly amusing FMV game. Cliffhanger's a Genesis port licensed platformer, but it does have a new mode 7 style added level, so it's got something added at least.

Tempo - complete, $10. Tempo's not the greatest game, for some reason I just don't love it (I have played it emulated before of course), but it's a good game at least, and definitely worth it for that price, complete. 32X games aren't exactly common, and this one's an exclusive. :) It's okay, I like some things about it at least.

Maybe I'll see if I can borrow a digital camera and take some pictures or something, I don't have one myself...
... Actually I just remembered, I did take a few not-very-good pictures of some stuff a few months ago, before I moved from the apartment I was in. The pictures are almost 1MB each and don't show many actual games though, just the stuff lying around (systems, controllers, a handful of games), so it's not exactly too useful... I should take some pictures, it'd be cool to put up pics of my stuff.
How, exactly, do I go about posting 1MB Jpegs, though?

Stellar Fire - $5, complete.
The Mansion of Hidden Souls - $5, complete.
Stellar Fire is a Battlezone-style game from Sierra. It's a conversion of the PC game Stellar 7. It's pretty mediocre, sadly. Decent but nothing special graphics (this game has nothing on Battlecorps, Soulstar, Batman Returns' driving stages, etc, but it does have a simple look that works fairly well), lots of dark colors, constant undodgeable hits, flying enemies but you can't aim up or down so you just have to wait until they fly low enough to get hit... it's not a terrible game, but it's definitely not that good. The simple gameplay works fine in concept, sure, as you drive from point to point collecting items and then fighting the boss, but you restart the level when you die, and as I said it's very hard to avoid the enemy attacks along the way. I just get hit constantly. Maybe it'll be more fun on Easy difficulty, I think I'll try that... it's decent enough that I want to play it some more, but it's definitely not that great. If you want to play a great early '90s Battlezone-inspired game, play Spectre, not this. Maybe my opinion will change as I play it more though, we'll see.
As for Mansion of Hidden Souls, it's a creepy, horror-ish adventure game. Looks decently good, but I haven't played much of it yet. This game must have been popular around here at least, I see copies of it fairly often... finally got one of them.

I'd always wanted the I-War games, they're very good space combat games with more realistic space physics than almost anything else in the genre. It's pretty cool to finally have the full games. :)
MOO is of course a classic, games I've always meant to try sometime but just never have. As for TA though I've never really liked it, but now at least I can say I actually own the thing. Starcraft is still better forever though. And Age of Empires and Netstorm, too. :)
Also, someone at GAF gifted me the recently added Icewind Dale (1) Complete on GOG. That was pretty nice of them, I'll have to play it now (that is the one Infinity Engine title I don't own boxed and have never played).

Homeworld: Cataclysm - $10, complete (original style large box). I probably shouldn't have gotten this, I got Homeworld back in 2000 or so and had some issues with it (didn't like it nearly as much as many), so I never got this expansion or the sequel, and $10 isn't cheap, but... I got it anyway. Quite possibly not worth it, but Homeworld is such a beautiful game, and those big boxes are awesome looking... looking on EBay now it sells for ~20, so I guess it wasn't a bad deal.
They had a complete large box copy of the original Homeworld too, but I have that already (well, I have the Game of the Year Edition re-release, but close enough) and it was also $10, so I didn't get that.

Mission Impossible - $3, cart only
Dual Heroes - $2, cart only (bad fighting game)
Wii
--
Rock & Roll Adventures - $5 (terrible game, but I knew it and couldn't resist trying at least one of these abysmally reviewed 3d platformers... :))
Dreamcast
--
The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 - $10 (it's actually KOF '98, but they renamed it because ... um, it was 1999 and SNK USA thought that that would make the game sound more up to date, I guess? I probably could have gotten this for cheaper online, but not locally, so oh well... and I do love SNK fighting games.

The Duel: Test Drive II - free, loose cart (got with a bunch of stuff, gave me this $1 game for free)
Sega CD
--
Lethal Enforcers - $4, no back paper insert in the case (the thing with the back text and end label) - I have the second one on cart, but not this. All I need now is a Justifier... though I'm probably better with gamepad anyway. We'll see how this is different from the cart version.
SNES
--
Arkanoid: Doh It Again - $5, cart only (I loved the Arkanoid arcade machine, I'd been wanting this SNES version. It does support the SNES Mouse, which is great. I'll have to play it with that, it'll surely be better with that than a gamepad.)

TurboGrafx-16 - from EBay, lot, $14.50 total (including shipping). All games are card only, no cases or manuals.
--
Tiger Road (solid Capcom platformer with internal backup save! Colorful graphics, hard but fun gameplay, and it saves.)
Final Lap Twin (okay 8-bit-ish F1-style racing game with RPG mode. The RPG mode is interesting, but hard. Graphics are simple, but smooth. Alright game, but a little boring after a while, like many of these early behind-the-car driving games. I really wish it had internal save, the 28-character passwords are NOT fun.)
World Court Tennis (tennis game with an RPG mode. Looks like the RPG mode is from the same team as Final Lap Twin's, except there are a few improvements here. The tennis game is solid, too. Nothing amazing (and again, not exactly the most amazing graphics), but it's fun. Shorter passwords than Final Lap Twin, but still no backup save. Bah.)
TV Sports Football - A topdown football game. Password save only for seasons, not that I will ever play this game.
Power Golf - mediocre early TG16 golf game.
World Class Baseball - second copy of a game I already have.
Takin' it to the Hoop - third copy of a game I already have two copies of.
Yeah, I mostly got this for Tiger Road and Final Lap Twin, but World Court Tennis is a nice surprise too. The price was probably cheap because the games are all card only and most of them are sports games, but considering that I got a couple of decent games, it was a pretty fair price; finding anything for the TG16 other than sports games and Keith Courage for under $10 is a good deal, pretty much.

The Space Bar - $10, complete and unopened large box game
Mystery Quest: Secret Island - $2, Mumbo Jumbo casual game (jewelcase in paper cover), looks like half Solitaire and half find-the-hidden-object or something like that.
Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver - $2, jewelcase only
SimCity 3000 Unlimited - $2, disc only (technically it did come in a case, but it was in a SimCity 2000 Special Edition jewelcase... except the game inside wasn't that one, it was SC3KU. For that price I'd have bought either of them, as I only have the original floppy disc version of SC2K and the first version of SC3K (not Unlimited), but it is kind of funny, I wonder if there's a copy of SC3KU out there with SC2KSE in it...
They had a bunch of other boxed games, including some good ones (Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Full Throttle, Shadow Warrior...), but they were all the Mac versions, not PC. :( The Space Bar was the only PC one (it's a dual PC/Mac disc, actually).

Picked up Damnation because it was $4 and Puzzle Quest Galactrix because it was $2.
The New "Games I Bought" Thread -- Copied For Your Enjoyment - A Black Falcon - 1st November 2010
Galactrix is pretty good. It doesn't seem to be as popular as the first game, and maybe that's because it's more complex (hex grid instead of squares, etc.), but it's pretty good, maybe as good as the great original Puzzle Quest...

-SimCity 2000: Special Edition and Streets of SimCity- in a papersleeve, $2. Yeah, the very disc not in that jewelcase I got yesterday, that actually had SC3KU in it, shows up at a different store... pretty cool. I've never owned the Windows version of SC2k before, only the original DOS floppy version. And not only that, but Streets of SimCity was in the sleeve with it too. That game got poor reviews, but still it might be fun to check out.
-Europa Universalis II - jewelcase only, $2. Paradox game -- that is a very complex strategy title.
-Legion - jewelcase only, $2. Another Paradox game.
-The Simpsons: Hit & Run - complete in box, $2. I've heard it's sort of Crazy Taxi, we'll see.
In addition to the PC version of The Simpsons Hit & Run, two extra discs were also in the game's jewelcase: The PS2 version of The Simpsons Hit & Run, and an American Idol game for the PC. Huh. Somehow I don't think I'll have much use for that last one.

Lego Racers - $4, cart only
Also, I got a GBA SP. Blue color, original style (not the "with brighter screen" model), with the original charger. I got it because it was only $15, way under the average price for one of them around here, and looked like it was in good shape. Either for GC-GBA linking (hard to find the right light location when sitting in front of the TV (that is for using my original-model GB), to have a backlit GBA (other than the DS), etc. I think that the original GBA, and the DS, are more comfortable to use than the more cramped SP, but still it's not bad.
