A few hours later I went out, and one of the nearby stores had a bunch of new stuff in... so I got a few. $12 total, but some good stuff. :)
Wardner (Genesis)
Golden Axe II (Genesis)
DayDreamin' Davey (NES)
Sheep (PSX)
Golden Axe II is one of my favorite Genesis games, after the first Golden Axe, and I'd been looking for it at a good price for years now. I'm really happy to finally have it... all Genesis Golden Axe games are awesome. :)
Sheep's a fun little puzzle game, nothing spectacular but I'd been thinking of getting it for some time. It was quite cheap so I finally got it. Not a bad game at all... not amazing, but decently fun and challenging, it seems.
Wardner I'd never heard of before, but the cartridge art was of some kind of fantasy game with monsters and such, so I got it, wondering what it was. It's kind of a fun little game. It's very difficult, but entirely pattern-based -- memorize the patterns and you'll get farther. Looking up some stuff on it evidently some people compare it to the Ghouls & Ghosts games, but I don't know if I'd go quite that far... I mean, this is tough, but not quite like THAT. :) So yeah, an interesting game well worth the gamble!
... As for the NES game I haven't spent much time with it, but it seems like a somewhat odd top-down action game, and the first level is a maze. I'll need to play this a bit more to see if I like it.
9/2

Marvel Land (Genesis, cart only) -- Interesting platformer... very 8-bit style in gameplay and design, but with nice colorful graphics and some unique stuff. It's an arcade port evidently. The main character's male, but the sprite REALLY, REALLY looks like a girl... oh, and the game's set in a fantasy amusement park, and you have to rescue the princesses (erm, fairies. Whatever.) from the evil Lord Mole. What a thrilling plot. Gameplay's fun though, and it has password save with new passwords on every level, which is great. So yeah... very simple and oldschool design, but definitely fun. Oh, and it has sprite rotation... except every time the game does it, it slows down. A LOT.
