Got a bunch today... went to a Gamestop and another store that I hadn't been to before, and they had a good amount of interesting stuff. :)
Gamecube (all complete)
--
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat - $4.50 - The thing I wanted most there. I have the bongos now, so I needed the main bongo-controlled game... I wonder if I'll like it, I have no idea.
Geist - $3.60 - Meh, cheap enough that I'll give it a try.
Super Bubble Pop - $4.50 - Got bad reviews, but I have and liked the PS1 version, so I wanted to try the improved GC/Xbox version as well, when I found it for cheap.
PS2
--
Mega Man X7 - $4.50 (no manual) - I've heard bad things about this, but want to try it anyway.
PS1
--
O.D.T. - $3 (complete) - Another Psygnosis game...
Space Griffon VF-3 - $4 (complete longbox game) - Rail shooter of sorts. Looks okay if not great, but it's cool to find another longbox game worth getting, those things look so much cooler than normal PS1 jewelcases...
Sega Master System
--
Rambo: First Blood Part II (or, according to the cartridge, just "Rambo") - $8 (no manual) - Commando/Ikari Warriors style vertical shooter. It's a very difficult but pretty good game with nice graphics and solid gameplay, this was well worth getting.
Sega Genesis
--
Lotus II - R.E.C.S. - $4, cart only - Racing game from the developers who went on to make the outstanding SNES Top Gear series. This isn't quite at that level (why can't you have both engine sound and music at the same time? Stupid!), but it's good.
Sega CD (both complete-ish and $6 each)
--
Wirehead (case intact) - Live-action-video FMV game that plays like Dragon's Lair, pretty much. That means choose what to do at each point from a couple of random directions; some will kill you instantly, others move you forward, and the only way to know which are which is trial and error pretty much. Really annoying. Still, this game is just cheesily silly enough to be worth getting I think...
Surgical Strike (one case hinge broken off) - Live-action-video "shoot things with the cursor" FMV game. Meh, we'll see.
Sega Saturn
--
Thunder Strike 2 - $6, complete (complete, case intact) - The sequel to AH-3 ThunderStrike for Sega CD. It's a helicopter flight combat game. The first one was okay but a little bland, this looks similar but we'll see. This series did alright evidently, there were three of them released... 1 for Sega CD, 2 for PSX and Saturn, and 3 for PS2.
Nintendo DS
--
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard - $16, complete -- I really don't need this game, I have the third one I'm still not that far into (awesome game, but tough as always for this series), but the price was right (below what it would cost to buy the game on EBay or Amazon), and I've always felt kind of bad for not getting this game back when it came out... well, I fixed that now.
