It was buy 2 get 1 free for the next three. The two NES games were listed at $5, the N64 one at $7, so I paid $12 for the three.
NES
--
Vice: Project Doom - Good action-platformer with some Ninja Gaiden in it... nice find I think.
Ikari Warriors - The original and the classic... mostly a nostalgia piece, as I admit that gameplay-wise it's not so good, but... I had to get it eventually, I remember playing NES Ikari Warriors back then and liking it, so I had to get it sometime. I have Ikari II, but it's just not the same, and I don't like it much... I might like this more than that one actually.
N64
--
Carmageddon 64 - How could I pass up an opportunity to get one of the best games on the N64?
Seriously though, I know all reviews say it's one of the system's worst games, but I have to try it... I did like the first Carmageddon for PC, so even if it's bad I want to try it, with low expectations.
These next three I got for half off, so the prices listed are half of the sticker prices.
Game Boy
--
Mega Man II - $1 - cart only - The worst of the GB Mega Man games by a wide margin, and far worse than any of the NES games, and a game I've beaten a few times -- it only takes about two hours to finish -- and it's got poor music too... but it is Mega Man, and so I decided to pick it up.
GB Color
--
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons - $1, complete in box - yeah, I have this, got it in summer '01 after the game came out, but my copy is damaged (the cart itself I mean), and only works in GBA systems if I put tape over the bottom corner, which then makes the game hard to remove, and then quite tricky to get back in and functioning again... it'd be nice to have a copy that doesn't have that problem, so I got this. Plus, complete Zelda game? Got to be worth a lot more than I paid.
GBA
--
DK: King of Swing - $3.50 - If I remember right this is the sort of CluCluLand-like DK game... no idea if I'll like it or not, we'll see.
