From one place
Genesis
--
Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble - $5, game and case (no manual) -- I have the GG version of this and it's alright, why not try the Genesis version too. :)
PS2
--
Tenchu: Fatal Shadows - $5, game and case (no manual) -- the other Tenchu game that generation, and PS2-only, and without the previous game's splitscreen mode, too. It's less common than the first PS2/Xbox Tenchu, a good find for that price.
From Goodwill
Gamecube
--
Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix - $3 (no pad) - Disc looks too scratched to work, but this is a somewhat rare game ($25 at Gamestop for instance) so why not take the chance.
PC
--
Sandwarriors -- 1997 flight combat game published by Interplay. I remember reading about it at the time and being somewhat interested, but I'm not sure if there was a demo, so I don't know if I've played it. Cool find though, we'll see if it's as good as it sounded in those PC Gamer article(s). :)
And the rest of this stuff is from a couple of Gamestops. They have a buy-2-get-1-free deal this weekend that I didn't know about before going into the store, so I got more than I otherwise would have. (The Xbox games weren't under that deal, they're just always buy 1 get 2 free.)
Also, because I do have the discount card, all games were 10% off (because you get 10% off used games with the card, if you're a paying cardmember; at $15 a year though it's not hard to make back that money in savings).
Xbox (buy 1 get 2 free, discs in generic cases only)
--
Yager - This is one I want to try, and the reason I got Xbox games. $5 ($4.49 after discount)
Speed Kings - Basically like Burnout on motorcycles... another one I've wanted to play. Free, would have been $3.
Enclave - I have this already, I'll give this away as a gift. They didn't have anything else I really wanted for Xbox, and this is a great game. Would have been $5.
Sticker price/what I paid
Gamecube
--
Whirl Tour - $2/free (complete)
Worms Blast - $3/$2.69 (no manual) - Worms puzzle game, could be good.
Rave Master - $6/free (complete) - Not very common Gamecube exclusive anime-based 4 player fighting game. This is the first time I've seen a copy of this game in years.
PS2
--
Micro Machines V4 - $3/2.69 (disc only)
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria - $12/11.69 (disc in generic case, I had gotten a copy of this before but the disc was bad so I've been looking for another copy, and the game's cheaper at Gamestop than anywhere else around here, and usually cheaper than ebay too though of course there prices are mixed. Amazing game though from the little I played, I will definitely play more of this one!)
Iridium Runners - $7/6.29 - complete. Futuristic racing game with running people instead of cars. We'll see if it's any good, looks low budget, but I can never resist futuristic racing games...
Wii
--
Zack & Wiki - $10/9 - complete. I've heard lots of good things about this game, we'll see.
The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces - $9/free - complete
DS
--
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword - $10/9 - card in generic case
