Nemesis - $2.50, cart only - Finally! I've wanted Nemesis for so long, but somehow had never seen a copy... until today. I bought it immediately of course, and the price was good too. The cart's not in good shape, but oh well, it runs just fine. This game is of course the first GB Gradius game, and with how much I love the second one, I've always really wanted this, but somehow it's hard to find... not valuable, but not something I'd seen. I've played it, and it's great. Awesome to have.

Star Trek: Klingon - $3, jewelcase only - This is one of several FMV-heavy multimedia "games" released in the mid '90s. Interesting find, even if the gameplay likely isn't much.
Defense Grid: The Awakening - $2, DVD case release - Yeah, I have a digital copy of this good tower defense game for the 360, but it'd be cool to have it for PC too, and $2 for a physical copy? Yes, sure!
Additionally, a couple of days ago, for $15 I go an (official) SNES power supply. The knock-off ones are cheaper, but I decided to go with the first party one instead. Why get this? Well, so I can use the Virtual Boy with AC without having to remove my SNES's power supply of course, since the VB tap uses a SNES power supply... that's a pain and causes me to use the VB even less often than I otherwise would. I'd been meaning to get a SNES power supply ever since getting that VB AC adapter tap some time back, but hadn't until now. Well, I think it's already worth it, because I've played a couple of hours of VB in the last few days, which is a lot more than I'd used it since at least last year. The VB has some pretty good games, they're just often short... though with that screen, you don't want to be playing the thing for all that long in a sitting anyway.
Finally, the new Xbox 360 Games with Gold title is Spelunky. Haven't played it yet, but I did add it of course.
