So I was in the main gamestore I go to, looking for NES games of course (not like I'm going to find any more Virtual Boy games... finding just one was amazing...), and I got more random stuff. :)
All NES. $16.50 total.
Legacy of the Wizard -- Falcom. Just wandering around is great fun. Great music. Actually trying to play it (without getting lost) seems like it would be frustrating, but who cares... it's fun. Very long passwords.
Faxanadu -- Falcom's other NES game. Long passwords, but fun.
DuckTales -- one of the NES classics! And with the manual, too! (Other games there with manuals: Robocop, Fester's Quest, Roger Rabbit, and Wizards & Warriors. I did not get those. Only Wizards & Warriors comes even close to being worth it...)
Snake Rattle and Roll -- controls are so hard... (from Rare)
Cybernoid -- decent shooter (with a very heavy puzzle-style "get through the situation on the screen" focus), but really, really hard.
Solar Jetman -- also from Rare. It's kind of like a worse version of Sub Terrania (Genesis)... which makes me want to just forget this and play that game. Gravity mechanic is interesting, but the game seems average at best.
3-D World Runner -- from Square, actually... interesting, fun game. Behind-the-character '3d' rail-shooter style, but it's a mostly a platformer (that is, you avoid enemies, collect things, and jump over pits)... it's got a "3d" mode for those red and blue 3d goggles. :)
