Tried the local Goodwill... they had a couple of interesting things. Some I got (these), a few I didn't (a bunch of midrange SNES games for instance, and some more old PC games). But I did get two games, and a CD case (with plastic clip holders inside, not those awful plastic sleeve things!).
Bug! (Saturn) -- four months ago, the last time I was at that Goodwill, they had a couple of other Saturn games, but not that one... now those were gone, but they had Bug!. It's too bad they didn't still have Star Fighter, I love that game, but having Bug made up for it... it's a good game and one I'm definitely happy to have.
Rotor (DOS PC [1991]]) -- Yes, complete and boxed. :) 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" disk versions both included in the box! I first thought the box said "Raptor", which is of course an exceptional game that I've owned for some time, but Rotor did look interesting -- it's basically a Solar Jetman/Thrust/Sub-Terrania style game, one of those ships-with-gravity-in-caves things. I love Sub-Terrania, so this definitely interested me... It's got horrible scrolling and PC speaker sound effects only, but oh well. I played it for a few minutes and it definitely looks fun. :)
Oh, and at another store I finally picked up the $2 copy of Blowout for GC they had. It's a very low budget 2.5d side-scrolling action/shooter... we'll see if it's any good.
