$10 total. From the 'buy 2 used games get 1 free' place, as with a good number (but not all) of the times when I get three games. :)

Sly Cooper in Thievus Raccoonus -- Played this for several hours already, definitely a good game. Might be better than the second one (the only one I'd played before) as most people say, too... either way it's a great game. Just got done playing it for several hours... I'm in the second area already, Mesa City. Nice graphics, great gameplay, fun levels, some real challenge... this is just a really well made, really fun game. Of Insomniac's games I still like Rocket: Robot on Wheels best (it's just more original, with all the physics-based platforming...), but this one's great. I'll definitely pick up the third game eventually too.

Night Warriors: DarkStalkers Revenge (disc only)
Blazing Dragons (disc only)
The store had recently got a Saturn with a bunch of games. All were disc only unfortunately, and the rest of the games were either sports games or ones I had already, but these two were definitely interesting, so I couldn't resist them. Night Warriors (aka Darkstalkers 2) might not have been worth it, considering that I already have Darkstalkers 3 for the PSX, which has just about everything this one does plus a whole bunch more stuff, but I couldn't resist a Saturn 2d fighting game, I didn't have any... and plus, it's a great game, and it'll be more fun with the Saturn controller than it'd be on Playstation. :)
Blazing Dragons I'd heard was an adventure game, but hadn't played before. Well, it is an adventure game, a graphic adventure actually. It's a comedy fantasy game, and quite well done. It's done in the PC graphic adventure style, with a cursor, item collecting, item puzzles, and everything you expect. The game's entirely 2d, with a fully voice acted script with all British actors (the publisher, Crystal Dynamics, was British). First impressions are definitely good... it's funny, with an amusing plot and some good humor too. I'm not too far in, but bah, where is that tube I need... :) Adventure games are great, I'll definitely be playing this one more!
Also, the collection of Saturn games included two demo discs. When I mentioned this to the guy who owns the store, he said I could just have them for free. So I now have these as well... nothing too interesting, but whatever.

Choice Cuts (a CD with a bunch of videos of games on it, no actual playable demos on this disc sadly. Lame.)
Saturn Bootleg Sampler (this disc has three playable demos as well as some videos of games. The playable demos are Sega Rally Championship, NHL All-Star Hockey '95 (the '95 was dropped from the final title), and Clockwork Knight 2. I played the Clockwork Knight 2 demo, seems like an okay game but nothing amazing. It's a 2.5d platformer with no saving (Sega standard!), and with just basic camera movement. This game's no Pandemonium, Goemon's Great Adventure, Klonoa, etc, that's for sure. Still, if it (or the first one) were quite cheap, I might pick them up... nothing special for sure, but not awful either.)
