These three games were $5.
PSX
--
Colony Wars (discs only in generic case) - Might be fun if I ever get a Playstation Analog Joystick...
Bomberman Party Edition - classic 2d-style Bomberman, with 5 player support... good stuff. I love Bomberman 64 too, and actually wish that there were more Bomberman games like it, but this is great too.
Sega CD
--
Rise of the Dragon (disc only) - Pretty good PC port adventure game from Dynamix. I'm happy to find this one. :)
These three were from another place.
Genesis
--
RoadBlasters - cart only, $3. Fantastic racing/shooter, and a great port of the arcade game. I have the arcade version in Midway Arcade Treasures, so I was interested to see how good the Genesis port would be... well, it's good. Great Genesis music, good graphics, a good level of challenge, plenty to memorize as you get to the harder levels, and more. Sure, it doesn't save highscores like the arcade version in MAT is, but this version's great too, and I'll definitely be playing more of it.
King of the Monsters 2 - $4, cart in case (no manual). I got the SNES version years ago, but this one isn't a port of that game. While the SNES version is a good port of the Neo-Geo original, this one's simpler, and has turned into a straight 1-on-1 monster fighting game, with no beat 'em up stages. You can play either as the good guys or the bosses. Graphics and sound are worse than the SNES version, as would be expected. It's okay, but not great... ultimately, even if this is different, the original Neo-Geo version and its SNES port are better.

Gumshoe - $5 for cart and sleeve in box (no manual). A light gun powered platformer? Unique concept! This game would be fun if I was anything other than abysmal at light gun games, I think...
