Ninja Gaiden - cart only, $1. This isn't by Tecmo, but is by Sega -- Sega made Ninja Gaiden games for the GG and SMS. They're actually different games, but because it was a late release the SMS version was of course Europe only. As for this GG version, I've heard it's quite short. Well, I can't say if it's short, but I can say that it's not nearly as precise as the NES games -- this game's collision detection isn't as pixel-perfect as the NES games are, not even close. It's also got minimal story at best, so don't expect much from this one. It's also strict side-view, instead of the Tecmo "isometric-style" angle. So yeah, my first impression is that this isn't exactly great. Still, it's interesting enough to be worth a dollar anyway.

Egypt 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh - $3, jewelcase only. Adventure game from Dreamcatcher. (actually set in ancient Egypt, in this case)
Rayman Forever - jewelcase only, $2. The addon of sorts to Rayman, this has additional levels (plus the original game too, I believe).
The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin - $3, jewelcase only. Another adventure game from Dreamcatcher. This one's set in medieval Arabia. You play as a Crusader survivor after the Crusader kingdoms have collapsed.
