These games are all disc only and were $1 each.
PS1
--
Need for Speed: High Stakes - The PC version of this is one of the best NfS games ever. I'm sure the PS1 version isn't nearly as good, but I am interested in trying it.
PSP

Sid Meier's Pirates! - This PSP version of Pirates! apparently actually has more features than the Xbox version, oddly enough. I got the original PC version shortly after it came out in '04, so I never cared about the Xbox release, but it might be nice to have a portable version, and it was pretty cool to hear that it's actually a quite good port, and might even have a few new things. Of course the graphics aren't as good, but hopefully it's good otherwise. The '00s Pirates! remake is a good game, but it does get repetitive after a while; this is why I didn't get anywhere near the end of the PC game, the minigames get old after playing it for some hours. Still, it's a good game for sure, and I should play it again.

Pac-Man Fever - Pac-Man tries to do Mario Party.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - The '05 Splinter Cell game. This is a series I've never really tried, but... why not? I do sometimes like stealth games. Two-disc game.
Wii
--
MLB Superstars - This is a minigame collection... with a baseball theme! It's supposed to be awful of course, but I like baseball, and Wii minigame collections are sometimes amusing even if they're bad, so... why not?
Xbox
--
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow - The '04 game.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent - The '06 game, and the last one on the 6th gen platforms. Apparently the 360 Double Agent game is more of a third-person shooter, while this original Xbox one is more of a stealth game. Between those two choices, I'm definitely more interested in this one!
Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus - 3d fighting game. Hopefully it's amusing. :)
Kabuki Warriors - Another 3d fighting game.
Fantastic 4 - beat 'em up.
Total Overdose - third-person shooter. This also came with a Tomb Raider Legend preview disc, that I presume came with the game.
Xbox 360

Dark Void - I have this for the PC, but it's crash-happy and runs poorly... and plus, while the on-foot parts are better with keyboard and mouse, you also spend quite a bit of time flying in this game, and that's better on console. But you can get the PC version to work with a gamepad, so I didn't get this just for that; the performance issues are a bigger problem. And I DO kind of like this game. It's flawed, but had some good ideas... most notably, the jetpack!
