Odyssey 2

Showdown in 2100 A.D. - complete, $7 - this is a pretty decent Gunfight clone for the O2. Yes, found it locally today, pretty cool. It even has a 1-player mode, unlike some Gunfight games, though the AI is worthlessly bad, unfortunately.
Alien Invaders -- Plus! - $3, cart & manual (no box) - I got this because it's supposed to be good, though it is too bad it has no box because O2 boxes are so amazing looking. At least it has the manual, though. This game is an interesting spin on Space Invaders; instead of just shooting the aliens, you have to time your shots to shoot through some shields, to hit the enemies above them. Nice idea. I like how the O2 versions of popular games aren't just clones, they change things. This is a very good game. Space Invaders for the 2600 might be better, but this is a good game too.

Wing Commander - $9, complete - The Sega CD port of the PC classic. This is a pretty good price for this decent port of a good game. The controls are complex, but the back page of the manual has a full control list, and the manual is thick for a console game too -- 65 pages.
PC - these four games were $1 for all of them (not $1 each, for all four)
--
Zoo Tycoon - jewelcase only
Grand Theft Auto III - jewelcase and poster/map only
Re/Mission - complete (DVD-style case)
Medal of Honor: Airborne - case (DVD-style, with slipcover) & disc, no manual
