Super Street Fighter II Turbo - $14, disc only - This is supposed to be a very good version of the game, and does have 6-button controller support, which is great. Sure, I'd like to have the case for this, but that'd cost more and require ebay, while this was available locally. So yeah, good pickup.

Cosmic Conflict - $6, complete - This is another one of those 'they really didn't know how to make games' titles from the early years of the industry. You've got a ~2-minute timer, a cursor you move around, alien ships to shoot, and that's it; no difficulty levels, next to no challenge, nothing. The box art's okay, but not among the best on the O2, either... but this is interesting as just about the only first-person-camera O2 game, even if it is quite basic, and as one of those early space games trying for a pseudo-"3d" look, even if it really is just sprites scrolling by, and the O2 has a small library, so I got it. I'm sure it'll be amusing for a few minutes at least, O2 games always are at least that, and many are pretty good.
