That is definitely a good concern indeed... those third-party things are cheaply made, and you don't want to cheap out on a power supply.

Rayman: Raving Rabbids - $3, cart only. Unlike all other Rabbids games, this one for the GBA is actually a classic-style platformer, starring Rayman! Yeah, really. I hadn't remembered this, but after reading a bit out the game, I got it today since I saw a copy. I quite like Rayman 3 for the GBA, and this is similar.

Iron Phoenix - $3, disc in case (no manual)
PC

Classic Tetris - $2, disc only - Spectrum HoloByte's improved 1992 version of Tetris for DOS. I don't think I've ever played this version before?
Lords of Magic Special Edition - $4, complete - I've never loved this game, and do own it on GOG, but after seeing this complete big-box copy I just couldn't resist. I actually haven't played this game in a long time; who knows, maybe I'll like it more than before? You get a thick manual, poster-size unit and building guide, quick-help flyer, and some ad flyers too... nice. In addition to the big box all that extra stuff is really why I got this, digital copies are not the same.
3-D Table Sports - $1, complete and sealed - It's foosball, air hockey (sorry, "Slam Hockey"),. and Power Hoops, three tabletop sports games, in videogame form (for DOS). This is another mid '90s game, and it was cheap, still shrinkwrapped, and somewhat amusing so I got it. I'll open it eventually. Oh, and no, it's not really 3d, or at least it sure doesn't use polygons.
I also got the manual for Might & Magic VI for $2. This is another game I own digitally, but physical manuals are so much better than PDF... and this is a good manual, with lots in it.
Also for 50 cents each I got the Versus Books guide for Baldur's Gate II and the Prima guide for Hexen. They were really cheap, and I've never beaten Hexen and it's confusing at times... and for BGII, as with that Majora's Mask guide, this has a great sizable poster included in the book. I might put it up.
