Asterix and the Great Rescue - $2, cart only. While this has the same name as the Genesis game of this name, this one's completely different in terms of gameplay and level designs. It looks average but I like Asterix, so it's a nice find.
Game Boy Advance

Defender - $3, cart only. Now, I love Defender; the 1980 classic is one of the best arcade games ever made. I got this because of that, and because some of Midway's GBA games are good (SpyHunter, for example), but this... well, it made a pretty bad first impression, let's just say that! There are three modes, including the original game, a graphically enhanced version of the original, and a new game which still is based on classic Defender gameplay. So, this game does not try to be like the GC/Xbox/PS2 Defender game, but instead like the original. Unfortunately that last mode is no good. It's the main mode, and it's kind of broken it's so hard to play. The zoom is too close, enemies are hard to hit before they hit you, enemies blend in with the backgrounds, and more... I can see why IGN gave this a 2/10. Oh well.

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga - $6.50, disc in generic case. This average-at-best action-RPG is something I've really wanted for some time even though I don't expect it to be very good. I don't know, I want to know...
