SNES
--
Super Pinball: Beyond the Mask - $4, cart only
Game Boy
--
Crystal Quest - $6, cart only (half off). This was a pretty good find because this game is uncommon and costs a good bit more than this. I actually have the much newer digital X360 version of this early arena-ish shooter, but this GB version's fun too.
PS1
--
X-Bladez: Inline Skater - $3, complete. It may look like a Tony Hawk game, but it's more of a racing game really. A bad one by reviews, but I have a little interest in these weird skating/racing things... are any not terrible?
And also, for $25 I got... a Sega Menacer light gun for the Genesis. It works and came with all the parts -- the main section, stock, binoculars, and sensor. This thing is a blatant knockoff of the Super Scope, only with probably a slightly better design -- the 'scope' has two eyepieces instead of one, and the trigger is actually, well, where you expect a trigger to go. Also you can take it apart depending on what you want to use. Games-wise, though, there are only eight games that work with the thing, three carts (one Europe-only) and five [awful] Sega CD FMV light gun games from American Laser Games (Mad Dog McCree and three others) and Digital Pictures (Corpse Killer). I don't have the Menacer 6-in-1, the other US cart game (since I have it, Terminator 2: The Arcade Game, on SNES), or most of those CD games either, but I tried it with one and it does seem to function. The games' awful though so it's kind of hard to tell... I need to find a copy of that 6-in-1, or T2. Sega really mismanaged the Menacer! It's an okay light gun, but they released nothing at all for it other than the 6-in-1, and that was from Sega of America. There are no Japanese light gun games on the Genesis, for whatever reason. It's pretty strange, with how the Master System, Saturn, and Dreamcast all have first-party light gun games that are really good and helped define those consoles, but the Genesis doesn't at all. And then they finally released this thing as an answer to the SNES, but released no games for it other than the 6-in-1. Uh, and Sega of Europe did publish that one we didn't get here, but other than that, nothing. Strange.
... It might have been better to just licensed the Justifier or something and make games for that, but they wanted something that looked cool like the Super Scope, not so they did, games or no. And now I have the bulky thing. Oh well. (At least the price was reasonable, they often sell for more than this online these days.)
