First, before the X360 digital sale ended on the 27th, I bought a bunch more games from it.
X360 DD (games were on sale; most of these prices are 50% off of the games' regular prices, though a few are higher than that.)
--
Fable Heroes - $5
Final Fight: Double Impact - $2.50
JUJU - $5
A Kingdom for Keflings - $5
Lode Runner - 5 - This is an X360-exclusive 2.5d remake/sequel to the classic.
Puzzle Quest - $5, plus $5 (full price, not on sale) for the DLC - I bought this because only the X360, PS3, and iOS versions of this game have the expansion pack dlc, sadly, and not any versions on better platforms for this game, ie, touch or pointer screens -- PC, Wii, DS. Ugh! I've beaten this great game on PC, years ago, but not the addon of course since it doesn't exist for that better version of the game...
Mutant Storm Empire - $5 - the mutant Storm games are good twinstick shooters, nad I've never played this one.
Small Arms - $2.50
Virtua Fighter 2 - $2.50
Additionally, from ebay, I got some CD-i games. One is the other obvious one everyone has to have for the system the others a selection of early-ish stuff mostly that I got with it for cheap. These games are all from one seller and were shipped together, for a cheaper shipping cost. And the shipping was cheap. The prices below include each games' share of the shipping.
CD-i (from ebay)
--
CD Shoot - disc in plain jewelcase, $1.50
Tetris - disc in plain jewelcase, $1.50
Escape from CyberCity - disc in plain jewelcase, $1.50
Defender of the Crown - disc in plain jewelcase, $1.50
Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Carnival - $12.50 (complete)
Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon - $106 (complete)
... So yeah, I got the other Zelda sidescroller. Is it worth over a hundred dollars? Probably not, no; like the Link one, it's an okay but not great game, with some nice music and backgrounds but sometimes annoying gameplay. I don't regret getting it at all, though, and it's a pretty cool thing to have. And like the Link one it's how horrible like the internet may want you to think. These games are far from great, but they are playable and sometimes fun. Some elements of their design are good.
Lastly, I got this today:
Dreamcast

Record of Lodoss War - $17, disc only. This game is an action-RPG, somewhat Diablo-inspired. The team would go on to make the pretty good Shining Force Neo and Exa games, and this one's supposed to play similarly so I've had some interest in it for a long time, but wasn't sure if I wanted to get this loose copy... but did. It's good.
Also, for just $3, in the sleeve, I got this VHS gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKgTDtK43cY
