Got 10 portable games for $10 + tax at my local gaming shop today:

Game Boy - Dead Heat Scramble, Fist of the North Star, Ms. Pac-Man, Romstar World Bowling, Urban Strike
Game Boy Advance - Iridion 3D, Matchbox Missions, Pinobee: Wings of Adventure
Game Gear - F-15 Strike Eagle, Poker Face Paul's Solitaire

Nothing too earthshaking, but hard to beat the price!

I got it at a local Denver game store called Level 7 Games. I've known those guys awhile and they've always treated me right.

I'll second that with Level 7 Games. They've got two locations, have always been very helpful to me. I'll go to them first for particular gaming needs before I hit the other independents in town.
I have been meaning to check them out.

Found this today for $2 at a thrift. I can't open most of the files at the moment (they're AI files but my Adobe isn't able to open them) but they're mostly promo art of characters and locations, including a black and white size reference chart of the main characters. I'm guessing the fax sheet was to send to Fox for clearances. It's nice having the whole theme song as well. :)
