...these games.
Recently stumbled across a cache of cheap game titles at Micro-Center. http://www.microcenter.com/at_the_stores/index.html
These were apparently part of a special purchase as almost all of them are $3. They are "Pocket Price" games from Midas Interactive in Holland.
Some are generic action games like:
"Enemy Star" (2D scrolling Shooter)
"Snowboard Racer" (3D Racer)
"Tiny Trails" (3D Platform Console Action Game)
I did find a couple of interesting looking titles that I never heard of before:
"Hesperian Wars" (Real-Time Strategy similar to Warcraft)
and it looks like:
"Tlon" (Adventure/RPG)
may be a hidden treasure.

Also found "Halloween Harry: 10th Anniversary Edition". (Classic PC platform game). Since the system requirements said Win9x, I had hoped that it was re-compiled.
Turned out that not only was it still DOS, but both the game and it's installer are very "speed-sensitive" (can't handle a Celeron II-566). Patching the installer works fine, patching the game itself doesn't work (game continues to die with a runtime error).
Only way I got it to run was to use DosBox, unfortunately that only works for the intro (game always crashes).
UPDATE: Halloween Harry runs fine on DosBox v0.56
