This is a unique review thread where you tell us how much you bought a certain game and tell us whether it is worth the price you bought it for.
If you didn't think it wasn't worth the amount you paid, tell us why and what price you would recommend it to us if we did want to buy it regardless of how bad the game is.
So in summary:
How much did you buy the game. How much did you enjoy it. How much do you personally think it is worth for us to purchase.
This is not about how bad a game is, it is simply how much the game would be worth for gamers who want to try the game out...even if it was a horrible game, even that has a price tag (albeit a low price).
Anyways, I'll start this off.
I bought SEGA Classics Collection for £4 (about $7). I think it's worth it considering in Japan the games are seperate releases worth $20 at the time...although we have a few duds in the collection, a few of them are definately worth at least £10.
All in all, I'd say the game is worth slightly more then I bought it for...about £12 (£10 for the two games that are really good and £2 for the crap after that).
Golden Sun: The Lost Age Paid: €15,00 for a used copy My opinion: I'm enjoying this greatly. It's longer and even better than the first game. Interesting dungeons, great puzzles, some of the greatest GBA graphics and a great story. Just make sure you play the first one before you start this, otherwise you don't understand the story at all. It's a direct sequel to the first Golden Sun. The cool thing about this is that you can start a new game in two ways. You can choose to start a regular new game, or transfer over character data from the first game. Eventually the old cast will join you, and if you choose the latter option, they will have all the moves and stats you gave them in the first game. Very cool! Worth it: Most definitely! One of the best handheld RPGs!
lets see... Earthbound, SNES, CIB, 340$-worth it these days and love the game
Panic Restaraunt, NES, 100$-worth it and like the randomness
Little Samson, NES, 135$-worth it for all the above reasons
Trolls In Crazyland, NES, 85$-its cool to have games that never came to usa and the more damage you take the more your weapon gets stronger
Power Blade 2, NES, 90$-had to have it because its a sequel for a platformer that i like
Cocoron, Famicom, new CIB, 85$-one of my favorite games and since i have the reproduction cart might as well get the original that never came to usa
...i have a lot but i kinda feel im exempt from this thread because im half collector half gamer. but none of my games are for sale ever. so guess that makes me more gamer...or a collector that games

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
I got this watched for when I finally play some of my retro games. So far I can only give some impressions of the Sega 6-Pack, and considering the steal I got it for, suffice to say it's worth every penny. Half the games on it aren't on the VC yet, and they're all classics with loads of variety.
Sega 6-Pack Paid: about $20 total (it came with my Genesis along with Sonic 2 and Rocket Knight Adventures) Impression: It's 6 Quality games (Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Golden Ax, Super Hang-On, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns), with a nice variety, you're guaranteed to like at least one of them. How much you should Pay: I wouldn't pay $20 for it, since it's still 6 old games, but looking online it normally goes for $5-$10, and that's a good price if you ask me, even if you already have some of them, since the total price to get half of them would cost more.
Call of Duty Black Ops- $60(PS3) Got to about 11th prestige and stopped playing due to the PSN outage. Sure got my moneys worth.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2- $25 I'm not a fan of the online but the offline was amazing in my opinion. I platinumed it without hesitation and loved every moment of it.
Bioshock- $25(PS3) Definitely not worth it. This game was a major disappointment for me, as was the second one. Uninteresting, repetitive, dull environment, etcetra. I don't understand the big deal about this game.

@Chrono_Cross I dont consider COD and Bioshock retro, maybe I am the only one.
I just bought Final Fight One for GBA sealed for $10.50. Its like having a portable Final Fight arcade. Even though I have not received it yet I would say it is definitely worth it. I will eide this after I have it.
It was totally worth it! I've wanted a complete Paper Mario 64 game for a very long time now. I've always had the stand alone cartridge but being a collector and massive fan of Paper Mario, i wanted something a bit more complete.
Final Fantasy (NES) - $15....sort of
This one was a great deal and well worth it! I bought an NES system off of Craigslist with 2 controllers and hook-ups complete in box with manuals which is already a phenomenal deal at just 15 bucks. The guy told me it had a cartridge in the system but he apparently couldn't be bothered to check what it was. Well, I picked up the system from him and opened it and to my great surprise, the cartridge in it was Final Fantasy! What a great buy THAT was
Super Mario RPG- Legend of the Seven Stars - $2
Ok, this one happened a year or so back but I feel it deserves mention. I went to a volunteers of America store to look for good deals on retro games as I often do. I looked in the collection of like 8 games they had and one of them....was Mario RPG! With a 2 dollar price sticker on it! I bought that one in a heartbeat! Also at the same store that day also for 2 dollars each, I found Wario's Woods (NES), Starfox (SNES) and Super Metroid (SNES). I think it goes without saying that this one was absolutely worth it!
Super Mario RPG ($30)- The first time I played it I thought it was good but not nearly as good as some people claim it to be. But after playing it again, I realized how wrong I was. Worth every penny.
@Ryno&Mickeymac: Although it is in the retro thread, I think limiting the titles to retro titles is a bad decision since there is no pricing constant for older titles. Since I tend to buy most of the titles I want the first time around, it would kill my interest in following this. At least with some older modern titles, it feels worth checking back. I think the thread is in the wrong section personally. /opinion

I highly recommend if you have anything that can play a GBA game, pick it up. I've seen copies at Gamestop now for $5, so now you have no excuse for playing it. It'll be the greatest purchase you ever made.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance - £60 bought it so I could experience Metal Gear 1 & 2, barely played them however (not aged well at all!) had never played MGS3 before however and totally loved it, up there with the best games I've ever played and the camera in this version is supposidly superior and makes it more enjoyable. hmm, it seemed worth it at the time and I have no regrets on paying for the best version of that game but E3 2010 was like a week after and heard about MGS3D...however without playing this I wouldn't be as excited for 3D as I am now so was it worth it...yeah, I think so and the prices go up and up for this game so could be a worthy investment for a rainy day!
