What are some good "Bargain Bin" PC Games?

CompUSA and Best Buy have those racks of bunches of jewel cases of $9.99 PC games. Some of which i wanted to buy when released but didnt. Now i cant decide.

What are your favorite 'bargain bin' PC games?

Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far
(love this game...also has online play)

Civilization 2 (great bargain if you don't have any other civ games)

I'll echo the Fallout/Fallout 2 vote

I've seen Sacrifice and Undying for $10 each (at Circuit City I think). I don't think you'll find them in the Bargain Bin but they are great bargains none the less.

Last christmas I picked up Starcraft with the Brood War Expansion at Staples (or maybe it was Office Depot) for $9.99. Definitely can't beat that!

X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, Driver, Command & Conquer and Red Alert if you can find them are all excellent choices for $10 each.

DON'T TOUCH DEUS EX!!!!!!!!!!! The $5 one is just a demo (a long demo, but a demo nonetheless) the real full version is about $40 (that's what I paid at EB)

Even though I own it on every other console, I picked up Tony Hawk 2 for $10 last week. If you like those types of games it is a terrific value.

The $5 "limited" version is just that... limited... but you can probably find the full version of this game for $10-20, which is a bargain for a game of this caliber.

Hit the used section of EBgames or whatever they call themselves now. There are a few in my area, and they usually have some good titles for $2.99 to $9.99. I picked up Heroes of MM III complete for $9.99 recently.

I was in there today, they had Freedom Force new for $19.99. Go figure. It was a great game at $40 and I have no idea why they marked it down so fast.

Yes, the GOTY edition is $19.99 shipped at Bestbuy.com. I picked it up a few weeks ago.

I also recently picked up Tropico at Sam's club for less than tem bucks, and I really enjoy it.

I recommend American McGee's Alice.

Wonderful.

I broke my original version when I rolled over it with my desk chair (don't ask).

I'm tempted to buy it again since I loved it so much.
