Shore Seige! - This was a decent game, sort of an active defense style, like Pillage the Village... only very different. You can purchase upgrades of the various abilities you have, and the various creatures that attack your beached ship require different attacks to repel them. Also have some nice one time items you can purchase. The defense is active, select weapons, and wield them against the approaching enemies. There is a nice balance between spending money to repair your ship, and thus win the game, or spending it to increase your ability to survive.
Monsters Den Book of Dread - Dungeon crawler, with a nice little tactical setup. It's quite a difficult game, big emphasis on inventory and equiping the right items, and experience building and skill selection. Not one of my favorite titles, but interesting.
Bonus:
Hedgehog Launch - One of my favorite games. It's simple in essence, launch the hedgehog into the air, and move him with his rockets to hit the various jump platforms and money pickups. Then upgrade him with more rocket fuel, higher and stronger launcher, more rocket power, extra rocket boosts, parachutes, radar, and goggles if you like. The goal, to get him into space in as few days as you can. This game is easy to pick up and a lot of fun. There can be a lot of luck involved, especially when you run out of rocket fuel and move into uncontrolled descent. The game rewards planning even here though, if you run out, while moving fast to one side or the other, you're likely to hit a lot more platforms. The bonus system is interesting, awarding getting coin pickups and hitting platforms, with multipliers for maximum height reached, and running time of the launch.
