I agree 100% with racketboy's list, and I have a few things to add.
Daytona/Virtua Fighter 2/Virtua Cop all came as pack-ins, so should be just about free. Hell, I've got a few copies (originals) lying around, and if you want to pay shipping, I'll mail some to you. VF2 is a great fighting game, no doubt. I got it with the Saturn and played it WAY more than all the other fighters I have - 2D & 3D COMBINED - and I nearly have them all. It is awesome.
If fighters isn't your thing, and you want a game that is very Saturny, you HAVE TO get Panzer Dragoon, or better yet PD 2 (Zwei). Zwei was the first game I ever saw on the Saturn, and I bought the system based on it (I think the guy wanted a PS2 or some such). It is seriously cool and fun, and UNIQUE.
Christmas Nights is my favorite, and while US the price never gets THAT cheap, the Japanese version is always cheap. Item 110040277273 on eBay is $11, shipped Priority Mail. The only difference I can tell is the awful english voice during the stupid movie. You are better off just not understanding it in Japanese. And if you don't play imports on the Saturn, you are missing out on most of the best stuff. Gotta have the 3D Controller and a region changer of some kind (patch, switch, or cartridge).
Sega Rally, common, cheap and great. And hard.
I think Puzzle Bobble is cheap, but I am not sure. It rules.
Of course, I would recommend modding. It is so easy, and lets you try any games you may want to buy. I'm glad I tried the US Christmas NiGHTS before buying, cuz I loved the JAP version and thought I'd like the US, but it would NOT have been worth it. The JAP version even comes in MUCH cooler packaging.
If you must have cheap originals, the same old games tend to be bundled together on eBay, often with hardware. Everybody has them by now, but some of them are actually good.
