Low metacritic ratings, and the graphics are probably outdated, not sure if its worth it.
Screenshots look super crappy...I shouldn't judge by graphical quality alone but it's the only thing I've got and it's do not want for me.

What bad marketing. First, it doesn't include the other Delta Force Games, but uses that name instead of the qualifier that's accurate, Delta Force: Blackhawk Down.

Second, while it's not even more than one game - one game and an expansion - 'gold' wasn't good enough for the package, it's 'platinum'.

I had a lot more fun than I should have with Tennis Master Series back in the day.

Maybe I should get this.

Shoot, too late.
Midnight Mysteries is a good time killer for 2.50. Its mostly just finding hidden objects but theres a really good Edgar Allen Poe murder mystery to solve, and some other puzzels found in many similar games, like figuring which objects interact with each other and the requisite goose, fox, grain puzzle.
Most of them are incredibly easy so I think the game was designed for kids, despite the murder theme.
Like I said, a good time waster, but not much in the way of challenge.
Initially it seems short but when you complete the first of three stories you realize the game is actually huge.

Good quick fun and easy to jump into on short notice, you can play all night or 5 minutes at a time. No real graphics options to change, if you have a large monitor every thing looks kinda pixelated, but the art is very nice.

8/10
