Favorite Turbo-Grafx 16 games?

I just got one off Craigslist, came with case and games (Bonk's Adventure, Deep Blue, Falcon, Ninja Spirit, Power Golf, Turrican, Victory Run, and World Court Tennis) Unfortunately the guy I bought it off of didn't have a controller, so I haven't been able to play any of the games yet. (If anybody could possibly help me out with this, drop me a PM, I would greatly appreciate that) So are there any great games that I'm missing out on? I've heard that Neutopia is a worthwhile pickup, any others? Thanks :)Favorite Turbo-Grafx 16 games?

Ok, I've been on Legacy Platforms long enough to know that you definitely know what you're talking about, so I figured you'd be the guy to ask: I've heard that playing imports on a TG16 is very easy. Do you need to buy or do anything, or is it just put it in and play? Thanks for the suggestions, looks like I've got some tracking down to do.

Well, I've only played two TurboGrafx-16 games: Neutopia and Neutopia II. Considering the fact that Hudson Soft. didn't implement many improvements to the gameplay in Neutopia II, I will say that Neutopia is my favorite TurboGrafx-16 game.
World Court Tennis has quest mode which plays like an RPG, only when you randomly encounter opponents you play a round of tennis against them. I like that when I was a kid.Try to pick up Blazing Lasers, Alien/Devil's Crush, Neutopia, Splatterhouse, Military Madness. Oh, and a warning, the cables on the controllers are only about 4 feet long.
You need Blazing Lazers Aka Gunheed, R-Type, Dungeon Explorer, Splatter House, Legendary AXE, Parasol Stars.

[/QUOTE]Why the hell isn't Ninja Gaiden up there :|?[/QUOTE]I never even saw Ninja Gaiden for the PC-Engine in my life. And the system is rather popular here. Meaning they brought all sorts of imports. But I never did saw it, even less play it.
But from what I gather it's a slight remake of the NES version.

I did not play TG16/CD yet. My old friend told me that Bonk series, Dracula X, R-Type, Galaga 88, and others were very good games for TG16 and TCD.
Thanks for all the help and reccomendations, everybody. I'll look into all these games and see which look the best. Thanks again :)
