What are some MUST HAVE games suggestions to TurboGrafx-16/CD n00b?

[Obfuscate]

Cadash
Dungeon Explorer
Ys 1 and 2
Final Lap Twin (old school racing game that is a fun RPG mode and also a cheap pick up)

Just popped in my copy of Dragon Spirit, sooooooooo good! I like how if you have a multithreaded dragon you can fire and bomb at the same time!

Get Ninja Spirit, Bloody Wolf and Splash Lake. Also, check out THIS THREAD. Most of the top games are cheap and all kick ass.

Ys Books I & II, Ys Book III, Mysterious Song, Cosmic Fantasy 2, Cadash, Military Madness, Final Lap Twin, Ninja Spirit, Bloody Wolf, both the Crush games (Alien and Devil's) should all be relatively inexpensive to find and all sorts of fun to play.  Most of those are hucards.

If you're a fan of RPG's then Ys I+II and Ys III are must haves. Legendary Axe I with it's atmospheric music is fantastic as well if you like action platformers!

Get what I call the 5-pack. 5 games that are easy enough to find and not expensive, cover a wide range of genres and are perfect for starting to get into the Turbografx-16 library.

-Military Madness: Strategy, with two 16 level campaigns and the possibility of playing as the enemy too. Very addictive.
-Alien Crush: Pinball, just one main table, but a great one to play and the atmosphere kicks ass.
-Legendary Axe: Platformer, a perfect example of a simple but efective gameplay, very good graphics and sound too.
-Blazing Lazers: Shoot'em-up, one of the most well rounded in the TG library.
-Dungeon Explorer: Rpg, like and overhead, deeper Gauntlet. Lots of characters to play as, as well as 5-way multiplayer.

Blazing Lasers looks good too, but I'm not much into scrolling shooters, I do love Puzzle games and RPGs

Just popped in my copy of Dragon Spirit, sooooooooo good! I like how if you have a multithreaded dragon you can fire and bomb at the same time!

Um... so shmups are on the table then? Spriggan, any of the Soldier series, Parodius, Dragon Saber(sequel), R-type to name a few. Also Twin Bee and Xevious have bomb mechanics like Dragon Spirit. Most of the titles other ppl listed are good...except for Final Lap Twin, Time Cruse and China Warrior <hey, he ask for opinions!>
