Since CDs don't require a region mod, I'll assume you mean hucards.  Grab Son Son II, Bomberman '94, Bomberman '93 (if you don't have (or want) the pricier US version), Battle Lode Runner, Hatris (maybe this one is just for retards like me), Skweek, Parodius Da!, and Wonder Momo.  The last one isn't very good, but it's cheap and worth it so you know what everyone is laughing about.

I only have a few Japanese hu cards - but here are the ones I like that I have personally played:

Wonder Momo - not for everyone, but it's got a funny charm
Energy - not for everyone - platformer - a bit strange, but I liked playing through its goofy-ness
Bomberman 93 - what necro said
Power 11 - soccer but i still thought i was quite good. 
Populous - just a neat game in general from that era

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

hmm besides the great games others have already mentioned...

Mr. Heli and Hana Taaka Daka are lighthearted shooters, "cute-em-ups".
Gekisha Boy is an auto-scroll game where you have to take pictures of all the bizarre shit happening around you.  It's very strange, specially the oddly racist second stage.
Legend of Valkyrie is... platformer-action/rpg-ish... it's somewhere within those genres but it's a good one.

I don't believe these games were ever released in the states on other consoles, but I could be wrong.

[blah blah] Parodius Da! [more blah blah]
+1, Parodius has to be one of my favs for the Turbo. Quality right there.

The other three Konami shmups (Gradius, Salamander and Twin Bee) are good also but Parodius shines. I like Dragon Saber, but some ppl have issue with the hitbox. You also have the option to buy the cheaper JP counterpart to the US release Hu's for those pricey bastards.

Indeed. Also, if someone is kind enough, there are many old threads that list "the greatest PCE games" for you to scour. Once you discover a title you find interesting, feel free to read a review or consult us.
