Nice deal you got. Some people might have negative comments about J.B. Harold, and more especially, It Came From the Desert, but I am a big fan of both games.
J.B. Harold is a detective game with a case that will keep you on your feet for days. It might not be so flashy, but the story is incredible and I actually enjoy the style of it a lot. When you finally beat the game and all the clues are uncovered, it should be well worth your time

It Came From the Desert, specifically the TGCD version we are talking about here, gets crapped on a lot. Yes, it is a FMV-based game and if you've ever experienced those on Sega CD or have read about them, you know they are a genre people generally say to stay away from.
However, It Came From the Desert is more enjoyable if you ask me. ICFTD is more like watching an interactive movie with fun mini-games to play so the story can proceed. The mini-games could certainly be touched up, but it gets the job done and if you are half interested in the story, it should make the game enjoyable.
What really makes me amused by the game is the horror of it; I actually find it to be a pretty creepy game! There is one such mini game where a friend of yours will be laying on the ground with killer ants that creep up to the person and eat their flesh while they are living, which requires you to blast off the ants before your friend gets eaten alive. The horror factor of it is that you actually see the flesh getting eaten off until you see bones in blood in the spot they were chewing while the character is screaming for their life in great terror... it really freaked me out :O .
You might be turned off when you first load ICFTD, but if you at least try to give it more time, you might actually find it to be a pretty interesting and cool game like I did
