Platformers? The Bonk games, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, Ninja Spirit.

Vigilante and China Warrior!  If you have friends over and like fighting then get the Bomberman games.  Also, do you own a pc-engine or have a way to play pc-engine games?  there were a ton of platformers that were never brought over stateside.  The pc-engine softare bible pcengine.co.uk/ (http://pcengine.co.uk/) is a good place to start.

This might be heresy, but I'd probably try to find Ninja Spirit before Bonk, Vigilante, or China Warrior.  It's really good.

Learn to love shooters, Spriggan is my first recommendation. Bonk is the default go-to platformer for the turbo, so I'll second jlued's choices(Ninja Spirit also).

I'll throw in Bloody Wolf and New Adventure Island for more platformers, even though BW is more of an isometric run'n gun.

I know you said you are mainly intrested in Platformers and fighters but it's worth grabbing a copy of blazing lazers, it's a great game.

Ah, well then you might want to keep an eye out for Dragon Spirit as well.  It's not quite in the same league as Blazing Lazers, but it's still lots of fun and the music is outstanding.  It should also be dirt cheap to pick up (I think I paid less than $5 shipped for my loose pce version earlier this year).

Look into Tiger Road, I always found it quite entertaining in an old school platformy sort of way.

Spirit is a solid arcade port, Sabre just takes it up a notch on graphics and game play. Like roflmao says, the first one should be had on the cheap but the sequel might be in the $25-30 range. I enjoy both.

You have a CD system, Y's 1/2 is a great ride (I would even go so far as to say a must play for any Turbo CD owner).

Fighting Street is not worth the shipping IMO. Wait for a Super System card and get Flash Hiders if you want another fighter(Asuka and VG are other options). SF2' is the best mainstream 2d fighter you're gonna find on Turbo.

Sabre is 2 player, which is an important distinction for some.

yes, looking into y's and valis also actually, lol i actually sorta like fighting street hard not for it to just turn into button mashing though lol
