TurboGrafx-16 - from EBay, lot, $14.50 total (including shipping). All games are card only, no cases or manuals.

Tiger Road (solid Capcom platformer with internal backup save! Colorful graphics, hard but fun gameplay, and it saves.)
Final Lap Twin (okay 8-bit-ish F1-style racing game with RPG mode. The RPG mode is interesting, but hard. Graphics are simple, but smooth. Alright game, but a little boring after a while, like many of these early behind-the-car driving games. I really wish it had internal save, the 28-character passwords are NOT fun.)
World Court Tennis (tennis game with an RPG mode. Looks like the RPG mode is from the same team as Final Lap Twin's, except there are a few improvements here. The tennis game is solid, too. Nothing amazing (and again, not exactly the most amazing graphics), but it's fun. Shorter passwords than Final Lap Twin, but still no backup save. Bah.)
TV Sports Football - A topdown football game. Password save only for seasons, not that I will ever play this game.
Power Golf - mediocre early TG16 golf game.
World Class Baseball - second copy of a game I already have.
Takin' it to the Hoop - third copy of a game I already have two copies of.
Yeah, I mostly got this for Tiger Road and Final Lap Twin, but World Court Tennis is a nice surprise too. The price was probably cheap because the games are all card only and most of them are sports games, but considering that I got a couple of decent games, it was a pretty fair price; finding anything for the TG16 other than sports games and Keith Courage for under $10 is a good deal, pretty much.
