I know the sega cd isn't that great but...I just got one in a lot with a sega genesis, so what are some decent games for it?

Sonic CD
Silpheed
Jurassic Park
Ground Zero Texas
Sewer Shark

I played Final Fight on the Sega CD with a friend of mine the other night, and we both thought it was a lot of fun.

Road Avenger is one of the most imaginative Dragon's Lair clones of all time (the entire game takes place with you behind the wheel of a car), and is a must if you like the genre.

Actually, there are a ton of very playable good games on Sega CD, especially to fans of the Genesis/SNES 16-bit era.  Here are a few off top of my head ...

Batman Returns - this game's scaling driving levels are unlike any other game. Lots of challenge and Outrun-style scaling as you drive to defeat Penguin's crazy henchmen and wacky bird vehicles.

Spider-man VS Kingpin - like the Genesis version multiplied by 5. Fast gameplay, lots of beat 'em up action and web swinging accompanied by CD rock and brief cinemas. 

Ecco and Ecco 2 - the soundtracks really add to the experience, else pretty much the same as the Genesis versions.

Eternal Champions CD, Terminator CD are two other great games.

I guess that Snatcher is pretty great, but I haven't yet played it.  (It's made by the guy who makes the Metal Gear Solid games)

I think this may be the only Sega CD game I actually played all the way through.  It contains an incredibly compelling narrative set in a Blade Runner like world.  A+ and worth every dime (or 500 of them at the time)
