Test Drive II the Duel, is a racing game that "runs" on 286, but it's a bit like a fast slide show... doesn't really get much better on faster systems, still a bit short of frames. After that, not before, you might be trained enough to guess where the car will be in 3 frames time by the time it responds, to play Lombard RAC rally.

Titus the Fox, I get a bit frustrated with, but overall feel is like a Genesis platformer.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

There are several Simpsons and TMNT games that run fine

Shareware Wolfenstein / Sphere of Destiny (some think you need a Core I9 to run it but I always did fine on my 10mhz 286, slight choppiness was normal)
Kens Labrynth
Certain versions of Sim City
Old MS Flight Simulators
Cannon Fodder
Jill Of The Jungle
Keen
TD 3 seemed to work for me
Monkey Island (and many other adventure games)
Several Pinball games.
Arkanoid

Really a very large library
