Sega CD
 


This isn't a console.  It's an expansion to the Sega Genesis.  However, because it improves the graphics (Slightly) for the Genesis, and because there were other systems (Such as the X-Eye) that were based off of it.  It deserves its own section.

I had the one that attached the Genesis on it's side.  Much cleaner setup, imo.  This one looks neat though.  Hopefully the door drive wouldn't wear out before the disc drive.

I love how you can put most Sega CD games in a regular Music CD player listen to the soundtrack.  Sure the graphics were all purple and crappy, but the music sounded great...usually.

I love that... and how you can get a ISO off the internet of a SegaCD game and burn it to a disk and play the copy in any SegaCD system without any problems.
 
SegaCD was out before copy protection was need or even thought of. I like that!

Lol I love how the Sega genesis becomes a monster with all the addons. It's like Frankenstein.

 

Good stuff.

I remember playing night trap and sewer shark on the Sega CD.  Back then it was like HD video.  Funny how skewed your memory can be about those kinds of things.  I think there is some Sega Cd video on youtube and it looks like crap.  But man, back then it was video coming from the game system!  I also remember renting the sega cd from the local video rental place.  Yeah the side mounted CD was ok but you have to get the full original monster with original genesis.

Yea, the original FMV was total garbage.  I think the 3DO was the first system that had full screen video that didn't look like ass.  Followed shortly by the Jaguar, Saturn, and PS1. 

  I own Night Trap for the Genesis CD.  It's in a plastic tub somewhere.

Re: Sega CD
 

the SegaCD/MegaCD added scaleing and rotation as well as other abilities to the genesis. IMO: FMV games was a total waist of these new features. None of the (coughbootlegedcough) games in my collection are FMV. Robo aleste, sonic CD, soul star, batman returns, night striker (only released in japan), and final fight CD take advantage of what it can do, oh and Snatcher has great cinematics (not FMV)

 

im so dedicated to my sega CD and genesis that i bought a mega cart V1.X for it. it allows for me to play any region segaCD/megaCD game on my segaCD (and is cheaper then a frequency mod, and multiple bios install) and has the ability to flash roms to it. why might you ask that i would buy such a thing when i could do that on a emulator? well i prefer the silky smooth (and acurate) performace of the orginal hardware, to the sometimes choppy and sometime inacurate performace of emulators. of course i wouldnt buy such a thing if i didnt still play my sega CD regulary, last time i played it was when i was taking a break from MGS4 yesterday.

Dude, can you PM me a link to where you get your copies from?  I wouldn't mind getting more games for my Sega CD.
