The Sega CD - The Unsung Add-on

I bought me a Sega CD this year and I LOVE it. I never owned one back in the day since Moms couldn't afford one then.

Boy I loved Sega CD when it came out. It was so eye-catching and advanced at the time. I remember being extremely excited to read about it pre-launch and rushed to EB to play it when they got the kiosk. Working Designs stuff had me drooling. Some absolutely awesome games in the library.

Back in 93 My best friend mom bought him a first model sega CD and it came with sherlock Holmes game,sol feace,sega genesis 4 in 1 disc and a information society music disc which I remember came all bundle in with the unit and a copy of night trap which was our first time watching full motion video on a game console and that blew me away

I've been able to play these games for the first time via emulator. This system really does get an unfair amount of hate, a lot of it is from teenagers who have never actually played any games for it and just repeat what they heard in that AVGN video.

Thank you so much. As a Sega CD owner I can say that it had some fantastic games. I read reviews in magazines so I knew which ones to avoid. I was also fortunate enough to have video stores that would rent Sega CD games. I probably played more Sega CD games then Genesis games. My list of games I owned: Sol-Feace Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective vol. 1 Sega Classics (Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Columns) Sonic CD Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin Bram Stoker's Dracula Terminator Final Fight Road Avenger Lunar The Adventures of Willy Beamish almost forgot Mortal Kombat

Great video! The Sega CD is called "Sega CD" here in Brazil though, which I always thought to be weird, since we use the Mega Drive name here, so Mega CD would make a lot more sense, but who knows what happens inside the minds of Tectoy's executives.

Awesome review! Such an underrated system. Snatcher, Sonic CD and Shining Force CD were played many a night sir!

I was already an adult of 25 years when the SegaCD was released, still sits under my Genesis. It had a lot of great games and just an FYI, the FMV games are their own genre and are fun. Some are better than others. But they have merit. Not everything has to be a damn FPS. You're an old timer like me LordX, keep up the great work and represent us old school gamers.

So a high price point was the main problem. 300$ was alot of scratch back in the early 90s.

Yes!!! Thank you Sega Lord X for giving the Sega CD some well deserved love. This console add on gets so much hate because of the FMV games. But most people don't know that back then that was a big thing. I got a Sega CD the first year it came out an it's been my favorite game console. Games like wonder dog blew me away as a kid with the cartoon intro those big bright an detailed backgrounds and that amazing CD audio sound track.

I'm mad at myself that I was such a Nintendo fan back and n the day. Sega was awesome and I hate I didn't embrace the 16bit system like I should have

Another great video. I've owned a Sega CD since launch and have echoed your very sentiments many times to those who think the system was a flop, doesn't offer good games, or was the start of Sega's downfall.

The Sega CD has a special place in my heart. I'm a big RPG fan and, before FF7 grabbed my attention, I'd obsess over FF6. Unfortunately, we were a Sega household but fortunately, we had a Sega CD and Lunar 1 and 2 were some of the best RPGs available. They're still fun plays today. I'll fire up the ol emulator and play Lunar 2. Working Designs was one of the best translators ever. I still laugh at dialogue they wrote decades ago. I appreciate the translation more today than I ever did as a child.

Its great to finally see someone making a presentation for the Sega CD on a positive tone. Subscribed!

As someone who is missing about 30 games from a complete set, I have to say I love the Sega CD. It's one of, if not my all time favorite system. Great video and thanks for putting this together! !

Just came across your channel and I’m glad I did 😊 this is really nicely put together!

I got one for Christmas '94. Best Christmas present ever during my childhood. I played a lot the games that came with it. I even liked the "INXS make your own video" game. Sonic CD FTW.

MEGA CD is underrated! I own my childhood MEGA CD "the first version" and still play today.. I have a fair few original disks, I have loads on CD-r's like imports etc.. MEGA CD/SEGA CD is not copy protected.. You can patch region disk images.. If you have a Everdrive you can change the MEGA CD bios region via the cartridge if you have the different bios images on the SD card.. I like everything SEGA and always will do..

I remember playing Ground Zero Texas it was a fun game and the FMV was not bad.

I remember buying mine used in 1995 at a video game store. I didn’t know anyone else that had one but i was always curious about the console. I got sonic CD . Ecco CD and wonderdog. I remember passing on keo flying squadron that was 10 dollars!!!. Great console with a lot of unused potential.
