Classic Game Room HD – SEGA CD console review, Mega CD!

Posted on March 4th, 2010 by admin in cd media | 25 Comments »

Classic Game Room HD reviews the SEGA CD add-on for the Sega Genesis video game console! Or the Mega CD for those of you with Megadrives. Same thing, different colors and name. The Sega CD was originally released by Sega in 1992, updated with the model 2 in 1994/1995. It plays.. you guessed it, SEGA CD games! The MegaCD is a pretty cool device that attached to your Mega Drive (which is Mega rad) and plays compact discs with awesome video games on them like Android Assault, Silpheed, Robo Aleste and Sewer Shark. CD media is different than cartridges and back in the day this was pretty high technology. Should you buy a Sega CD? Will your MD collection be better off if kept company by a stack of Sega CD games? Well… yes. Classic Game Room goes into great detail to look over the Mega CD and review how it works, functions and operates. CGRHD is the money bomb when it comes to retro gaming reviews. Word up!

    The original Sega CD released in 1992 sat under the larger Genesis ‘16-Bit’ console. When they redesigned the Genesis in mid 1993 it was smaller and then the side mounted Sega CD came along. (I never really liked the 2nd version)
    The original was hauntingly the same size as a Saturn.

    I fell hard onto the Sega CD in October 1992. It was hard to find at first. There was the TurboDuo available as an alternative (mostly) everyone wanted the ‘new Sega’ CD console. It was thrilling just watching this intro once it booted up. Originally, The Saturn was only supposed to be a combo system to replace the aging Sega CD/Genesis but ultimately the technology was bumped up to compete with Playstation, but the blueprint was nearly 4 years old. Sega was never really able to recover.

    You’re not critical enough on Sega hardware. You fail to mention the loading times, poor build quality, and lack of good game files. While there are some good games, it’s only really enough to encourage hard-core Genesis fans to purchase this.
