  • the sega cd has no copy protection, none. psn won't beat that

  • Does Dragon's Lair count as an FMV game? That and Space Ace are two of my favorite games of all time (probably because I'm a big fan of Don Bluth), but it seems that no one today has heard of them much less played them and that's a shame. Dirk needs more love.

  • @bartsimpson83

    the games are on psn for $5 each

  • ジャデイテのゲームの世界 = Jadeite World Game not Jedite, BTW , I liked your reviews etc man, where are ya? Have you stopped?

  • dude are you half rat? not trolling,im serious.

  • jedite do you ever let stangers jack you off it feels good!!!

  • I didn't know...

  • I like your reviews, plenty of content regarding the actual console rather than mindless cut scenes. Could have done without the language but I guess I would be the only one to say that so fair enough. Keep it up!

  • People who say the Mega CD/Sega CD is crap know nothing about this system.Yes,sadly there are many shitty FMV games,but there are also many really good titles such as Sonic CD,SoulStar,Snatcher,Lunar 1+2,Earthworm Jim Special Edition,Pitfall etc. And some of this games really demonstrates what the hardware was capable of.IMO it´s a nice addition to your Mega Drive/Genesis.

  • SEGA CD = mega drive with more storage capacity. Same sound chip, graphics chip and CPU. Anyway, this guy wasn't even born when the sega cd came out.

  • @AzumiRM

    The main CPU is the same, yes, but it is clocked significantly higher, almost twice as fast as the Genesis. I don't know where you're getting the idea that the graphics and sound chip are the same. For one, the Sega-CD can do scaling and rotation of both sprites and backgrounds natively. The audio chip provides 8 sound channels and was sample based. The big flaw was that it did nothing to enhance the pitiful color palette/display of the Genesis.

  • i like the sega cd to, i like it.

  • developers of the day were stupid. THey focused on the short term gain of wowing prospective consumers with (shitty) FMV when the system had a lot of abilities beyond FMV that could have been used to make fun games

  • This was a scam from Sega , it's like connecting a CD player to a video game console. You just get CD-quality sound.

  • @modewr

    They added hardware scaling, rotation, video capabilities, and a second CPU that ran about 50% faster in addition to CD-quality sound. Except for colours, it had more features than the SNES did. That is a lot more than just CD-quality sound!

    Get informed.

  • as you know, the gameplay of the game and things like that, people!

  • The 49 people who disliked this are probably Fans of the AVGN & Game Trailers, they need to do their research. The Sega CD Rules! If I were to redo GT's Top 10 worst Consoles, I'd replace the Sega Genesis Add-ons with Apple's Pippin. Now THAT failed.

  • Comment removed

  • Either get a new mic or talk a little further away from the one you have, there's a ton of popping sounds during the video. Really liked it otherwise, I have 2 Sega CDs, a top loader and an original one.

  • Sonic is a badass!!!!

    No-one Fucks With SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!!!!! BITCH!!!!

  • sega cd is badass

  • i love the sega cd and the 32X alike. the only thing better is a CDX with sonic cd in it. yes, i have them all. and i'll never regret it.

  • Hehe...I go to my friends house, and he says I'm the gaming master I got my Xbox360, PS3, Nintendo WII and brags about it. I tell him you're not the gaming master unless you own a Sega CD and Super Nintendo. :)

  • its not underrrated, i even hear some gamers say its perfect, and any negative reviews i have seen then owner gets flamed for it

  • mine broke

  • "...and things like that"

  • I wanna buy a Sega CD for my Genesis. I was also thinking of getting a Sega Saturn and Dreamcast.

  • I loved the Sega CD

  • Hell yeah ETERNAL CHAMPIONS!

  • you should try this why the Original XBOX returned cause XBOX died in 07 but Madden 09s on the XBOX

  • I've been playing these on emualtors and just so everyone knows, these games look choppy on the vid but they are smooth and fast.

  • I liked Sonic CD and Eternal Champions. I bought tons of games though and enjoyed them all. Sewer Shark was a decent title that came with the system. There weren't any games that did anything close sound and video wise at the time so it was nice you could just add it to your existing Genesis and use the same controllers and stuff.

  • In order to pwn a car you'd have to be one of the following: 1. The Hulk. 2. The guy from altered beast. or 3: Chuck Norris

  • or 4 the carpwner

  • the sega cd actually had pretty good 3d party support

  • It's cool to hear about people still having all their old Sega systems. I still have my Genesis, Mega Drive, Sega CD, Mega CD, Nomad, Saturn, and Dreamcast and lots of US and Japanese games for them.

  • @sidearmsalpha i have master system 4

  • I have a Genesis, but not the CD add-on for it. Instead I have a JVC X'Eye, which is a cool ass combo Genesis/CD combo.

  • Sylpheed is the shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! yea! i love my segacd i still have it.

  • holy shit someone else agrees with me Rock On Jedite

  • you forgot sylpheed

  • i dont like it, and i never even knew there were lots of movie-heavy games for it

  • Where has Jedite gone to? I understand that he is busy at work, but maybe once a month he he could update us that he's still alive. Jedite1 have a happy 09.

  • I didn't know that!

  • if anybody can find me a brand new sega cd system new unused all buy it i want this original one that sets on the bottom new unused

  • i thought night trap was the best game,although basic and simple it was the first "scary movie" game out and bein a horror fan i was well chuffed when i got it for xmas 1992.the graphics were abit crap but i loved it

  • I liked night trap too and I thought I was the only one

  • i still have mine!

  • Classic game room liked it ^^

  • AVGN is right, the CD is a piece of crap, but it has some amazing games too... I would buy it if you find it cheap

  • the hate it gets is understandable, even if there were a few good games too. it came out with a promise of new amazing possibilities, but mainly used it for a lot of horrendous live-action movie games that sucked unholy amounts of balls. and it had bad load times, which was something new cause cartridges was the norm at the time.

  • I thought sonic 3 and knuckles combined was the best

    LOL at Sonic killing himself

  • sounds like german acanthopis3d!

  • THE TERMINATOR ON SEGA CD,awesome game!

  • the reason i bought a sega cd was so i could play mortal kombat with blood, but because most of my life i never knew a bloody version of mortal kombat 1 existed on any other console, but now that i know if you enable a code you CAN play on the mega drive, or as you call it the genesis, i was getting ready to sell it, but you video has told me its well worth owning, i might pick the titles up

  • wow damm man. Yea that code was pretty well known. Don't know how you missed that one.

  • *to trunetiv"

    to me there never was blood in mk1 megadrive/genesis

    check my *no blood story* video if you wanna know why

  • i had that same shirt your wearing jedite1 lol.

  • ETERNAL CHAMPIONS

  • So pissed i bought one, it worked fine for about a month now the fucker won't turn on. Can't find a place to fix it, such a hunk of shit, i just wanna beat snatcher fuck

  • how can you wear a nintendo shirt when talking about sega cd?!

  • FINAL FIGHT CD BABY LOL

  • Bari Arm+guy with anime posters=WIN

  • What damn cables do you need to hook it up?!!

  • Man oh man am I stupid, it only requires a simple Sega power adapter!

  • "I am gonna talk about one thing and one thing only!" This guy is so sweet! "As you know this is the Sega CD as you know... As you know the Sega CD....the early to mid-90's and things like that"

    I love the quotes!

  • holy sh.. before i forget,except jaguar XJ220,and most M-CD games hosting music so almost to good for a game i forgot to tell the guys in another post (Sonic-CD music) DONT FORGET RAYMAN,WHOOW cooolt game,! cooooool music!! and heck,believe me now,dont hesitate: GHOSTBUSTERS on megadrive is a must!! cooool game cool music the mood is cool blablabla..now im even later than before. Nice engagement JEDITE1,a very good -point review? <(im swedish but ull understand)of the consol and causes around

  • you look like me kind of. lol

  • I didn't know they put final fight on it that game was awesome. The sega cd killed sega the saturn because noone trusted putting the money down for a new sega console! Thats why it's hated by sega fans! It was over priced over hyped the only games I seen for it were shit 3d ones!

  • CAn the sega cd play burnt games?

  • yes

  • Yep! There was pretty much no way to copy or download and burn CD's when the Sega Mega CD was released, so there's no real encription on the system. You can even change the region of the original game to suit your system!

  • Hey!! i have that same shirt!

  • i gotta say, i like shooters, and that looked cool, "fun challenge" yes, great vid

  • They really need to put Final Fight Guy on the Vurtual Console

  • I like the SegaCD....and things like that!

  • Me too!!!! they had really good games!!! like Snatcher "And things like that"

  • No shit, buddy. It had a 1x cdrom. All of it can be emulated, which takes care of the crappy load times. The system was ok for its time, but this guy is a little too amped up. I had one of these as a kid, and this guy is as excited about it as I was when I got mine at 12. Thankfully I got introduced to PUSSY which then took over my teenage years.

  • are you trying to be some kind of smart ass?

  • Absolutely.

  • to me or the nerd on this video, because i am very fond of pussy my friend.

  • Don't really give a fuck what you're fond of. Flexin' over youtube is stupid. As for pussy, I was talking about the nerd. All I was sayin to you is that if you're gonna hate on sega cd, hate for a valid reason.

  • good, i am glad you dont give a fuck

  • You're still missin the point, but i'll let it be. Oh, hey, good job gettin offended about a dumb joke.

  • ok whatever guy

  • I'm gonna get a sega cd once I get some money, and play lunar and stuff on it.

  • The CD was okay, but it should have been it's own seperate console, but more then anything the FMV games were what ruined it. the non-FMV games were excellent

  • ...how many times do you have to say "and things like that"

  • The problem is that some of these vid heads just wanna get there point across without thinking of what to say or how they sound when they use the same phrase 50 TIMES. Here is a hint, write down what u wanna say read it over, make corrections, and stick to the script. Oh and by the way, I bought the same Sega Cd that u showed on this vid and it was a pile of shit dude. 2 games were worth it Sonic CD and Final Fight cd.

  • Nice vid, i have the same shirt.

  • i have a genesis 3, but sucks cause i can't put a sega cd on it!

  • fmv games rule, dracula unleahsed on the sega cd is one of the greatest games ever made....fact.

  • i hated full motion video games.

  • I bought a CD a few months ago on eBay. It did suck a little, but it has a lot of great games such as Sonic CD that make it well worth the 13 bucks I payed for it. Pretty good system.

  • lol 13 bucks....what a deal..

  • tienes cara de pene

  • nope sega cd sucked since birth i know i had one at launch final fight was great but could have been done on a cart even mortal kombat looked like ass

  • sega CD was actually pretty awsome dispite the high price. Lunar and sonic CD were among the best, I don't actually own a sega CD but I'm gonna get one soon.

  • the thing i love is he just says im outta hear it would have been great if he actually said fuck you im outta hear,fuck you.if sonic said that it would be the best game ever.

  • The Sega CD definitely deserves a better reputation than Sega's other add-on, the 32X. Unlike that failure, the Sega CD actually had a decent game library with quite some gaming gems hidden throughout: Lunar, Lunar II, Vay, Popful Mail, Sonic CD, Silpheed, Keio Flying Squadron, Robo Aleste, Snatcher, Shining Force CD, Mickey Mania and many more, including ports like Earthworm Kim or Ecco. It was not a total bomb sales-wise, either, just not the hit Sega had expected.

  • Jedidte definitely has a passion for gaming but his videos should all be titles, "And things like that...as you know."

  • i'm totally into FMV games. love em! time gal forever :D

  • this vid should be called "and things like that"

  • hahaha lol

  • I have a Sega-CD. But where i come from it is called the Sega Mega-CD.

    Nice system.

  • ya that's what it's called in the PAL region i think

  • thanks the scd was a good add on

  • Pretty good retrospective... "And things like that". Thanx!

  • You remind me of Wendel from Frisky Dingo.

  • i am going get sega cd thxs for the truth

  • heres the systems i own right now ,SEGA MEGADRIVE, SEGA CD, SEGA DREAMCAST, N64, NITENDO GAMECUBE, XBOX-1, PLAYSTATION2-THAT OF COURSE PLAYS PS1, 360 VERY SOON ,Live it

  • Umm... How do you take us back in time without flux capasitor :)

  • The Sega CD ruled. Not like that bullshit like the CDi where nintendo did their old cd games (hotel mario and the zelda games are a good example that they also have their flags)

  • yes, i agree totally with you, also the fact that the sega cd+ gene could produce 3d landscapes ala Thunderstrike.

  • as you know

  • and things like that..... lol horrible

  • hahaha

  • i am realllly trying to like jedites reviews but...i cant i cant understand a word he says,

    he needs to fix his speech problems

  • The opening of Bar Arm just resembles Gundam too much.

  • If I ever play this version of Eternal Champions I'd use Xavier the warlock again, enough said.

  • "Gamers and people alike"

    lol

  • THEY WILL BE BACK WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM! Mark my words.

  • hell yea they will! SEGA RULES!

  • love the sonic

  • This man is a true gamer..

  • I'm a dreamcast man myself, but if we're gonna talk 16-bit, I'm a genesis man ALWAYS

  • i aggre,ive always been a sega man,its strange cos in NZ were i come from nintendo didint realy have much of a market here.sega definatly owned the 8 and 16bit war battle here.

  • Nintendo only cares to win in Japan, North America and Europe, and they hardly care about the rest of Asia, Oceania and Latin America.

    For 8-bit however, I would prefer the Nintendo Famicom over the Sega Master System. Maybe this is also my affinity with Nintendo in terms of 8-bit gaming but the former just got too many better and more fun games if you observe both systems closely.

  • Back in 1993 FMV looked cool to me, and I loved my JVC X' EYE. Games like PrizeFighter,Mortal Kombat CD, Sonic CD, and Night Trap were cool. Too bad Sega Of America marketed as an FMV console and not a great upgrade for Genesis like it was marketed as in Japan as MEGA CD.

  • Yes, even until today Sega Genesis and Mega Drive games are cheaper and much easier to find than Super Nintendo games. But that's to say the Super Nintendo sucked; I do own it and some games but it's more like my affinity with Sega just happens to be stronger.

  • Are you playing the prototype version of Sonic CD?

  • it sounded like u said u have to get the 7 pinecones in sonic cd

  • shining force is the shit

  • I think this is my Bus. Stats 454 TA!

  • OH MY CAR!! lulz

  • yeah dude you're absolutely right, though cd cost sega some money and a bit of rep. if they had saved the cd games and said to hell with 32X sega would still be competing with nintendo sony and microsoft in my honest opinion.

  • Not all of the games for Sega CD were bad, there just weren't enough good games to make it worth the cost.

  • I completely agree with you, the Sega CD was horribly underrated, and it's one of my personal favorites.

  • Were is Lunar 1 and 2?

    Those games couldn't of been overlooked :P

    Thanks for defending sega cd though.

    Believe it or not, it was released as a standalone with backwards compatibility to genesis but it had poor marketing.

  • Watch part 2 he covers them.

  • this guy must get so much pussy

  • Hey dude, some people get games, some people get pussy, some people get both, some people get neither. It doesn't matter what you do for fun just as long as you're respectful to others. From what I can tell by your comment I can probably safely say this guy's alot better off than you. Save the bullshit for someone who deserves it.

  • I never noticed that sonic dies when you dont play for 3 minutes, however sometimes i come in after a break at it says game over

  • amiga cd32 version of final fight was better. snacher was by far the best sega cd game

  • the sonic cd is the japanese version compare the music

  • Well AVGN is only a character, and not mrant to be taken seriously under any circumstance. Secondly, Sega CD wasn't meant to compete with Nintendo. It was created to tackle PC Engine Super CD which was having enormous success in Japan. *Claps hands*

  • SEGA FOREVER ! Sony sucks !!!

  • i loved the sega cd as well as the saturn even though there were a couple of bad games here and there the good games they had were gems

  • honestly, the sega cd looks pretty cool. too bad I don't know where to find a genesis or a sega cd

  • ebay

  • why wait for Nintendo to re-release a game on VC.

    just grab an emulator, and a few ISO's (game dumps)

    just go to

    gamerrealm dot net and grab them

  • Look's like a pretty good add on.

  • Unfortunately I never had the chance to play the Sega CD but in fact I own the other ill-faded add-on with the 32X. The only game I owned for it was Knuckles Chaotix but damn.. it was quite fun, up there with Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Maybe the peeps at Nintendo will release an external harddrive for the Wii so perhaps Sega CD games can be released on VC.

  • I agree with you about the Sega CD soundtracks. The sound on games like Lunar II and Silpheed is beyond compare, even better than many games today.

    It would be nice if your reviews made the soundtracks more audible though.

  • I agree, Sega CD is underrated. Most people never even knew it existed. I have the older version (the one that went underneath the Genesis, instead of next to it). It had some real flaws, though. Like no practical way to open the CD tray. You had to plug it into the genesis, turn them both on, and then hit "RESET". How weird is that?!

    Also, it had some RAM issues, resulting in very few save files.

  • wow, maybe you think there's alot of hate, but there's a good enough portion of good for the SegaCD that you didn't need a rant >_>

    besides, if the system didn't want such a bad rep then maybe it should've done better or not come out in the first place ya know :-X

  • LOL at the end: DIE YOU SON OF A B****! Man what a mess...

  • Lol. I have that shirt. It rocks.

  • the Sega CD was cool, my uncle had one when I was a kid and I remember playing games like Mad Dog Mcree and it was alot of fun

  • Sonic cd rocks!

  • The sonic footage sucks. It is like there is a lot of lag with the camera. Other than that the video rules.

  • You rock jedite. And you're right, the Sega CD is a great system. All those games you listed were great. SCREW AVGN.

  • You know, it makes sense to have haters, but not haters who say the stupidist things of all TIME!!!

  • Seconded.

    Sorry for that insult, but...Jesus.

  • He's only showing why the Sega CD isn't as bad as people say it is. There were alot of good games for Sega CD. Although the system sucked because it used it's own power cord.

  • Fuck you, casedistorted. The Sega CD was awesome. AVGN had no idea what the fuck he was talking about.

  • In some way, the games make the system. And if we look at the Sega CD like that, i have to say you are right (i am a great sega console fan, with huge console and game collection). BUT I am afraid YOU think, THAT the Sega CD is technicaly a piece of shit. And if i am right, you are bigger idiot than avgn, when talking about sega's failures. If developers havent made any fmv games, now sega would be still the console king.
