"Top 5" Sega CD Games - Lazy Game Reviews

This is the top 5 games that have been mentioned to me as "best" for the Sega CD. These would not necessarily be my own top five picks, but I felt I should comment on them since they are conspicuous by their absence from my Sega CD console review. I give my opinions on the games and reiterate my own stance on the Sega CD console and its game library.

The Sega CD is a niche/cult favorite, that in itself is the appeal. It's not a mainstream system, and that's the point. It's an obscure system with some exclusives on it that are good, and some are great. But obviously if it had the mainstream appeal that the PS1 did with TONS of games on it, then it wouldn't be a cult favorite would it?

@EnigmaHood Ah yes. The hipster argument for liking something because it's not mainstream. Fine if you like it for that, but that's not me. I'd rather have something I can enjoy thoroughly.

sorry dude only an ignorant gamer "hates" SEGA CD! or a non-gamer...

[phreakindee]

@sybnios Sorry "dude", but only an ignorant douche goes around making crappy catch-all assessments :)

I stated my reasons for not recommending the Sega CD & it has to do with it not justifying its cost to me, personally. I still own one though, because I DO like the system! I just can't bring myself to say that I would recommend buying one to everyone, because I can't bring myself to say it was 100% worth it myself. It mostly sits there gathering dust. I enjoy it & play it, but rarely.

@EvermoreMeins Guilty as charged! Although "geek" seems to fit a bit more so...

Wtf, I don't get that argument of being a cult favourite and being liked for that. The Sega CD was not meant to be a cult anything, it was for mainstream audiences and bombed because of crap games and horrible management on Sega's part.

If people like the damn thing, someone stole mine years ago, and I've never missed it.

Crappy console is just crappy.

@toxicgamesorg I don't like sage, I use oregano instead

@mrbigbadonion Look who's talking, you could have just dropped it and left. In fact the first reply I made to you should have been enough for you. There was no argument, I was trying to educate you. Quite obviously you have issue with "winning" an internet argument. That's why you kept arguing for argument's sake. But now you're trying the whole "I'll be facetious, and condescending" thing. *pats your head* Nice try. :)

[mrbigbadonion]

@EnigmaHood LOL!!! Does it really mean that much to you?. If it's really that important to you, I'l allow you to have this argument, you win, you're right, I'm wrong I bow down to your superior intellect sir, thank you for educating me in the way of "cult value" and putting me straight in my delusions, that enjoying a game system, and its games is irrelevant to anything, its all about not being mainstream, I'l take this knowledge and lead a more worthwhile life thankyou :)

[EnigmaHood]

@mrbigbadonion Naa, you are arguing for argument sake, and I already told you why emulation refutes your ridiculous point. Not my fault you don't understand. Yes I am right, the 3DO has no exclusive games worth caring about. Whether it had them first isn't really important now, its value is only cult value, which seems to be over your head. And no, it was a LOT over priced.

[EnigmaHood]

@phreakindee Lol yeah, that's why you bought it and the 3DO right? I'm explaining why people like the Sega CD. Even I never bought the Sega CD, I just like the games on it and I play them with emulator. Loved Snatcher, and like you mentioned in your annotations, it's the only English version available. Not sure why you didn't realize that in the first place.

[EnigmaHood]

@mrbigbadonion No actually I wasn't. I was trying to tell you why people like the Sega CD, and you kept arguing. The emulation point was to get you off of the "rate the system" nonsense. You can download any emulator and play any classic game you want, you don't actually need the system, so rating it is dumb. I told you, you didn't have an argument because you were saying that it didn't live up to what it was meant to be, but that's not an argument for why someone should like or

[mrbigbadonion]

@EnigmaHood Anyway, like i said lets just agree to disagree, and move on. Telling me "you don;'t really have an argument here" doesn't make yours look any more valid either, nor does it make you look any smarter, which is what you have been trying to do this whole time. As I said everyone is entitled to an opinon, I have mine, you have yours. You like Sega CD that's good for you, I dont, thats... bad for me? I don't really see what difference it makes.
