Sega CD: An Underrated System Part 1

I talk about the Sega CD and what games that are out for it that are worth getting. And also, that why Sega CD doesn't deserve to get all the hate it deserves. `

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.

The Sega Mega-CD (Sega CD) is a pretty good add-on for the Mega Drive (Genesis). When I was a kid, I never heard of it until summer 2000 (when I was 8 years old then) when I looked up Sonic CD on various Sonic sites and it was on Sega CD.

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.

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 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!
