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

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!

    Man segaCD was a waste of time. sure, music can be prerecorded, but chiptune fits these games better. There was pretty much no extra power available to make more complex games than a stock megadrive.

    Actually, when the Sega CD first came out, they were very well made with a slightly more solid plastic.

    It’s only the later runs that were made with cheap plastic, for obvious reasons.

    If you compare a first release with a later release, you can easily notice the difference.

    can someone tell me why u want sega/mega cd?
    Yes it had good games but in my opinion you should only get thsi after you hsve atleast 2+ retro consoles…if u want good retro games u get N64, snes, nes, sega saturn or sega dreamcast…maybe ps2 but why do people want this system if it only has like 20% gppd gamex compared to other systems

    o the anger! well my spelling is not perfect because i am from norway, not england or usa. you need anger management dude, and wanting carts to come back is just silly, no person in his right mind would want to drag a cart around instead of a cd, but yes i see your point, my 3 year old nephew always breaks my cd`s.
