Episode Notes:
1. Captured on the Mega SD/SG combo.
2. You'll notice in Thunderstrike the mini-map is glitched out. I'm not sure if this was a Mega SG or SD issue exactly.
3. Some of these selections could be flipped and I wouldn't have an issue with it. In fact, I had a hell of a time deciding between Shining Force CD and Dark Wizard in that category.
4. With my Wondermega repaired and operation again, I believe I will start capturing from real hardware again. The convenience of the Mega SG/SD is awesome, but I ran into a few sound and graphical issues making this video that really irritated me.
5. Final Fight CD tends to be around $50 in Japan. Less than half a complete US release.
6. Road Rash is a pain to capture from the Sega CD. The licensed music has to be turned way way down to keep the copyright hounds at bay.
7. This episode was a massive undertaking. More than 30 minutes, it took nearly 40 hours to make. - เกม
I love how game developers were creative and took bold decisions so naturally. I'm glad we lived thru those great days in the 90s.
Best software ever.
A wonderful time where 2-3 kids with an idea could get funding and development hardware to create a bold, innovative game that changed the way we look at games. 3D effects were generated with horizontal interrupts, scanline counters, and crude scaling.
That reminds me. Your father would've wanted you to have a Sega CD. A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the nerd-velopers were the guardians of peace and justice in the old republic. Before the dark times. Before the PlayStation.
If Howard Lincoln had his way all those knarly titles would of been outlawed by senator dweeberman
We still have alot of Creativity and Innovation today.Just look at EA Games.😊❤
Final Fight CD is so much better than the SNES version, too bad Sega CD wasn't on my radar back then, and even if I wanted one I wouldn't have been able to afford one. I was able to get on the Sega Saturn train though. I'm just now re-visiting the Sega CD library over the last few years thanks in large part to Sega Lord X videos👍
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Yeah the music sounds like a cool 80s cop movie!
Yup, I actually prefer Final Fight CD to the Arcade version - the music is better in my opinion and I can actually get through it on a credit. The Arcade gets so unfairly difficult I find it hard to play with any feeling of skill.
Well it has coop, all 6 levels, all 3 playable characters and more than 3 enemies on the screen at a time so yeah of course it’s better than the snes version which was just capcom being cheap by not using a bigger memory cartridge to at least fit coop in the game
Good lord yes! I loved the FF soundtrack on Sega CD!
Hearing SLX say “this was incredibly fun to make” you just know as an audience member you’re in for a treat.
And I meant it. I really enjoyed the Sega CD.
I read your commentary at the exact same time he said it. No joke
@@SegaLordXThe Sega CD actually had 30+ great titles. To this day, it was, IMO, the most criminally underused console/addon of VG history. I'd love to see what was attempted but unreleased, as well as some modern efforts to push the hardware to its very limits.
nobody looks at NBA Jam on the Sega CD. but it played just like it does in the Arcade!
This feels like a present for me. I got a day off work and my wife is working. So what did I do? I got up and the first thing I did today was watching this video. Great content! I love Sega and thanks to the MegaSD I could finally explore the whole Sega CD library.
I remember going to my friends house , he always had the latest and the greatest , he was the first to have a psx too . I remember going in his back room and his older brother and friend were playing mortal kombat on sega cd , I was mesmerized… that’s as close as it got to an arcade port back in those days . After a few rounds of MK I remember playing tomcat alley , and firing the missiles and the FMV kicking in … I was thinking I stepped into a new gen of gaming , this got me fired up for the 32 bit coming the next couple years … freaking awesome time in gaming , great video SLX good stuff
Thanks. Appreciate the comment.
Agreed!
I'd just like to say, it's always nice to see someone who remembers that the acronym for the Playstation was originally psx
@@owlbear4928 haha amen bro
@@owlbear4928yeah and so many people nowadays argue that it wasn’t and most of those people weren’t alive when psx came out and never saw the magazines that referred to the ps1 as “psx”. I’m actually shocked there’s no replies to your comment trying to “correct” you.
I just love your passion for these games. Your first hand perspective during the lifetime of these consoles is invaluable.
yes yes yes, I cannot get enough of the sega CD so many titles that made the first jumps into CD platform
Yup. So many good games.
I’ve gone a little nuts adding Sega CD games to my Genesis Mini. Fun to see what I missed out on all these years.
As for Road Avenger, it’s good but not as good as the SNES FX Pak Pro version. That one is perfect.
knew i should have picked up the genesis mini when i had a chance. does have good compatibility with the sega cd library? any chance it has 32x compatibility as well?
@@eternalthree I have a bunch of Genesis games on my hacked SNES classic. I know, blasphemy, right?! Haha
Is hacking it difficult?
I love how SEGA CD was bragging about its FMV games and its not EVEN GOOD AT FMV. It cant do full-screen and it has only 8 colors
I used to love playing Dune and I still do every now and again. I'm surprised it's hardly ever mentioned as a strong strategy title on the Mega/Sega CD, rare to be even mentioned nowadays.
Underrated masterpiece by cryo interactive. A true hybrid genre game
I've also spent soooo many hours playing Dune. That was an epic game. At the end the Harkonnen enemies were way too strong and were easily killing my armies. We were only equipped with knives.
My mate had a mega cd back in the day, he had jaguar xj220, I'd only played the amiga port and was blown away by the sprite scaling on the mega cd. To see sprite scaling on a home system always impressed me.
I got my Sega CD for Xmas in '93, and absolutely loved it! Sure, it never lived up to its full potential for several reasons, but my friends were just blown away by Sonic CD, Eternal Champions, the enhanced port of NHL 94, etc...good memories!
Dude that NHL game is one of the best sports games ever. I still have my copy. Definitely liked it better than FIFA
I hope homebrew developers can make some games you can play these sega cd games on everdrive pro you don’t need the hardware just roms and bios files
I remember sewer shark, snatcher, final fight, robo aleste, tomcat alley, terminator, space ace and night trap being my favorite sega cd games I used to own. Oh and Star Wars rebel assault!
Also for silly FMV fun try wirehead.
Seriously, you inspire me with your love for video games. Watching your content fills me with nostalgia for a time long since passed and the beauty that came with it. I didn't grow up with the Sega CD, but I did grow up with the Mega Drive and the 16 bit generation was an incredible time to and I was fortunate enough to have experienced it even if being born in 91 meant that the 32 bit consoles were when I would become a gamer.
Lunar and Eternal Blue are flat out my favorites on that system.
Same for me. Throw in Shining Force CD for my 3rd favorite
I'm going to toss in Vay, Dark Wizard, and Popful Mail. Working Designs was awesome!
@@cakelies Popful Mail is very expensive now, about $1,200 on Amazon.
@@johntracy72 I had no idea the prices got so high - all the more reason to include them. I owned all of those, but sold them years ago. Even had the Brady Games guides for most of them. :/
I remember being at a friend's house and experiencing the Sega CD shortly after its release in late 1992. We played Sewer Shark for hours. At the time, the Sega CD seemed like a time machine, showing us the future of video games.
I mean like SLX said through the gift of hindsight we can all see how things turned out and it is odd to look back and see the perception that it had and still has versus what people thought at the time. I know I was kind of impressed at the time but the more I saw of it the less I liked. I never owned it even now and can see the best things that were available for it were never really front and center.
The Zombie Historian Thank God "Sewer Shark" wasn't the future!😂🤣
@@attilathehun0
Yep we can all be glad that game was "dog meat'. (That's a reference to the game in case it wasn't obvious)
Nice compilation! One of the best gaming awards I have seen! Awesome Video SLX!
Excellent choices - I'd have chosen about 90% of what you did here. Watching this reminded me of how CORE really understood the hardware, and made several of my favorite games on the platform. Great video, sir!
Ive just recently gotten into collecting Sega consoles, i missed out on much of Sega as i grew up with Nintendo and then moved on to Sony and then Xbox but now i have a Sega Saturn, 32x, Sega CD, Genesis and Dreamcast and soon a Game Gear and im loving all the time im having with them. So many amazing games i missed out on and now am finding out and learning about and giving second chances too. Back in the day (im 40) we rediculed Sega CD and laughed at its VMV games but as an adult, i appreciate it now and its history and what it tried to do. Sega was so innovative back then and even though not everything stuck, it was still cool to see and look back on. And you channel has been invaluable in my Sega Education. Thanks!
I loved the Sega CD and was there right at launch. The store I got it from had only 1 early one and said it was one of the first ones in Los Angeles. Think it was supposed to be a floor demo in advance of regular stock but they had no kiosks so they sold it to me. Loved every minute of it and it genuinely felt like the next generation.
Really glad you gave Jaguar a shout out. It’s not flashy but I had a ton of fun with it and it had a pretty good soundtrack.
I normally only watch TH-cam videos that are in the 10 minute range(give or take), as I find most content creators don't have much to say past that time period(if I even watch that long). SLX is one of the few, where I will watch a 30 minute plus long video, and enjoy every minute of it. So thanks again for all the amazing content, as it's greatly appreciated.
High praise. Thank you for watching and commenting.
So many of these I missed out during the time of having an actual model 2 Sega CD but I'm glad years later I can enjoy them now.
Always appreciate your videos
And I thank you for watching them.
Excellent! Thank you for making this, now I have a list of games to play on the Sega CD.
Great video yet again SLX, no idea how you've managed to put out such a quantity of videos, whilst retaining the quality all this time. Refreshing to hear somebody just share their memories and experiences with some classic consoles and games, without resulting to shouting and swearing for the sake of it. Keep up the great work, we appreciate it 👍👏🏴
Congratulations on the video Sega Lord X! No doubt alot of blood, sweat and tears went into making this, well done.
Just wanna point out some things like the Formula 1 racing game ''Beyond The Limit'' or ''Heavenly Symphony'' in Japan. I noticed there was no footage of that game in your video and I fully understand not all games were going to be included, but that game has some of the best scaling and rotation i've ever seen on the system. My most favourite F1 racing game of all time! Also the Core Design Mega Drive/Genesis games such as ''Chuck Rock'' and ''Wolfchild''on the add-on included extra levels and in some cases the same levels were extended to make a larger, longer playing experience, tis was briefly mentioned in the video but not those specific titles. Awesome video, loved watching it.
I really enjoy this series, helps me expand my knowledge on some of the systems I missed out on.
This was the video I was waiting for. God tier as always. Your videos help me cope with my current living situation which unfortunately has been in my car since July of 2021. Thanks for all that you do man. You keep my childhood alive.
Bruh get a job instead of watching TH-cam😂😂
Dude great video, I wonder if some day we will have a Turbografx cd special like this, I would love a video with your quality over it
Another job well done! I too loved the Sega CD and I enjoyed every minute of this video. I am happy to say I own most of the games on this list including an original disc of Snather. The Sega CD is one of the reasons why I am a retro gamer today. Thanks for the video and I can't wait to free up some time from work to spend some quality time playing my Sega CD. I have to also give a shout-out to Jurassic Park on the Sega CD. Back in the day, it blew my mind with its immersive gameplay that takes place right after the events of the movie. This was another game that was just not possible on a cart and it is also another Sega CD exclusive.
Good timing on the video, I’ve been collecting for the Mega CD a lot lately. Just today I got Snatcher and Final Fight CD in the mail!
Such a great concept for a 'list' video. You should do more of these for all the Sega consoles. Great as always, my lord!
Love me some Sega CD, those were an extremely exciting couple of years!
It was. I played it as much as my Genesis, easily.
Same.
Great video! Always love the Sega CD videos as there truly are some amazing games on there. It's been one of my favorite libraries of games to poke around in thanks to the Everdrive Pro. I was surprised to see how much they added with the Special Edition of Earthworm Jim, and truly wish the Sega Saturn port of the second game, took the same approach. Excellent stuff, and glad to hear you sounding better. Hope the cold/allergies are behind you now!
your delivery and style keep me coming back....love it, man
Appreciate that. Thank you.
You’re the MVP of the Sega community on TH-cam. You’re always fair, balanced and just have a calming presence that works well so that when you get enthusiastic, it makes things stand out well. I thought I knew my Sega games, but thanks to you, I got so much more mileage out of my Saturn, with games that are now favorites of mine like Bulk Slash and Kieyo’s Flying Squadron, among many others. You also mentioned superb hacks for the Genesis, such as Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition, which is now easily the best looking and playing version of Mortal Kombat on consoles of that era, including the Sega CD version. The color hacks video put me on to how good Final Fight for the Sega CD could look, and your 32x games reviews were also very fair, highlighting how better ports of some of those games have been made by many of the talented artists and coders in thr Sega fan community. All I can say is thanks!
I was the only person in my friends group with a Sega Saturn until 9th grade, where my track team had a gaming party we’d throw after practice on the school AV system, playing Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop 1-2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Sega Rally 2. I remember PS1 owning friends finally understanding why we loved the Saturn. The other cool thing about being the Sega lover on my block as a kid was getting to play the Nintendo systems at my friends houses, then they’d get a different experience at mine. My friend had his birthday recently, I’ve known him since 1st grade, he too loved Sega, so we’d trade carts, but he lived about 8 mins by bike ride, and I couldn’t ride over there too late as a kid. He had an arcade party in 3rd grade, and we took an updated photo with each other playing TMNT arcade, as well as house of the dead, despite that one coming out much later on, given that his wife rented some classic arcade machines for his birthday party. His son finally had a chance to play some of the games we grew up with, and it was amazing. He said he’d never play House of the Dead ever again after beating it with me on free to play mode, then a girl that lives next door to him came by and asked him to play it and he played through the whole game again. He’s young so he loved how overly campy it was, and despite the old school 3D graphics, it hit me as to how stunning it still looked on the perfectly crisp, refurbished CRT screen it had. Despite the age of the graphics, and the green blood, he had a few jump scares from it. Another cool thing is, despite not growing up with Sonic, he loves the movie.
It’s a strangely good time to be a Sega fan, it’s almost surreal. It’s even crazier to see Sega poke fun at themselves with the appearance of Uncanny Valley Ugly Sonic in the Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers Disney Plus movie, which was surprisingly good.
Lord amazing content as always. Keep on bringing those great memories. Thank you!!!
Almost 36 minutes of pure Sega CD awesomeness, man this was expensive back in the day and still is but thanks to emulation I can have the opportunity to play your recommendations. Thank you so much for this video is really a work of art.
I LOVE my Sega CD. Always have, always will. The hours I've spent engrossed in RPGS, adventure games, and the FMV games, I can't count. Yes, I do love the FMV games, too! I picked up a complete copy of Snatcher back in 96 or so for around 10 bucks. Best decision ever. Also got Keio Flying Squadron and Popful Mail for almost nothing back then.
I own a lot of my favorites as well, but Snatcher eludes me.
Nice! There were times I have been tempted to sell my original copies of Snatcher and Popful Mail but then I realized it would be next to impossible to get them back later. Again, really strange these games were never re-released.
I remember getting Snatcher new at EB Games for $6.99 around 95-96. Amazing game.
@@DeathlessDevil Wow! What an amazing price. Enjoy.
Might just have to go the repro route with snatcher, I just don’t think spending 800+ bucks on a complete copy would be a good decision for my collection as much as I want to play it.
Super Glad you included Thunderhawk here. This was incredible at the time and my favourite game on the platform
Awesome video, you brought back some great memories sega lord x. Here in Australia the sega cd was priced at $700 dollars and only being 16 at the time, it was way out of reach. When my mates and I saw the first live demo, it was simply amazing, animation and speech coming from a game was just incredible, then to hear cd music was unbelievable. In 94, I was very fortunate to win a to play and compete in the sega championships, coming first for state and runners up for Australia. Winning a sega cd and games along the way. What a fantastic time it was for gaming back then you just get the same feeling for today games, like you did back in the day.
I grew up with the Sega CD. A close friend I was all the time with had one, and it was not uncommon we rent a CD or two and spend a weekend at his house playing. I missed a mention to Spiderman, which for me would win the best original over Terminator. Great video.
Awesome video, Sega Lord X! This actually was something I needed. The Sega CD was such an underrated system! I only grew up with a Genesis, but never got to experience a Sega CD as a kid. Recently, I've been diving into the Sega CD to see what I missed out on and didn't know where to begin. I appreciate your summary of great Sega CD games to check out. Some of these games I have never heard of before, but they look really fun!
The only Sega CD game I played as a kid was Sonic CD, but I played the version ported to the PC. I replayed Sonic CD on the Sega CD recently and I loved it even more now than I did as a kid. It may be my favorite Sonic game ever and I even grew up with the Sonic trilogy on the Genesis.
Man, not a lot of people talk about the MegaCD with love... it's good to hear!
I really enjoyed the format of this video.. I'dd love to see it for more Sega Consoles!
Absolutely killer video. I've always loved my Sega CD as well and find that most people that said the games were trash are the ones that never played on the system back when it came out.
The list you put together was just great. Now sure some of my favorites didn't make your cut, but I totally see why you would choose some of the games you did. Lunar series is the perfect pick for rpg. Road avenger is another great pick for FMV game even if two others that I liked didn't make the cut, but it's a packed category.
I'm just glad to see you doing more Sega CD videos.
This is my new favorite series. Please do more like this!
I was thinking that very thing.
Keep doing what your doing SLX, absolutely love your content!
As a avid sega cd fan/collector, this was brilliant! As always, a job well done. Keep up the great work man!
this list really hits home, thanks for reminding me of my childhood keep up the great work +1Sub
Man I enjoy your content so much, still waiting for the journey through your collection.
Great selections! I missed some of these games! I am still trying to get a hold of Lunar 2 myself but these are all amazing games indeed!
Awesome video. I could really feel your passion for Sega CD watching this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I still have my 32X and SEGA CD that I got in the 90's and I personally always enjoyed both. For me it was a blast playing on these mysterious at the time pieces of hardware. I used to come home from school and play Virtua Fighter and Sonic CD.
I traded in my megadrive and sega cd and 32x with over 100 games for a brand new saturn, regretted it years later but holding onto those things just wasn't a done thing then! You made a good decision to hold onto it John!!
Sonic CD and Mortal Kombat are the games I keep coming back to when I load up my Sega CD. As well as my guilty pleasure, Sewer Shark. That game came with my system way back in the day and I have some really fond memories with it, even if I can acknowledge that it’s not a great game.
It’s a tough game too. You need two people to keep up with the tunnels.
They're coming and they're coming fast Dogmeat! 😄
Sewer Shark has kind of a weird feel to it you get hypnotized by the motion of the tunnels. Get a copy of SOUL STAR if you can its an amazing game with real 3D graphics
thats the one I wish I could get
This video was spot on. I couldn't agree more with your selection.
Nice touch with the Batman Returns track on the intro, always loved that song lol.
Great video! I had a blast with my Sega CD and honestly really liked most of the games I had for the system even the FMV titles.
I would love to see a best of for 32X and Saturn too!
I liked the fmv games that were arcade ports. And the sherlock holmes games are a guilty pleasure of mine.
Excellent work! Thanks!
I remember as a kid, trying out RPG's from time to time and hating them. Lunar was the game that changed that for me.
thanks for the reminder on cobra command. playing that first level was so much fun
My 2 fav systems was Mega CD & 3DO still to this day your channel is becoming my fav channel i been watching your vids for 2 days straight so far i got the Mega CD when it came out loved it Great Channel do you stream at all
Oh man, I was hoping you would have picked my favorite sports game on Sega CD - NHL '94 with cut scenes and upgraded sounds it was really a blast. Have my original setup and many games to this day. Glad I never sold them! Thanks for your hard work SLX.
I agree with you about the Sega CD. I also bought it early on and always enjoyed playing the games. All the games you chose were great, but there were still so many others you could have picked. There were plenty of great games for it. Mistakes were made, and opportunities were missed, but I don’t consider it a failed system in any way. I was in my 20’s when it came out and my friends and I all bought one. No regrets. I love it to this day, and along with the Genesis and Saturn, it’s still my most frequently played system. As you succinctly put it, it was under appreciated. Thanks for the video full of some great memories for me.
I sincerely appreciate your list and reviews of the SegaCD specially for the fact that you experienced the platform on its heyday.
I would like to add to your list the category "Japan Only" and I definetively would say that "Captain Tsubasa CD" is the best. It's like a soccer game mixed with RPG gameplay, it mimmicks quite well the experience of watching an episode of the anime, and I couldn't tell you how amazed I was discovering a Captain Tsubasa (or "Supercampeones" if you are from Latam like me) game was officially released on the platform
Damn I miss sega, but I do have those same memories that you mentioned x. And thanks for playing the Batman returns CD music at the intro, which is one of my personal favorites to. I remember playing that sewer level over and over again as it was tough as hell. Still play Batman returns CD off and on till this dsy, never gets old
I can't believe you brought up Thunder Strike. Love that game and has a banging soundtrack.
Love your videos, man! Keep 'em coming!
Sega CD was the system that i have the fondest memories of. I actually had all the stuff that is now crazy expensive now and played and beat them all. Its the one thing I honestly wish I had kept all of it.
Lost all my mega drive, mega cd, saturn, psx, dream cast, PS2 stuff... And everything else, in a fire. Emulation is your friend! MEGA cd emulation is almost perfect. You just have to fiddle a bit getting the iso files mounted but it works great and you don't have to spend crazy amounts of money on games you want. There's torrents of literally the entire library for mega drive/mega cd that are easy to get. I wouldn't and couldn't spend hundreds on Snatcher for example!
You imprest me much with this vid!) Very nice top)
Great choices! I really love my Mega CD collection. 👍
I LOVE dark wizard and shining force CD.... absolute gems, awesome vid thanks man!
Great video! I loved the Sega CD Mortal Kombat release, it seemed to be one of the best home ports of the day
I always thought so.
I wouldn't say it was the best. PC was better, but definitely the best on console.
great video yet again. you are doing the lord's work...the sega lord's work.
You've certainly timed this video well what with the recent announcement of the Megadrive Mini 2!
SLX channel consistency of great topics is incredible, in fact it seems impossible that he makes up so many excellent topics and never stops
As long as I have an audience, I’ll keep trying my best.
@@SegaLordX great vid and I appreciate your mention of Ecco, especially in the car. Late 2021 I started driving with the Sega CD game in my car CD player, it sounds fantastic on a car’s speaker system!!
I was actually thinking what is the best fmv game this morning and I think I agree with the choices you presented. Think the genre could still have room to thrive today, that is if done correctly.
I think it can still be a fun genre if it’s presented properly. You really need some decent production values and a gripping story.
Thank you fella, excellent vid! 💯🔥🙏
Awesome list man!
I love the sega cd,my all time fav console. This was a pleasure to watch
Loved this episode. Whould you mind doing it again with the master system, mega drive/genesis, saturn and dreamcast?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
I'm still to this day excited to play new FMV games that come out. I've always loved them for some reason.
Have you ever tried wirehead on Sega cd? Imo fmv hidden gem on the system
I remember my friend had a Sega CD when it was new and we had a blast playing sewer shark, hook, sonic CD, WWF rage in the cage, final fight CD, rise of the dragon, lunar the silver star, shining Force CD, mortal Kombat CD and more.
I loved my Sega CD!!
Seeing this video brings me back to the early days. And I had some of the best games. ( for real though I bought it for Sonic CD did take me a year-and-a-half or longer yes, yes it did.)
Dark wizard, sonic, soul star, snatcher, silphied, and both lunars
Snatcher is one of my all-time faves! So many great memories of playing this one.
I got a MegaCD2 a few months before the Saturn arrived and I loved this extension of the 16bits.
Most of the game you listed I got too and I'd add titles like "Power Monger" (I spent so many hours on that one), "Theme Park", "Prince of Persia", "Formula One World Championship: Beyond the Limit" and "Dune".
This machine had excellent games for its time and Sega could have done great things with it, imagine what a compilation of ports of "Streets of Rage" could have done to the sales.
Fantastic Video! I've own almost all these games.
I loved the SEGA CD. My favorite system of all time. I had a paper route, so I could afford, what was at the time a premium game system. Great 90s memories. I had it plugged into my stereo system, as it also played music CDs.
Let's also talk about the value you got as a pack in! The underrated shooter Sol- Feace, to show off the system's speed and sound. Sherlock Holmes to show off the FMV. And a 4-in-1 Sega Classics disc (Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, Columns) One of the best system pack ins imho! A great range of titles. Great vid SLX
Snatcher is such a good game. You can’t help but play Snatcher and Policenauts and start to lament that Kojima got so hung up on MGS for nearly two decades.
Great video as always. When I saw that you picked Silpheed for your best graphics, I started laughing. I used to show it off as graphical show piece on my Sega CD. It was like Sega's best competitor to Star Fox (which looked amazing at the time). I lot of awesome choices overall.
Yup. I showed Silpheed to everyone that would watch.
Oh man, that brings me back such great old souvenirs! I spent hours playing awesome games like Night Trap (writing lists of room to finish the game). Also Double Switch, Ground Zero Texas, Dune (with voices. I was in French) World War 3 (super awesome). I had a version called CD X, which was a compact version of the Genesis, and Sega CD together.
Rise of the dragon: "Everybody calls me: THE JAKE!", "No weapon detected. You're clean. Go on in"
I had both Road Avenger and Night Trap and I loved them both, I own NightTrap now on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. It does have replay value and is harder to keep up with all the rooms, as a kid I had mastered it, but now I keep missing those guys. I loved my Sega CD.
I loved my Sega CD! I'm happy to see that many of the games I owned back then made the list! I was one of those people that loved the FMV games, but I also had such a great time playing everything else as well! I will never forget that Christmas morning when my brother and I first witnessed the intro to Sewer Shark, some great memories were had! SEGA!
YESSS!!! I was just hoping for some fresh Sega CD content to watch. Thanks Sega Lord X.
My pleasure. Hope you enjoyed it.
Great video! I LOVE the SEGA CD. I agree with a lot on this list.
Thanks for watching.
Glad you mentioned Thunderhawk, game was a technical marvel, and a lot of fun to play.
Sewer rats was the only game I played on this platform (I still think it's cool too).
This video will be my go to game choices.
Excellent job highlighting this excellent platform 👏 👍 👌 😊
I knew immediately what would be the winner of the sprite scaling category. Your love for Batman Returns is very apparent and it does look like and incredible game. I'm glad that Sonic CD is on Steam so that I can enjoy it. You've talked about it a lot and when I saw it was available on Steam I grabbed it. This is a very good list you've made. Your love for Sega and the positive outlook towards it's vast library of games is great. If someone like you had been writing game reviews back in the 90's I think Sega would have had a better shot.
I try to make genuine content about how these games made me feel. It’s nice to see people appreciate that.
Your content is so good I can sleep better at night.
I never get tired of your intro and snesdrunks and console wars intro
