Having owned allot of this stuff back in the day. Your videos always give me weird mixed feelings of nostalgia and regret for selling off my collection several years ago. Thanks for the content!
I sold a copy of Deep Fear on the Saturn for £38 a few years ago. DAMN!
Imagine if you had all that money back .. tisk tisk
This guy is just always beaming a smile. I can't imagine that he has ever frowned.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s why he’s immortal

SEGA CD has some awesome stuff I feel like the Saturn and CD need more love.
The Saturn has plenty of Love, but the CD is underrated.
They should've just released it as the sega neptune
@@Theshark15z This. Everyone loves the saturn, CD gets flak for the FMV games which weren't even the majority of the library.
This is insane, I remember stores couldnt give these away if they wanted too. I remember seeing a lot of these game for .99 each at the bargain basket
Yeah before the big retro game blow up I remember getting sega cd, 32x consoles for $10. turbo grafx and master systems for $15, etc.
It’s true. I remember seeing piles of these at the toy and games shops when I was a kid.
If only we weren't noobs at collecting back then
I remember certain games always had value, like Sonic CD for example, I remember back when nobody wanted Sega CD, that game would be like 50$, this was around 2002-2005?
@@maxxdahl6062 I remember way back in the day, you could get a 32x complete in box for 50$, I'm pretty sure it only doubled in price, I know it's cheap because theres no good games on it, however there is one good game on 32x however, which is Colibri
Snatcher is probably the best game ever made of all time. I'd recommend Panic! (insane cartoon puzzle game) and Soul Star doesn't get nearly enough love. It was like Star Fox before Star Fox.
John Riggs: RIGG'd Games also you can't forget Popful Mail!
Dude,Soulstar came out in 1994/1995 IIRC so it's more like a sprite-based Star Fox.
I never played it buy always wanted to. Why wasn't taht game re-released or remade? Did they lose the code or something?
Yes Snatcher is awesome - would be nice if someone made an updated version of it or an official sequel but I guess it will never happen sadly
Joel Monteiro Guess who has the IP rights to Core Design games? Square-Enix.
"Games you should get day 1" ... *shows $4000 worth of games*
:|
Al ask him if he can give us free games
Well, you get those on day 1 and then save up a few years for the next batch ;-)
Snatcher alone goes for $1000 these days.... Basically they're suggesting that folks go out and download it ;-)
That Mega SD flashcart looking good 😂
haha
One thing I always recommend for the Sega CD/Mega CD is to replace the power supplies with a modern all-in-one version from a company like retrogamesupply.com. They make modern laptop-style power supplies for various consoles which run off a single mains plug, and have versions that will work on any combination of Sega Genesis/Sega CD and or 32X. And as the power supplies are laptop-style, they'll work in any region - you just need an appropriate mains to figure-eight style cable, like you'll find on almost any printer, the PS3 slim, etc.
I think the reason why Sega CD is finally catching on is because it was always a good system, but it had a bad stigma for so long for it's FMV library, which was actually pretty minimal. Once you know which games to weed out, the Sega CD is amazing to collect for.
It's also been just the right of time (20 years) for certain people to start looking back on it as a nostalgic artifact from their childhood but now actually be able to afford the system. This happened to me with Sega Saturn and Dreamcast a few years back where I started collecting for them; - systems I never got as a kid because well.. I already had a 'Sega' and apparently didn't need another one plus it was too expensive back then.
There always were good games for sure, yet there has always been this stigma towards the Mega CD that you sometimes see. I honestly think it's more the poor marketing that failed the system and resentment towards Sega flooding the market in the late 90s than actually having a poor library (unlike the early US library of Saturn games which seemed to completely miss the point of the console's potential)
Neil Purcell but the non FMV games rarely good either.
I just can't see the point in Sega CD, even now. The CD rom didn't really add anything other than cutscenes and better sound. It just isn't worth it. Think about the cutscenes that are in modern games, no one ever actually watches them, we just skip through because they are annoying. As for the sound the megadrive already had awesome FM sound so sampled music whilst cool isn't really that much of an upgrade, unless you're an audio nerd.
@@purrbox7514 sprite scaling and other effects, it didn't just add audio and cutscenes lol, games like soulstar would be impossible on the base genesis
@@purrbox7514 and some of us do watch cutscenes bud, speak for yourself, if you have no care for a games lore that's fine but that doesn't apply too everyone
Road Rash on the Sega Saturn actually has Soundgarden's music video on it!
I recommend the Japanese 🇯🇵 version of Final Fight on the Sega CD.It Is uncensored like the arcade.Poison & Roxy look exactly as they do in the arcade.
The Amazing Spider-Man Vs The Kingpin was my fave Sega CD title
I love that he gives Dark Wizard the credit it deserves. I have spent HUNDREDS of hours playing that game over the years. The music is absolutely gorgeous and doesn't get tedious. I like playing Amon the best :D
I remember this game. 10 out of 10. Wow. Memories.
I bought Dark wizard in around 94 and from a video rental place, and it was fantastic.
For me the model one genesis with the model one sega cd looks the best
Yeah, I always thought the model one's together looked like something out of an 80's cyberpunk movie which is awesome.
Rock Man
With a 32X it became Sega's Tower of Power.
It looked especially amazing with a game genie, sonic and knuckles, and one of those big ea cartridges.
Maybe put a second 32x on it for no particular reason except to look stupid.
Absoulutely. Always hated the model 2 Genesis.
I Had the CDX when i was a kid; moved a few times, grew up, moved out, mvoed moved moved...
no idea whatever happened to it, havent seen it in probably 20 years.
It died a brutal death, so very sorry
thanks for giving the Sega CD some love - one of my favorite consoles! Here is a few titles I would recommend:
Wolfchild
Android Assault
Silpheed
Batman Returns
Hook
Space Adventure Cobra
Popful Mail
Dungeon Explorer
My JVC x'eye is now on its way. Thanks Mr. Metal and John!
MJR, you had to ask what Final Fight was?! C'mon, brah!
Really enjoyed the info and editing in this video. I'm also extremely jealous of some of those Sega CD games.
I don't really play many 2D brawlers or fighters... They didn't really come out on PC back in the 90s.
MetalJesusRocks I hear ya. I played all of the Sierra games back in the day on my family's IBM PS/2. Final Fight was a staple in nearly every arcade I went into when I was a kid.
MetalJesusRocks dont have a sega cd yet but u got me back in to collecting for psone and gameboy
MongolianCh0p I remember playing Bad Street Brawler CGA style for DOS. It was awful
He also asked where he was at the beginning of the video, and I'm pretty sure he actually sort of knew.
A couple of years back I bought a Sega Genesis box o stuff from Craigslist for $100 - in it came 2 Sega Genesis consoles (one a model 1 non TMSS, one a model 2), a pair of Sega CDs (one model one with the tray, one model 2 with the lid, and the clip on addition/extension that sits under the model 1) about 15 Sega CD games, menacer lightgun, justifier lightgun, a couple six button controllers and a couple 3 button controllers, all the hookups, AND a 32x with adapter plates etc and all hookups including the Genesis 1 conversion cable for 32x. Was pretty pleased with that score!
🤣🤣
Hey, your copy of Road Rash CD is apparently NHL '98 in disguise.
NHL '98 for Sega Saturn no less....lol.
Guerilla Grue Plays the games were all marked 99 cents clearance, I swapped cases
lol. I saw that and I thought you were swapping price tags. It was nice of them to let you swap cases, even my local GameStop has let me do that a few times.
You pretty much have to swap Sega CD, Saturn, and early PS1 long box cases. Unfortunately, they are notoriously easy to crack, and the hinges, if not careful, can break too. Unlike normal CD cases where you can go to Walmart or Target and get replacements to make them look almost brand new, those longbox cases are pretty much non existent unless you were to raids Sega's warehouse. I am currently a very late to the game Saturn & Sega CD collector and I found several rare games recently where the cases needed to be swapped to look nice. It's really your only option if you care about original packaging.
I do games ya lets talk about stealing ! Your all so cool ! Steal steal steal ! You should have been arrested
I loved my Sega CD when I was a kid, Lunar: The Silver Star and Vay were great RPGs!
A sealed copy of Snatcher for only $25! Mother *expletive deleted*
That's what *I said* :)
He paid even less than the 25 for it! I wish I walked into a pawn shop and saw Snatcher open or sealed for less than 50 bucks...
I had a copy of Power Blade 2 (NES) for about 36 cents (Goodwill, 2004.) He still has me beat by rarity (A SEALED COPY?) by a wide margin.
@@101Volts i have a complete pb2 as well. Part of me wishes it was sealed, part of me thinks getting to play it as a kid was worth it.
@@nyastclair8174 The best way is to buy the game when it first arrived at the store, play it, enjoy it, keep it for twenty plus years and realise what's old is new again.
You can tell Jon is such a nice dude. Thanks for having him on the channel to share all this interesting info!
I got into the SEGA CD on the ground floor luckily, and I still have my original top loader from '93; still works too (amazingly). I've semi-retired it to preserve it though, so I use a JVC X'Eye as my workhorse system. If you can find one, I highly recommend it. No issues playing burned games, and it has the best sound output of all SEGA Genesis/CD setups. Pricey but practical. Can't fault John Hancock's selections; but I'd add Eternal Champions, Batman Returns, Silpheed and Mortal Kombat to the list if you're starting out. Mortal Kombat gets a lot of flak for load times, but it's the best 16-bit version of the game. Enjoyed the video Metal! 🤘
I realize this was 2 years ago, but have you ever checked how much the X'Eye is to fix? Because as you mentioned, it is expensive. I would probably go the other way and retire the X'Eye since it is rare, parts may be hard to come by and it may be hard to fix and run the top-loader into the ground since they are the cheapest of all the Sega CDs, the easiest to fix, etc.
I had a model 2 top loader back in the day, one friend of mine had the model 1 tray loader, then my other friend had a CDX.
The way John smiles cracks me up.
That's a really cool Altered Beast hat.
kthanxie dig it
Thank you for this guide. Just added 3 repros to my collection
John is always great to talk to when he comes up to Vancouver for the expo, super friendly, humble and always willing to talk about games, obscure stuff and Star Wars.
Nice pick with Dark Wizard. That game is great and also has a spectacular soundtrack with separate themes for each character.
"Lords of Thunder....and rock n' roll!!!"
Great Kiss reference!!!
Lunar, Dark Wizard, Snatcher, Shining Force... I did not expect such things from this man.
John must have swapped the Sega CD case on Road Rash as it was priced for Sega Saturn's NHL '98...
AWESOME! I am proud to say I own most of those games mentioned :) I would also have to recommend: Pitfall for Sega CD, Demolition Man, BC Racers, Slipheed and Ecco The Dolphin 1&2 (AMAZING soundtrack) Popful Mail, Soul Star, NHL 94,Sewer Shark, Tomcat Alley, and Night Trap 32X/Sega CD. There are still many, many more great games for the system. HIGHLY underrated. Nice to see the system is finally getting some respect.
surprised you didn't know about Final Fight.
that is one of my all time favourites, and quite a popular game over here when was out.
hope you had a little game of it on the Mega-CD after the video and got to enjoy it
always loved the look of Mega-CD, but i much prefer the original Megadrive and Mega-CD mk1 over the mk2 versions myself
I’m also from Redding, and when John brought up a place that rented games by the hour it brought back memories. It was like an arcade but with consoles setup. They had every console and a huge library of games. So you could sit down and play a ton of different games on consoles that you didn’t own. Good times.
Wow! Some Dark Wizard love, I've loved it since the summer of 1997 when I first played it. It's why I still have a Sega CD hooked up! It's great! (The only game I went after a second copy of)
Beat'em up is now brawler...I need to update myself....
holy shit... a SEALED copy of SNATCHER?
would easily go for 10k today
@@kelley2098 as of today on pricecharting.com a sealed copy is $1261 so not even close to 10k
@@harleymoody34 That's for complete in box. Factory sealed is a much more valuable item.
EDIT: I am completely wrong, I just checked the price chart and yeah, new is $1261.
@@METATRONmusic I mean that's still a lot though
@@harleymoody34 Complete nice copies go for 1k-1.5k. A sealed copy would go for exponentially more.
a few reasons:
price charts doesn't take into account condition
sales of sealed copies are rare and go back into the past when games were cheaper
price charts often accidentally allows cibs into sold listings, I have seen it tons of times
games are getting more expensive on the daily.
the price can basically be decided by the seller when theres probably less than 100 sealed copies in existance.
bonus-pricecharts doesn't take into account extra paperwork like warranty cards
You will never see a sealed snatcher like Johns go for 1.2k I would expect 2.5k+ and due to how much this game is revered it'll sell for way more.
I've sold a few grails in my time collecting and have been hit with the "buuuUUt PriCeChartS saYS tHis". Its just not the case, they are worth more, I end up selling them for way more than price charts value. For example Bucky O' hare NES fully CIB mint pricecharts says 495 CAD I sold it for 1400 CAD with all the paperwork
Whoa! John Hancock traveled forward and time and became a video game collector!
I had a JVC X-eye and loved it. The oldest game I still own is Vay. Sega CD introduced me to Working Designs games and I loved all those back then.
I've wanted a Sega CD since I was 12 years old. now I'm 38 and it's still on my Christmas list.lol
Road Avenger
Soulstar
Wolfchild
Sol-Feace
AH3 Thunderstrike
...are a few of my favs. \m/.
You forgot the JVC X'Eye.
The only heavy hitters that I have on the Sega CD are Snatcher, Shining Force CD, Popful Mail, Vay, Dark Wizard, and Robo Aleste. I really wish I was collecting for it back when it came out :/
The Sega CD had so much potential. I still own several of the games for that system. I gave my Snatcher copy to a friend of mine a couple of years ago; crazy how much that game goes for now.
I can't tell half the time if metal Jesus is intentionally asking the basic questions for the crowd or it's because he genuinely doesn't know
That altered beast hat is super cool!
Love the long videos, you should do more longer ones.
My friday videos are usually longer like this. The tuesday videos are Bonus.
You forgot the JVC X'Eye. The best SegaCD and the best Sega Genesis console ever... at the same time !!
I remember playing Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. One of the favorites of mine of all time
I had the Multi Mega and my 32X was working perfectly with it.
My CDX works perfectly with the 32X!
It does work with the 32x, Sega just couldn't secure fcc approval, so they said it was incompatible . The worst that happens is that the lid doesn't open all the way.
Mine wants to work with it and it tries but never gets past the Sega info screen that shows just before the game boots up (that quick 1/2 a second screen before the Sega logo) with my CDX.. Not sure what is but I have heard that some do, and some don't... Can anyone confirm this? maybe my unit is bad?
I would start by cleaning the connector on the 32X. Have you tried the unit on another system to see if it works there?
Yea, apparently not all models of the Multi Mega are compatible with the 32X. Just like some versions of the Game Gear are not compatible with the TV tuner.
CDX is compatible with the 32X, but there is a special 32X base you had to get to allow the CD cover to open without detaching the 32X. I believe there is even a diagram in the 32X manual that shows the different configurations.
No mention of JVC X'Eye or did I miss it?
Also 32X works great with the CDX.
i was thinking the exact same thing, i love my X'Eye, with the JVC controller
@@zachmcdowell2634 same, it's so quiet.
Rewatching this for the first time in years. The thing I like most is the long-shots of the hardware. UA-camrs of 2022, take note - it's OK to keep focused on a still for longer than two seconds. It's easier than us hitting pause to get a better look and it makes editing easier for you as well.
Road Rash was so much better on the 3D0. great game
These buying guide videos you do are some of the best, entertaining and informative on UA-cam Mr Jesus. I can watch them all through over and over!
....And rampantly search on eBay as you go through it all!
Great video. I really like John Hancock and the Mega cd too! I do have quite a few titles, including some American imports. Its just a shame that a lot of the games are very expensive nowadays.
When Metal Jesus does a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and 32x Buying Guide, my life will be complete
Third World War was one of my favorites for the system.
For me this is such a nostalgia ride. I myself and my friends used to play Sega Megadrive back in the day. In Europe Sega was in many cases the superior system with it's broad variety of games.
But few ever owned a Mega Cd or Sega Cd. It's a obscure system with a mysterious aura. There a lot of good games though. Some day I will play Shining Force CD or the Lunar games........
Ohh and what a huge difference in graphics when comparing Road Rash on Mega Cd and Playstation. That tells a lot about how fast the tecnology improved back then......
Thanks John
/Sega Fan boy
Oh, and warning to new collectors: A Keio Flying Squadron sells on eBay for about $1100-$1200, so maybe expect to leave that one off your lists.
Or...you could emulate it... until it's released on a virtual console or game compilation.
Yeah, but we're collectors. You know how we are. Really, we could emulate almost every retro system and game out there, but we love having the original versions. They make our shelves pretty :-D
Hence the reason why I tell everybody to get out there right NOW and pick up PS2, XBOX, PSP, Wii and Vita games... 10 years from now we'll all be kicking ourselves if we don't....
MetalJesusRocks Agreed, especially about the Vita.
Fun fact for Keio Flying Squadron. They actually released a demo in Europe. Crazy thing about the demo, JVC left the level select code leaving the full game accessible. It comes up on ebay from time to time for about $40. So if you have a Mega Everdrive, or a way to region free your console, you can technically have a physical copy of the game. :)
I rented that exact copy of Out Of This World / Heart Of The Alien (Along with a player) a few times when I lived in Newport as a kid- damn fun game!
Awww, no love for the JVC X-Eye?
i know thats qwhat i was saying look at my comments lol
i love jvc xeye
That thing is the bomb...hard to find tho.
Hey a very good friend of mine is also from redding California. I'm all the way in uk but I love your videos. Nothing like sega to bring back my childhood. Thanks guys.
I own a Sega CDX and I'm very satisfied with it. 😉
CDX FTW!
Kelly Herbert. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CDX!
kikayei I just picked one up not long ago, and it's my favorite retro purchase I made. A bit pricey but so worth it imo.
kikayei I had a CDX a long time ago. Should have kept it. Had the games that made having it worth it, like Lunar The Silver Star and Eternal Blue.
john tracy. Duuuuuude, I feel your pain of regret. I still have those games you mentioned. 😉
I have been making lists of the best games on every retro system in the hopes of collecting them. Your buying guides are helping a TON! Keep up the good work!
My 32x works fine with my cdx
When it comes to Sega CD games, the ones I'd include on that list are:
Silpheed - amazing shooter game
Stellar Fire - intro by Michael Dorn
Lunar: The Silver Star
Sol-Feace
Popful Mail
JVC x'eye?
Was just gonna say this. Not even a mention?!?
budz2355 Yeah... I was pretty surprised there wasn't even a mention of the x'eye/wondermega if only because Hancock is such a well known Sega fanatic... Whatever I suppose.
I still have my original x'eye! works great still. I was saddened by no mention
It's the most reliable Sega CD too, and can also use the 32x, you just have to make some adjustments to get it on lol
@@ZEROthefirst Eh. I'd put a Model 2 up t here with the X'eye.
leave me in the room of doom with a bong, an eighth, doritos and mountain dew. do not disturb.
Eternal Champions and Flashback were good SegaCD games too.
starsiegeplayer I could never get into flashback
I just had the model 2 genesis/model 2 cd/32x set up myself. Friend of mine in school had the CDX. But I guess I had the last laugh as my set up lasted longer.
Dont forget popful mail, awesome game!
Met Reggie and metal jesus at the PDX Retro Gaming Expo today... Reggie was way cool and friendly, apparently, jesus thinks he's the real Jesus because he could barely be bothered to acknowledge a fan telling him he liked his channel. Oh well. Got some good games so at least that part of it was worth it.
nutz4040 I got the same feeling.
Odd, he doesn't seem like he'd be like that at all.
Soup or Nintendo? I didn't think so either, then I bumped into him randomly and said hi and what not and he just gave the "uh huh thanks" and walked away. Reggie struck up a conversation with me over a game he could see in my bag. Talked to him for a few minutes.
I would feel very uncomfortable if some random nigga came up to me and made me aware of my clout
Do you realize how backwards your words truly are? Not to get all religious on you, but uhm, the real Jesus went out of his way to speak to everyone.
I remember seeing Snatcher and Keio for sale at my local rental store back in the early 90's for like $10 each. They just sat there for years, and I passed on them like an IDIOT. Now I actually want to add games to my Sega CD collection and cry seeing the prices these games go for now.
Would love to see a Sega Saturn buying guide.
Funny you should mention that... ;)
MetalJesusRocks Oh?! ^-^
Silpheed is a spectacular shooter with a very intelligent use of the FMV for the backgrounds
Not only in Europe called Mega, but also in Brazil.
Interesting. It's called Mega everywhere actually including Japan. Wiki says it was only called Sega CD in North America and Brazil which might be a mistake.
Here we had the two names referring to the CD. In the video game is called Mega Drive.
chakanbhz Its called mega drive and mega CD every where except NA
chakanbhz Oh and in Nigeria for some reason they had both Mega cd and Sega cd and genesis and mega drive
I had my SEGA CD vs 20+ years , lens still works. Bought a 2nd Sega CD a decade ago, blew the fuse on it trying to hook a universal adapter to it. Fixing the fuse on that one was pretty easy, I use that one with my Model 1 HDG Genesis.
what about the jvc xeye that's a BIG one missing
John Hancock is such a happy guy, I love it.
The most reliable one of all is missing the X-eye.
WraithofWor I have it but stored away
I kinda figured you did somewhere...lol
Lunar-Silver Star blew me and my brother's mind when the dragon began to speak. Always will remember that day. Thank you Blockbuster for renting out memories.
you forgot about the JVC X'EYE..
I bought a Sega Mega CD in 1994 and had a few games including Earthworm Jim and Double Switch. It was way ahead of it's time to show actual actors and real video footage on a game, but obviously lacked some in game continuity. Over all I loved it at the time and was very impressed by it. I was 19 at the time I bought this!! Strange to see how my younger years are now video game nostalgia. Man I feel old!!
"I prefer horizontal."
I think this is my new favorite UA-cam channel. I love your buying guide videos. I don't have much interest in buying most of these consoles, but the videos are well done and definitely informative. Keep making great videos.
Sega CD buying guide. Step 1) Sell your house. You'll need the money.
sadly too true lol
sadly too true lol
It's interesting that you (along with many others) bring this up. I mean, these are really cool buying guides from people who know what they're talking about, but when it comes to the games especially, they're like "these are games we recommend you get day one," and many of them turn out to be super expensive and/or really rare. Sure they're good but buying them right off the bat seems suggesting too much.
Unless you're a super hardcore collector who needs to be %100 original, just get custom reproductions of the super expensive games. People mock them up to look almost like the real thing, case, manual, and all.
Besides, being discs, not cartridges, I would be afraid of accidentally scratching an expensive disc, just by using it. lol.
Step 2) Find a copy of Snatcher.
Been rocking my Sega CDX for years!

You gotta have Popful Mail for SEGA CD. Great gameplay, awesome soundtrack, whacky characters, and actually very solid voice acting. definitely a must play for the system.
Did you ever have the JVC X'Eye? It was the same thing and idea as the CD-X, but was bigger.
"I kept my 99 cent price sticker on it." I like how it was also a 99 cent sticker for NHL '98 haha
haha "buyers guide"in 2016! Im happy i collected in the early 2000s! The shit was dirt cheap back then! Now i wouldn start a Sega/Mega CD Colection! 🤔
That's what's been holding me back. I have some of the must have games from the early Ebay days, but no way would I recommend starting now.
datamanmachine I mean you could apply that statement to so many platforms, as buying games for older systems is just more difficult overall due to just more people aware of the market, alongside other reasons.
Yeah... I have a nice collection of burnt cdrs in a folder but it's hard to get nice shiny copies for the shelf. They fit well with the Saturn games.
Recently bought a Megadrive that plays Sega CD games without the CD addon, and Shining Force CD really got me into the series, it's a great strategy RPG game, I usually don't play RPG games but I got really hooked on that game, it made me start playing Shining Force 3 as well.
No JVC X'Eye (WonderMega) love?
A few good ones I enjoyed on Sega CD:
Amazing Spiderman
Batman Returns
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
Dark Wizard
Demolition Man
Dune
Earthworm Jim
Ecco the Dolphin
Final Fight
Flashback The Quest for Identity
Ground Zero Texas
Keio Flying Squadron
Lunar the Silver Star
Mad Dog McCree
Megarace
Mickey Mania
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Mortal Kombat
Night Trap
Panic!
Popful Mail
Radical Rex
Rise of the Dragon
Road Rash
Secret of Monkey Island
Shining Force CD
Silpheed
Snatcher
Sonic CD
Soul Star
Star Wars Rebel Assault
Syndicate
Terminator
Third World War
Vay
i would definitely recommend DUNE the original :D
Ground Zero Texas was AMAZING when it came out. But my favorite Sega cd games were double switch, Dracula Unleashed & Batman and Robin.
No mention of sewer shark!?!?
Sewer Shark while a decent title, but is not a recommended experience on Mega-CD. Despite it being my favorite game console of all time, but some games are just a little above it's pay-grade...because 3DO! :-)
That's where you play Sewer Shark, should you want to :-)
So happy to see Lunar on here, but should have added Lunar 2 too!
