hi

>>11236272
SEGA CD is unironically my favorite system. 32X also has fully playable and fully 3D Virtua Fighter 1 if you can't get the Saturn version to run, plus Virtua Racing Deluxe, Knuckles Chaotix, Shadow Squadron, Darxide, near arcade perfect After Burner and Space Harrier. Some people also really like Tempo and Kolibri.

Not shown is also strategy games like Dark Wizard and Shining Force CD, as well as JP exclusives like Ninjawarriors, Night Striker, and Shin Megami Tensei.

Sega had a bunch of potential. Surprised they quit

Do Sega CDs suffer from reliability issues?
>inb4 3rd worlder telling me to emulate
I already do.

Mega SD or Mega Everdrive Pro is a better option in general, allegedly you can also get the discs to boot on some modded original Xbox consoles. There's also the Genesis Mini which you can add SEGA CD and 32X games to and Genesis Mini 2 which has some SCD games built in, still emulation obviously but cheaper than an original unit

>lords of thunder
Not an exclusive. Also, the Turbografx16 version is better.

>>11237452
what are the differences though
im not good enough at the game to notice

>>11237941
Not him but it's very minor. The Turbo version is a little harder and you can hear more of the sound effects, palette is maybe slightly different and the soundtrack is a little different (personally I prefer the SEGA CD version)

I feel like the game being on another very obscure platform shouldn't detract from it being on SEGA CD. It still rocks on both

>>11237941
>>11237961
Turbo version is much harder. I don't normally care about this but the Sega CD game is extremely easy even on the highest setting. Way too easy.
A nice thing about Sega CD is that you can use the mixer cable to crank up the CD music by lowering the Genesis SFX.

>>11236272
32x was based as hell if you got it on clearance like most people. There aren't a lot of games for it but almost all of them are great.

>does a 50 year old cd player break sometimes?
what the fuck anon

>>11238019
30*
They are getting up there though

>>11238019
My old $20 portable walmart CD player from ages past still works. It's not as old as a Sega CD, but hey.

>>11237416
If you were to buy one, it's definitely worth disassembling and checking for faulty components like capacitors and re-lubricating the CD drive mechanism.

>>11237416
The model 2's are pretty reliable. It's the model 1's that are all going to need recapped.

>>11237092
WHO IS THIS NIGGA

>>11238958
They're all shitty surface-mounted caps, too. It takes a long time recapping both boards, but it's well worth

>>11239057
I have two Jap Model 1 Mega CDs that need recapped. I have a Jap Model 2 and a NA Model 2 that both work just fine.

>>11239092
It's just an exercise in patience, the worst thing you can do is brute-force it and tear out the pads.
