Back when CD based systems were just arriving did you use it also for Audio CDs?

Oh and I guess karaoke for any Asian out there.

While I didn’t do this when CDs were current, it weirdly has come full circle to where now on the rare occasion I do have a CD I want to play, one of my retro systems does the honors. They’re the only players I’ve got ready to use.

I do karaoke often and I use it to play CDs because why the hell not?
For karaoke, I either play them on my Sega CD, Sega Saturn, PC Engine CD or 3DO.

When I wanna have a karaoke party with my friends somewhere else, I bring my RGB-modded PC Engine briefcase and some karaoke CDs.
It's high quality, we can use CDs, and it looks really stylish.
But at home, I use any of my consoles that support CD+G.

A fun one is with singing entire albums of Taylor Swift on karaoke on my consoles.
I honour myself with a Big Boss ranking whenever I get all the lyrics right (and I almost always do).

>>5050195
This, though I also watch VCDs on the Saturn as well.
I do have some VCDs from Asia.

>> No.5050245

>Taylor Swift Karaoke albums
I keep seeing them in record stores here and they are CD+G + DVD combo packs.
I really wanna try out the CD+G karaoke parts but I'm not sure if DVD players (particularly cheap Chinese models from the 2010s) support CD+G.
I do have a Model 1 Sega Genesis but I don't have an AV cable, let alone the Sega CD add-on.

I do have a CD-R of Snatcher for it, but I just play it on my laptop on an emulator.

The game had an audio CD mode if you turned the PSX on with the lid open. I tried listening to it while doing my homework but my dad and older brother yelled at me to stop listening to video game music.

Even today in my own home I feel the shame while listening to game OSTs.

My sega CD was the first cd player in our home. My parents still had shelves of vinyl & casettes in the living room, and my older brother had a decent older ghetto blaster cassette player. I had a cheap little portable cassette player. The firsts CD audio I ever listened to in my own home was "Fire" by Jimi hendrix because it came with the sega cd.

I didn't get a sony discman until 1995.

Was in like 5th grade or something when my bro in law had a sega cd. Never knew anyone else that had one at that point (like 1992). They only ever used it to play music CDs and all his genesis games were football, golf, racing games. I dont think he even knew it could play games

Not even close. A good sony CD player cost about $150 in 1991. When sega CD arrived in north America at the end of 1992 you could get a cd player for $99 compared to the $299 asking price of the sega unit.

I remember getting into music in summer of 1999 but not having a cd player. My parents had one in the living room but they would have hated/not allowed me to listen to anything I wanted at the time. I had only bought Nintendo consoles up to that point and was hoping to use the Dreamcast as my first cd player but didn't want to wait another 4 months for it to come out.

Honestly though unless you had a good sound system too I thought it sounded like shit coming out of the TV speakers. You'd hear the ringing sound from the CRT TV too unless you really cranked the volume which I couldn't do considering most of my albums were parental advisory ones. I eventually bit the bullet and spent $40 on a used portable cd player boombox at a pawn shop. Not a bad deal back then.

It's an official model released in Hong Kong with built in VCD functionality most likely due to how common the format was over there. It also had a dual voltage PSU so accepts 100v to 240v as I assume it was intended for multiple regions and was a similar white color to that of the PSOne Slim model, though they can yellow horribly. Just looking for a bare tidy console at the moment.

Slightly off topic but this was my first real CD player aside from cd rom drives in the computer. I think I got this in 1998. We had no cd based game systems until we got the ps2 in 2002
