I think that childhood nostalgia is the only excuse for liking it. that’s how i feel about the atari 5200. everyone hates it but it was my first game system so it will always be one of my favorites no matter how bad the controllers are.
This is why I have the mega everdrive pro for my model 1 genesis and it supports sega cd without the actual attachment and I’ve never owned a Sega cd and it gives me a chance to experience these rare expensive titles for free without investing money in them and takes up less space and don’t have to worry about clutters especially since I have a lots of retro consoles and they all use flash carts and odes and I’m happy.
Good grief. Collecting today is impossible. I was lucky enough to grow up when this stuff NIB old stock was dirt cheap on eBay so I amassed a huge collection of Sega stuff, but there's no way I could do it today with these prices. Insane.
I tried going through Popful recently, it was so hard I ended up stopping. One game I regret not beating. I guess I should play the easier Japanese version
So many legendary games for such a short lifespan. It's such a shame that Sega couldn't figure out how to right the ship after the acrimony between the American and Japanese divisions.
Also if any other Sega CD folks remember an SRPG with vampires, werewolves, and demons fighting you'll help a weird memory hole I can't seem to track down. I only rented it once and have never been able to remember the name.
