How do you say CD-ROM2?

[Necromancer]

who does that?

People who need to be slapped.

I usually say "CD-Rom Two", but often called it "squared" back in the day, like "Super CD-ROM squared system".

For years everyone online called Super CD games "SCD" and often "SCD" was used to label any PCE CD game. Its weird seeing people use "SCD" nowadays when refering to Sega-CD games.

Yeah, those sega bastards stole our acronym. Why the hell aren't they using SGCD or even better yet GCD (like MCD that the non US regions)? Genesis fans are funny, they'll write SCD or Sega CD but they won't write SMS or Sega Master System - just MS. But then again, 90% of the Genesis fans aren't SMS fans (they don't call it smspower for nothing, boys). I guess some people are too good for NES/SMS.

Bah! Let them have it. We all know what the real SCD is.

What? Really? That's just plain weird.

When referring to the CD games in The Turbo World, I usually Say CD games, like CD or Super CD, or at times ACD.

Mostly just seperate them by Chip Games or CD Games.


And Sega CD is pronounced- Say Guh SEEDEE.   Anyone sayng SCD for Sega CD needs to die

When referring to the Sega CD, I almost always type out "Sega CD" since not typing 3 measly letters doesn't save much time or effort.  When referring to the PCE or TurboGrafx, I usually type TG-CD, TG-16 CD-ROM, PCE-CD and the like.  I also call the SMS an SMS, unless I spell out "Master System".  I'm usually not one to overly abbreviate since I have the power, the ability, the effort and the manliness to type things out... on most occasions.

If someone typed "SGCD" I would think "SuperGrafx CD".  MCD works great in the areas where it is called the Mega CD, but in the US it is called the Sega CD, not the Genesis CD.  That's why many type out "SCD".  No matter what, nobody owns the acronym, so it doesn't legitimately belong to one system or the other.  Getting upset about it is pretty silly.  I rarely say "Super CD".  I just refer to Turbo/PCE CD games as CD games since I can play them all, and it is worthless to distinguish unless it is an Arcade Card game and I have to switch cards.

too bad they don't exist.

Thats what I thought when I first saw it.

I also say "Megadrive/Mega-CD" when talking about japanese Megadrive stuff and "Genesis/Sega-CD" when talking about non-japanese Sega 16-bit products.

[Joe Redifer]

What do you say when talking about European Sega 16-bit products?

[Black Tiger]

What do you say when talking about European Sega 16-bit products?

I make some awkward label like "euro" MD or something. But I've found that I rarely need to make the distinction and instead need to make the effort to describe japanese MD stuff as such in discussions that involve many europeans (like on Sega-16).

 That's 'cause you're an SMS fan. Lot of Genesis fans don't respect Sega's 8bit roots.

 Hmm.. SGCD/SuperGrafx CD. I like that sound of that. But yeah, it was more of a joke. I figured starting off the response with "Yeah, those sega bastards" was a good indicator
