Just played Lords Of Thunder for the sega cd ...

[ParanoiaDragon]

Black Hole Assault!!  Kidding, you can just play the Turbo version, I don't recall much different, even then, it's nothing special IIRC.  The Sega CD is handy for Piel Solar if you have a version with the cd. If you like the Chuck Rock's, then both are probably the best versions to get, atleast for the music, Earnest Evans(if that's you're bad, I like the cd version best from what little I've played of it), Earthworm Jim(best console version possibly aside from the one on PSN).

[MrFlutterPie]

I would recommend:

Terminator
Final Fight
Lethal Enforcers 1&2

[Tatsujin]

Bari arms is a real good shewty. Has kinda the turbo style.

[Emerald Rocker]

Android Assault (aka Bari-Arm) --- cool shooter with neat visuals and music
Dark Wizard --- F YEAH DARK WIZARD
Final Fight CD --- if you have any love for Final Fight, love this version with a great T's Music soundtrack
Lunar and Lunar 2 --- waaaaaay better than the PSX versions, seriously, F those screwed-up ports
AH-3 Thunderstrike --- super-fun helicopter shooting
Terminator --- worth it for the music alone.  Tommy Tallarico is a genius, and this disc is proof
Road Avenger --- a Dragon's Lair style game with extra added awesome
Time Gal --- see above re: Road Avenger, although maybe just a wee bit less awesome
Shining Force CD --- if you enjoy straight-up SRPG battles, this is cool.  No towns
Silpheed --- what a ride!  Back when it came out, people passed it off as "gimmicky" in comparison to Star Fox, but now it rules

[TR0N]

Id recommend keio flying squadron it's a good cute'em up.Still be warn,the u.s version is highly expensive but the jp version is cheaper.

[soop]

The only Sega CD games I had were Final Fight and NBA Jam.

It's weird, I really want another Multimega, but honestly, cool though they are, I can never think of more than a handful of CD games I'd ever want to play.

[_joshuaTurbo]

Terminator is a good platform game.

I was wondering how long it would take to mention this one.
that said, terminator and sonic CD are really the only reasons to justify a sega CD.
lunar's fine and all, but you might as well go for the PSX versions.

Damn, yea I third the mention of Terminator by Virgin.  Very good soundtrack and solid run 'n gun.  I need to get me a copy again!

Lolers, tats.  Why is Winds of Thunder PCE rated so much over Lords of Thunder TG16?  I always thought they were identical, aside from text changes.  OBEY factor?

[Tatsujin]

US lords is lacking the uberawesome and goosebumb bringing "thanksgiving" when leaving the shop :idea:

Agree with the previous poster that the PSX and Saturn remakes of both Lunars are garbage. Especially Silver Star Story where they couldn't resist screwing around with an already near-perfect plot in the original. It's a case where less is more graphically as well IMHO.

3rd! Cart was not released in the US, so CD is your easy option. By far my most played and enjoyed Sega CD game I own.

I was just going to say Sol-Feace is awesome...to each their own I guess, haha. That game is worth it for the redbook soundtrack alone.

For $3-5, 'Feace is a solid game. I have not messed with the cart Deace release much, but Jeff is right on point about the musics. Android Assault reminds me of Thunder/Lightening Force, A GOOD THING! Robo Aleste is a not-as-good Musha or Spriggian, but still good and has tops music.

I'll go with everyone else on Final Fight, good pick up there if you find it. FF is the daddy of the beat'em up genre. You get Guy, two player and CD audio in the Sega CD release.

Snatcher _is_ overpriced, but I think everyone who owns a Sega CD needs to go through it at least once. It took me about 6 years after snagging a copy before I completed it. Wait for a snow day and knock it out in one or two days.

I'm not big on RPGs so I got nothing to say about Lunar, Popful or Vay.

[DragonmasterDan]

Lunar 1 and 2 are fantastic and are well worth owning the system for alone.

The English versions of Snatcher and Popful Mail are fantastic as well. I like Sonic CD, I like AH3 Thunderstrike, Keio's Flying Squadron is a great little cute em  up. As mentioned by others Android Assualt is fantastic. If you like strategy games Shining Force CD and Dark Wizard aren't bad.

The Sega CD has a lot of games that I think Turbo fans might like. Popful Mail is very similar to the Exile's or Ys 3. The Lunar's are similar enough to Cosmic Fantasy 2 or Dragon Slayer (in fact far better). There's a Dungeon Explorer game on the system. It's a good alternate platform for Turbo fans, while the Sega CD library isn't as shoot-em-up heavy (I'd say Android Assault, Keio's, Sol Feace and Lords of Thunder are all worth owning though) but there's a lot of stuff PC engine fans would appreciate.

[xelement5x]

Poppuru! Poppuru! Poppuru!

Popful Mail is like my favorite game on the Sega CD, but I can only echo a lot of what Dan says as well about the Working Designs games.

A couple good additional standouts that haven't been mentioned are:
Soul Star
Novastorm
Rise of the Dragon
Revenge of the Ninja
The Ecco Games (which sound great)

Also Revengers of Vengeance has a bitchin' name but is kind of meh in my opinion, the opening animation is pretty sweet though.

US lords is lacking the uberawesome and goosebumb bringing "thanksgiving" when leaving the shop :idea:

Sega CD version has the thanksgiving. The US TurboDuo was not powerful enough to have the shop voices. Couldn't be done. Only the Sega CD had enough hardware power and programming talent to do this in the US. The US is the most important country in the entire world (disagree and we will "liberate" you) so therefore the Sega CD version must be the best, Let us give thanks for the thanksgiving!
