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

[Nec.Game.head]

I just in the past few days scored on a Sega cd model 2 that is in full working order .. I burned some iso's of games that I figured I try out first before hunting them down for a good price .. I found out Lords Of Thunder was released for it and myself being such a fan boy of that game had to download it and test it out .. Holly F that game is soo horrible compared to the original !! At first I thought hmm the audio is kinda decent in the opening scene, then I got into the game play and that also is totally F .. The character you play with moves soo slow and his movements are not smooth at all .. Their are few things that seemed kinda appealing while trying it out like some of the color in the levels details and the fact you now have a voice over when powering up your character but that's pretty much it .. So far the 3 games I tried out have horrible slowdown at times when the screen gets full of stuff happening all at once .. I'm gonna really try to give this Sega cd thing an honest chance .. Do any of you know of some games that are a must play for this funky console ??

Both of the Lunar games.
Flashback
Flink
Vay
Shining Force
Popful Mail
Snatcher

And speaking of Turbo games done on Sega CD, you should check out Dungeon Explorer.

That's all I can think of off hand.

Bari Arm/Android assault is the only shooter worth playing on mega/sega cd
Robo Aleste sucks

I'd add Sonic CD to that list if you're a fan of Sonic games.

Also, I definitely favor LoT on SCD compared to Sega CD, don't get me wrong, but... are you sure there isn't something wrong with your burn of the ISO?  I've played it (Not recently) and noticed a few differences, but nothing to the extent that you've mentioned.  The game is not as polished as it should be, and the colours are fugly, but for the most part the game is Lords of Thunder... just for the Sega CD.

Agree with all of those games but Popful Mail. maybe I don't get it, but its not really that great of a game to me. Very generic in game play. To bad to, cause the animated movies are very good.

Ecco
Keio Flying Squadron

Stay away from Sol-Feace, nowhere as good as Sol-Deace on the Genesis.

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.

-Final Fight CD is probably the best version of the game on a console, still tons of fun 2-player
-Robo Aleste is very enjoyable
-Soulstar and Silpheed are worth a play-through
-The Working Designs games are all worth playing - Vay is the weakest IMHO, the Lunar games are reason enough to own a Sega CD
-Snatcher is overpriced and overrated - in no way shape or form is it worth the pricetag, but it's worth a playthrough if you can borrow/burn a copy. You'll beat the game in like 40 minutes and wonder what the hype is about.

Lords of Thunder for Sega-CD is a great port and still very impressive and fun. But it was designed around the PCE hardware, just as Sonic CD on PCE would still look and play nice  but wouldn't be the same.

Cobra II/The Space Adventure is one of the best digicomics of the generation and has a great localization.

Flink is cool, although not too much different from the cart version.

Dark Wizard is good if you enjoy fantasy war sims.

Ok maybe it's not awful I just prefer the Gen port more (for the music, sfx, ending) :-p I forgot about Silpheed that was a fun one!
*Here's an auction that ends soon for Sol Feace that might be available to steal for a dollar plus shipping:

Terminator is a good platform game.

[futureman2000]

I think Lunar(s) and Final Fight are the best Sega-CD games.

[lukester]

Sonic CD is my favorite Sonic game. Be warned though, it plays differently than the other Sonics.

You bet it plays a bit different. I remember playing it a my friends house with the Sega CD hooked up to his stereo system. That was quite an experience.

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.

Sonic 1 is my favorite Sonic
