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

[Emerald Rocker]

That's because Sega CD was a silicon cheetah, and PCE was not.

[Tatsujin]

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! 

OK, I wasn't aware of that fact, therefore I corrected the chart as of below:

Winds of Thunder PCE [¨x¨------------------|---------------------] Lords of Thunder MD

So I managed to get my hands on some of the Iso's you guys suggested for me to try out before buying the originals and adding them to my collection .. Fatal Fury Special, Final Fight, Keio Flying Squadron, NBA Jam, Popful Mail, Snatcher, Sonic Cd, The Terminator and both Lunar games .. So far I really like Popful Mail and Keio Flying Squadron the best by far, the rest of the games are pretty damn good, except for Snatcher .. That game is definitely what I'm not into .. I also have not had a chance to try out both of the Lunar games .. I'm for sure not hating as much on the Sega Cd like I was a few days ago .. I already took it apart and cleaned up the old lithium grease from the laser assembly and added some fresh new grease to it .. I also added green led's to both the Genesis and the cd attachment, Av modded it and now I'm looking to region mod it and add svideo to it .. Are their any other games I should try out that I'm missing so far ?? Thanks guys for all the great game suggestions ..

The Mega CD version of Ninja Warriors is much better than the PCE one.

Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Showdown were a sloppy mess on Sega Cd. They had bugs and just over all were not good products, though were playable at least. If you are craving fighters on the system I'd stick to Mortal Kombat and Eternal Champions.

What the f*cks wrong with Sol Feace?


My suggestions (some were mentioned):

Ecco the Dolphin
Eye of the Beholder
Dungeon Master
Heimdall
Shadow of the Beast 2
Rise of the Dragon
Anything with a Working Designs logo on it
Shining Force CD (Holybitch this ones good)
Dark Wizard, because f*ck yeah dark wizard (as E.R. said)
Flashback
Terminator 2 or whatever
Eternal Champions.  f*ckkkk yeah this game rules.  Xavier is awesome.

Pretty much ANY Sega CD game that isn't full of dumbass FMV games is actually surprisingly fun.  So, as long as you don't see like, 16 color Corey Haim on the back of the game, give it a shot.


Rise of the Dragon is a really awesome game, but it takes some time to get into it.

ANOTHER CONVERT IS BORN!

Most of the AV mods on the Genesis to do aren't that bad, S-Vid works well, but if you've got something that handles RGB the system does output that right from the back if you've got the appropriate cable.  Region modding the Genny is also pretty straightforward, but modding the SegaCD is a whole other game.

If you wanna play JP games on the Sega CD I recommend one of two things
1) Download the ISOs and change the regions on them to US before burning them to bypass the region check.
or
2) Get a flashcart and you can load different region BIOS files on it so that you can boot the SegaCD into other regions that way.

There is a third way which involves getting a custom BIOS file written to an EEPROM and then installing it into the system, but it's not as trivial as the other mods.

My suggestions (some were mentioned):

Ecco the Dolphin
Eye of the Beholder
Dungeon Master
Heimdall
Shadow of the Beast 2
Rise of the Dragon
Vay
Lunar Silver Star
Lunar Eternal Blue
Shining Force CD
Dark Wizard
Flashback
The Terminator Cd version
Eternal Champions.  f*ckkkk yeah this game rules.  Xavier is awesome.

Add to that list the following:
Dungeon Explorer
Robo Aleste
Sol Feace
Sonic Cd
Android Assault
Keio Flying Squadron
Mortal Kombat
Time Gal
Road Avenger
Silpheed
JAGUAR XJ220
Road Rash
both Batman games

And for a few cheap lulz, Wirehead.

[jeffhlewis]

Batman Returns isn't the greatest game overall but the driving sequences are pretty sweet - really shows what can be done with the hardware scaling/rotation. Keep in mind it was like a 1991 or 1992 release - mind blowing at the time. Core later did similar things with Soulstar and AH3 Thunderstrike.

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Thanks for bringing up Soulstar. That was another I was trying to think of but forgot the name of it.

[TheClash603]

Just watched a Terminator video on youtube, never knew that game existed.  Looks pretty damn good, will have to pick it up!

With that said, I used to play the hell out of Terminator on the Genesis.  I don't know why, but I loved that game.

[Tatsujin]

No way, Jose.

[Black Tiger]

Lords of Thunder Turbo is much better than Winds of Thunder because of the lack of dubbing (as good as it is in the Sega version). Having the raw cinema music is priceless and much more valuable than a few shop voice samples. Anyone who doesn't own any version yet should stick to the Turbo version.

[Arkhan]

Silpheed is another definite requirement.

My friends mind (and load) was blown when he watched me play that recently.   He'd never seen it before.

I also like the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs game.

It's dopey, but I like it.
