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

There are few things Sega could have done to not get stomped by the Playstation. I believe that betting on a beefed up Sega CD, released later on as a pseudo-next-gen system, was probably not one of them.

My 2cent Sega history rewrite: Let the Sega CD be the goofy little experiment that it was, but ditch the 32X. Have faith in riding the 16-bit market through 1995. Release the Saturn/whatever a little later with 3D hardware superior to the Playstation's, and still with a CD drive unlike the N64. Maybe a stripped down Model-2 arcade board with a CD drive stuck on the side. Don't f*ck up the launch, and have a goddamn 3D Sonic game early on.

The Saturn was a massively powerful 3D machine.  Trouble was it was a nightmare to program for having twin 32 bit architecture and used Quadrilaterals.  I mean the launch VF game had one processor to control each character, needlessly complicated.  Many developers just used one 32 bit chip which by itself was a good step down from a PS1 setup that displayed triangles (Lots of screen tearing which most people just ignore).  The PS1 was a joy to program for and it obviously took the lead.

Yeah, I don't give a shit about any of that.

All I know is that there are two 32-bit Sega machines. One is extremely well built, very durable, and has many many really f*cking good games on it, and the other one is the 32X.

EDIT: btw, I'm not sure why, but primeterrydm2.gif is totally hammering my CPU on both my computer and my phone. Is anyone else experiencing this?

^^^ have you looked at fighting street yet?  I'm just sayin... ^^^

Apparently not yet.

Yeah, it's pretty obnoxious.  My computers take a noticeable hit when that sig shows up.

   Good one.

I don't get the fighting street reference however I know it's a launch cd title here in the states and not particularly good game. 

[SignOfZeta]

I think that was aimed at me, insinuating Fighting Street is as brown as any Genesis game.

I think that's what they meant.

[Tatsujin]

I need to learn how to burn Sega CD's.  I need to try some rarer games.

You also need to learn how to use signatures in forums.  You need to try some (much) smaller ones.

(hope that hit home for once)

Its not just the size, its something to do with the way its animated.

THAT, of course too :idea:

Fighting street is another section of this forum that you need to look at.

Nope.  The Saturn comment just made me chuckle because it sounded like you said it had a ton of good games. That's all.
