and now the most important question.. did that CD-Add on for the SNES and Genny any good to the already existing hardware?
1. the snes never got one
2. the genny doesn't look much improved in most of the cases (still the PCE games looking superior), even there is a ton more of hardware inside than the pce ever got. in fact the pce got nothing but the naked cd-rom add-on (and some ADPCM sound buffer).
1. The SNES created a monster known as the PS1, Nintendo Fuct up on that one but obviously intended as a CD add-on...So no it did nothing for the system.
2.Not Much Improved? You ever see games like RESQ, SoulStar, hell even Joe Montana Football has impressive graphics that couldn't be done on a Turbo CD. Silpheed is quite amazing. That said to end this argument click on this link HERE ---->
and tell me how good Thunder Hawk looks. So yeah the Sega CD did a LOT for the system.
The Sega CD is a powerful machine, but it was a victim of the FM Craze and some poor MD ports that just added cinematic scenes and CD music with no graphical upgrades.
Micky Mania REALLY looks good on it as well, take a look
I think Afterburner looks OUTSTANDING on the PCE, obviously Dynastic Hero Rules and I love the music although some prefer the FM from the MD. Chiki Chiki boys is a great comparison and yes choose from CD music and FM chip tunes. Forgotten Worlds for the most part is ABSOLUTELY better on the PCE save for the single player part but not a deal breaker...
..and the list goes on and on and on like that. but you still sit in for the MD and claim it is better? that's just intensely paradoxic. lol.
Listen, I am not some unmoving fan boi that won't admit when a game is better. It's not always hardware that makes the game, if that were True the Atari Jaguar would have been the greatest console ever made and we'd all be playing our Jaguar 1's right now.
That said the PCE did best the MD in some ports of games it isn't paradoxic I simply hand out compliments where they belong. I could have bashed the shit out of the PCE version of Golden Axe but choose to leave that abortion alone as we both know that the PCE could hae done better and the MD for the most part could have done better in certain games as well where it fell short. Forgotten Worlds to me was a lazy port. It does have the Horse Power to get two players blasting sprites simultaneously which is nice and it does have some parallax, hell even the ZX Spectrum Version of Forgotton Worlds has parallax in it, the PCE version does not and it is only 1 player probably due to sprite constraints and I still say it's a better port.
