Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!)

Really?  Why's that, then?  Nevermind, I think I smell a new thread.

The only way the Sega CD 1 drive would pop back open again is due to user error.  I do not like the GUI of the SEGA CD 2.  It's hard just to go in and see your Back Up RAM cartridge saves and you seem to have to wait forever to do it.  In fact I think you may even need a CD in the drive.  So suffice it to say that the Sega CD 1 BIOS is waaaay better than the Sega CD 2's, with the exception of the crappy music.

Robo Aleste is pretty cool,  I forgot about that one even though I own it.  Batman Returns is awesome if you turn off the platform levels, and don't forget about Soul Star.  It's not a spectacular game, but it is great eye candy.  Thunder Strike looks kind of bad, but it is really fun.  Lords of Thunder isn't quite "great" due to the sound effect issues and lack of difficulty that version has.

Okay a$$hole, you wanna play like that, huh? You've left me no choice:



And if you think any of those games I listed are crap, you need your head examined. And you're not gonna talk shit about Lethal Enforcers or Rise of the Dragon and live to tell about it. You should get your teeth knocked out just for saying that alone! Fatal Fury Special, average. You've got to be out of your f*cking mind to think that. And you probably never even played Starblade. You just read some other dumbass' review of it and judged it off of that. And Time Gal is one of the best FMV games I ever played. Even better than Dragon's Lair. "The Terminator" is one of the best licensed games of all time. Batman Returns is awesome, and you probably only played it for 5 minutes and gave up, and didn't give it a chance. Rise of the Dragon is on the same level as Snatcher. Robo Aleste is one of the most overrated pieces of shit I ever played in my entire life. I heard so much about that game and was excited when I finally got it in the mail, and when I played it, it sucked so f*cking badly. Get off of the AVGN's nut sack, for pete's sake. NBA Jam is crap too? How old are you? 10? Wolfchild crap? Who are you? That moron kolibiri, aka Howard Cneal? AH3 Thunderstrike is one of the few flight sims that people who aren't into flight sims can enjoy no problem. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is awesome too. Rebel Assault is one of the BEST Star Wars games EVER made. Revenge of the Ninja is BEYOND decent. Jaguar XJ220 is one of the best racing games of all time.

I haven't had any problems with the drive door on my segacd model 1. I have the one with the motorized tray. I have read that there is a segacd model 1 with a non motorized tray that is more desirable because you don't have to worry about the motor going out. I like the motorized tray though; it makes it seem like my genesis is a computer, haha.

There is no Sega CD 1 without a motorized tray.  The motor on the tray will probably be the last thing that goes out unless you have a habit of pushing the tray closed instead of closing it via the BIOS.  The spindle motor should wear out long before that.

Exactly. I have 1st generation CD players to this day and they are, in all seriousness, more reliable than ones made today.

You've been lucky. Old cd players ARE extremely unreliable. Much, much moreso than modern players. That is a fact. They love to stop working. They even disassemble themselves sometimes. If you've actually used a modern CD player, you've been using some chinese no-brand crap. Or you just made up the fact that they are more reliable than "modern" players.

Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!) - it's POP... crap

You're a hero for saying that. It's Prince of Persia. So true... Such a HORRIBLE game! For ANY format. Especially Mega-CD.

No...I didn't just make that up. Though the CD players I'm talking about are Sony and AIWA. I now have a 5 disc Sony CD changer and that thing is just a nightmare. But I think that has more to do with the fact it's a 5 disc changer than anything.

I'm totally serious about what I said. Those old CD players, especially that AIWA, are tough little buggers. I been through moves upon moves with them, taking them to parties back in high school to DJ with. They've had drinks poured on them, dropped and banged. Maybe I was overstating it when I said that ALL new CD players are pieces of shit, but when our manufacturing jobs are being exported to places with cheap labour, such things are bound to happen. I think I'm just bitter about my 5 disc changer. That thing is just waiting to go on me.  ](*,)

But these suckers will play any CD, whether burned, scratched or whatever. But I will say that my 5 disc Sony is extremely good in terms of vibration. But it's also a DVD player so I think that has something to do with that as well.

But what is worse are CDs. They are flimsy pieces of crap now that scratch if you so much as breathe on them. If you hold a 1st gen CD and a 2nd gen CD in each hand you can tell that the 1st gen CD is more durable. When CDs first came out one of the biggest things going for them was their durability. There is actually a noticeable difference is weight.

 Jesus f*cking Christ, hold old are you!? Do me a favor and keep your comments of violence to yourself. Okay, on to the response..

 Damn, you're one serious SegaCD fan boy. I'm 31 btw(since you asked) and I was around when those crap titles came out. That's right, I've had the same opinion of those crap games before way before AVGN. Your the type of gamer we used to laugh at, at the game stores. Glad you bought all the crap, someone had too. I could never stand the US/EU crap that starting coming out for Sega (and somewhat less for Nintendo too) in '92-95.

 Btw, why post videos of that dork? After watching those videos, I have seen the error of my ways - please forgive me... That guy is a complete f-ing moron/nerd/geek (not to mention his voice is annoying too).

 (I was going to end it there, but f*ck it...)

I'd *love* to see you try.

Fatal Fury Special, average. You've got to be out of your f*cking mind to think that.

Yup, it's an average port. You don't think it could have been a better port(The PCECD version is)? You're easily pacified.

Quote
And Time Gal is one of the best FMV games I ever played. Even better than Dragon's Lair.

I played it before the SegaCD came out (MegaCD from a friend). And not, Road Avenger is better. But in general, FMV *games* suck anyway. They're better to watch than to play after beating it the first time around.

Quote
"The Terminator" is one of the best licensed games of all time. 

So you like that crap, huh? Another US/EU craptacular game.

Quote
Batman Returns is awesome, and you probably only played it for 5 minutes and gave up, and didn't give it a chance.

You're smoking crack. That game blows. Yeah, the driving parts are cool, but platform part totally sucks and the graphics are seriously nasty. The original Batman Sega cart was waaay better than that crap and had better graphics(much better).

Quote
Rise of the Dragon is on the same level as Snatcher.

Yeah? You're f*cking nuts. Rise of the Dragon was a crappy PC game (which I had and was better than the SegaCD version btw) in comparison.

Quote
Robo Aleste is one of the most overrated pieces of shit I ever played in my entire life. I heard so much about that game and was excited when I finally got it in the mail, and when I played it, it sucked so f*cking badly.

You're not a real gamer....seriously. That game is complete fun and has a kick ass sound track (unless you don't shooters). You love the SegaCD but call this game a piece of shit? Wow....

Quote
NBA Jam is crap too? How old are you? 10?

Yes. And as I already stated, 31.

Quote
Wolfchild crap? Who are you? That moron kolibiri, aka Howard Cneal?

Wolfchild is just another crap title in the later generation of the Genesis. And it reeks of EU style/design. It sucks.

Quote
AH3 Thunderstrike is one of the few flight sims that people who aren't into flight sims can enjoy no problem.

That doesn't mean it isn't crap. It's the type of game that belongs on the PC. I'm not into flight sims or this game.

Quote
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is awesome too.

 If you say so....

Quote
Rebel Assault is one of the BEST Star Wars games EVER made.

Now I know you're a f-ing liar. The SegaCD port was a watered down port of the PC version (which I owned as well). The game sucks on PC and it sucks on any other format too. What's up with your full motion video fetish? These FMV games for the most part, are completely f*cking soulless. God damn..

Quote
Jaguar XJ220 is one of the best racing games of all time.

Are you stuck in SegaCD ages or something? Maybe you haven't played newer generation racing games (like this generation for example).


 Seriously, unless you were like 10 when you had those games, I can't see any excuse why you even like those games (you know, the ones that suck). But if you weren't, then you have some serious poor taste in games based on your list.

  Next you're going to tell me Popful Mail sucks (which is doesn't).

The second Sega CD model was ALOT better than the first one. It had a pop open lid, and you didn't need to turn it on to change the friggin' game (Plus you don't have to worry about the drive door constantly opening up again right after you close it!), better start up music, better everything. And there alot of good games on the system:


Sol Feace
Cobra Command
Jaguar XJ220
Time Gal
Road Avenger
Batman Returns
Final Fight CD
Prince of Persia (And the best damn version you can find at that!)
Wolfchild
Lethal Enforcers
Lethal Enforcers II
Rise of the Dragon
The Terminator
Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin
Starblade
NBA Jam
AH3 Thunderstrike
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs
Rebel Assault
Revenge of the Ninja
Snatcher
Fatal Fury Special
The Space Adventure
Lords of Thunder

LOADS

The majority of those titles are infact really good. The only one I was not hot on was Fatal Fury Special or the Samurai Showdown port,that was not a good port really. Rebel Assault was horrible to me too. I liked those,along with Android Assault,Robo Aleste,Batman and Robin,Silpheed,Lunar Silver Star and Eternal Blue,Vay,Shining Force Cd,Dungeon Explorer,Eternal Champions,Mortal Kombat,Kei Flying Squadron,Popful Mail and a few others. I had these titles on Sega Cd,and had more then just a Genesis/Sega Cd combo,had plenty of others systems and games to play,so I wasn't a Sega fanboy.

These games honestly were nice for the system,and had alot of fun to be had. Even Spider Man,other then its god awful soundtrack.....

I agree with Helgeson, but Spider-Man had a song by Eric Martin in it!
