Congrats! I just got mine a couple days ago off craigslist.

Hope I don't hijack your thread but I got a model 2 Sega CD with a model 1 Genesis, 2 controllers, 5 or so Sega CD games (none too stellar), and 4 or 5 genesis games. All for $20!

Thats a solid price, especially if you got some quality titles

I got it home and it works! I hooked my 32X up to it too, even though I'm not aware of any great CD 32X games. I'd have posted sooner, but considering that it works... well I've been playing it up 'til now

I'm drilling through the library on UG and trying out all of the games. WAY too many FMV games, but there are some real gems in between them. I wish more games used the CD 32X combo. It's nice that they used it to make Corpse Killer suck a little less, but that's a lot of wasted potential...

Definitely don't overlook the genesis ports. The Sega CD versions of Ecco the Dolphin and Earthworm Jim are fantastic.

Nice stuff! I remember how excited I was when I got my first Sega CD in 2004.

Keep that 32x hooked up too! The much nicer encoder on the 32X means the image through composite is far superior than the Genesis alone can produce.

I'm noticing that. I still need to get a CRT TV that supports S-Video, but the output I'm getting on composite is already very sharp! The 32X was crashing like a mofo until I took it apart and reseated the ribbon cables, and now it's rock steady. The three part combo now has its own dedicated surge protector.

For years I used to wish I could get a perfect edition of Earthworm Jim, with the Sega CD Special Edition music and levels, but with some of the SNES version's graphical enhancements (I've heard some people say Special Edition has all of the SNES graphics, but it's not true). Now I just don't care about EWJ that much compared to other games of the era. Still a version well worth having though!
