Sega CD "Hidden Gems"

[Scooter]

Heart of the Alien was one of the greatest Sega CD exclusives ever. It even included a copy of Out Of This World but with an altered soundtrack. The soundtrack in the original Genesis version of OOTW was better in my opinion.

Heart was one of the last games released on Sega CD and released in relatively low numbers so it was often overlooked which is too bad, it is outstanding.

THIS is a really good suggestion.

but with this list, i don't think experienced retro gamers are going to learn anything new.

There's a whole world of fmv games to be explored.

I was just thinking of Dragon's Lair

[final fight cd]

The Mis-Adventures of Flink

i have not played this game yet, but if the controls are as good as how it looks then i would def say this would be a good nomination.

Heart of the Alien

this is also a good one.

Two steps ahead of ya. It's already going on the list.

I'd think about the Terminator game. I think it was designed by Dave Perry, who went on to do some great platformers.

Opa, I am really looking forward to this article. I think Sega CD is my favorite "not that successful console".

The Mis-Adventures of Flink

Big +1

This thread is awesome. Never played Heart of the Alien (well I've played OOTW but not the sequel), definitely gonna check that one out soon.

Flink is a strange contraption. It was designed to showcase the power of the Amiga but the computer never received the CD version, only the Amiga based CD32 console. The Genesis version was cut down heavily but the SCD version is perfect and is somehow better than even the CD32 version which the game was initially developed for. Quite possibly the most gorgeous sprite art on the console and the art style rivals Rayman (not as colorful but just as detailed).

Alright everyone. Here's what I have considered/listed so far.:

Heart of the Alien
The Terminator
The Misadventures of Flick
Microcosm
Wolfchild
Lords of Thunder (still undecided. It has multiple console releases. Maybe just a honorable mention?)
Dungeon Explorer (still debating this one...)
Rise of the Dragon (hmm...maybe yes?)

If anybody has more suggestions do not hesitate to post!!! I'm trying to get a lot of papers/work for school completed and any help given here is much appreciated! And I need more fmv games if anyone knows of any. I'm going to reread through this thread later to see what I missed. (I'd really like to get this done. A lot of other projects are waiting. )

-Peace.
