I think my favorite part of the Sega CD is that there are a nice number of console variants to choose from. Of course the problem with this is that power adapters are rarely cross compatable.

I'd pay $10 for it!
Plus on top of that they are having a end of summer sale where any vintage games for any vintage system are 40 percent off, so it would even cheaper then 8 bucks. Should probably see what they charge for Sega CD games, they do have slipheed and Wolfchild, I believe they have about 30 plus games.

It's probably a good idea to try some of the games, see if you like them, and then decide whether or not you think it's worth collecting for, rather than the other way around.

I already have a emulator. Just been trying to build on my other systems a bit first like the Dreamcast and Saturn.

Terminator and AVG is one of the first places I had heard of the Sega CD, music for Terminator seems great, just a bit better then the NES version right?
Terminator is an awful game. The graphics are better and the music is much better on the Sega CD version. But that doesn't hide the awful gameplay whatsoever.

When it comes to licensed games, you have to take what you can get. Goldeneyes and KOTORs are far and few between.

i actually think the game is awesome. haha

even though the music is good, it doesn't go with the game...at all.
