The Sega Mega CD, or Sega CD as its known in the USA was an upgrade/add-on for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis which offered CD-ROM capability. Incorporating an additional Motorola 68000 chip, increased memory, and custom graphics and sound processing, the Mega CD was poised to be a massive leap forward in technology for existing Mega Drive owners. However, the additional components meant the unit was simply priced to high for most casual gamers. This, coupled with the delayed launch in Western regions, meant that people simply made-do with their existing hardware or waited until something better came along (and I dont mean the 32X). This leaves the Mega CD as an obscure but hugely interesting side note of early-mid 90s technology, and could even be marked as the point where Sega began to falter in their business credentials. Join me in this system review to find out about the Sega CDs history, its specifications, the games library and what happened at the end of its short, but intense life. \r
