The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Core Design was a heavy supporter of the Genesis, and it brought that support to the Sega CD. Together with Virgin Games, Core ported its cartridge platformer Chuck Rock, adding in some cut scenes and a new soundtrack. Aside from these minor difference, however, the game essentially remained the same. Is it worth buying over the cartridge version?
Seven years ago, Good Deal Games published Star Strike, an unfinished FMV game that was slated to be forgotten by time. After some work and publishing, the Sega CD had yet another posthumous addition to its library. Is it really worth tracking down though? Some say that any dead FMV game is a good one, but you just might be surprised here.
Jurassic Park CD is a decidedly different take on the franchise. Going the point-and-click route, it was a fresh experience that forced gamers to think instead of shoot, and any misstep could result in a quick death. Read on and see why there’s yet one more game that should be in your Sega CD library.
A while back, staff writer Rodger Swan reviewed Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the Sega CD. You have to commend him for having a strong enough stomach to sit through such a thing, and the same can be said for his willingness to tackle yet another Dracula game.

There’s something special about games like Flashback: The Quest for Identity. With its roots planted firmly in the computer legacy left by such classics as Out of This World, the way it manages to mesh action with an amazing story captivated gamers the world over. After seeing release on the Genesis and other consoles, the Sega CD was treated to a version that boasted enhanced cut scenes and a great soundtrack. That may not seem like much of a rationale for a CD release, but considering how great the actual game is, there really isn’t much to tweak.
