The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Controversial, innovative, all flash and no substance: Mortal Kombat has been called it all. When the famous fighter eventually made its way to the Sega CD, fans were hoping for a true system seller that would blow every other version out of the water. Did they get it? Not…exactly.
FMV games – love ’em or hate ’em, they’re a big part of the Sega CD’s history. Some were actually worth playing, although your mileage may vary as to how much. One title that is worth a play or two is Wolf Team’s humoristic Time Gal, which sends the player on an obstacle-filled romp through different periods in history. It didn’t set the world on fire, but it didn’t burn anyone’s house down either. If you’re looking for another disc to spin in your Sega CD, this one’s good for a few hours.
Want more fighting games? Haven’t gotten enough of SNK’s rowdy bunch of brawlers? Then maybe you need to try Fatal Fury Special for the Sega CD… or maybe not. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, which is downright sad. You’ve probably seen this disappointment before, but just in case we’ve got you covered with our complete write up.
The Sega CD is home to many an underappreciated title, and over the years many great games have sat in silence, awaiting some long-overdue attention. One example is Android Assault: Revenge of Bari-Arm, a fun and engaging shmup that was largely overlooked by gamers at the time (that probably had something to do with it being released right after Silpheed, which was the center of an absurd amount of hype). Aren’t you lucky then, that we have a full review to give you an idea of what you missed and why you should find yourself a copy ASAP
After gifting gamers with the RPG bliss that was Lunar the Silver Star, Working Designs got to work localizing their second release, Vay. Considered to be the hardest of the WD Sega CD quartet, it was actually a sweet little game, and it featured some interesting story elements to boot.
