The Sega CD's 22nd Birthday

I actually paid good money for one of these things. The two games I got with it were Night Trap and Sewer Shark.

Oddly enough, I never bought any of the really good games for the Sega CD like Lunar: Silver Star Story or Snatcher. I rented them from Blockbuster, which shows you how long ago that really was.

I remember, in those pre-internet days, having a sheet of paper with all of the time codes for Night Trap. I don't remember where I got it from, but it did help me beat the game.


Yes, once upon a time people that the nonsense above was some revolutionary stuff for console gaming. (Laserdisc games like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace has been around for more than a decade at that point.)

Speaking of Night Trap, I wonder if anybody working on that game seriously considered the name of the organization your character works for...



There wasn't a lot of support in terms of titles for the Sega CD. A lot of what was available wasn't all that great. Despite that I still have some nostalgia for the Sega CD. It sure didn't stop me from getting a Dreamcast or taking my friend's Saturn when he didn't want it anymore. But, I do remember feeling a bit burned after a little while of owning the Sega CD. I felt like a sucker.

My brother was an even bigger sucker. He bought the 32x. AFTER seeing my Sega CD.

WebM Test

Testing out using WebM on my Blogger acct.


It seems like it works, so that's another big plus over using Tumblr. WebM is superior to GIF, and while neither site seems to support WebM uploads, at least you can embed them on Blogger.
