I'm sorry, but as a huuuge Sega fan I can't possibly let this one go without some sort of defense for such an excellent console. Go to the following URL; take a few minutes out to read it and you'll soon agree that this has to be the most underrated console in existance:
You haven't played Lunar, Snatcher, Sonic CD, or the utterly fantastic Popful Mail - have you? If you had, I'm sure you'd think differently about this system. I just wish there were more out there developing for it - even for fun. I've spent hundreds of hours playing many Mega CD games, and I really believe they were hours very well spent (as well as the above Working Designs releases, Dungeon Explorer and Dune - not by WD - are also worth checking out).
Remember, this system was only released in 1993! Such complaints about the supposedly "awful" visual quality just doesn't stand up if you consider when Sega were releasing this console. I agree it was overpriced, but at least it could perform! (can't say the same for the 3DO or Sega's own underpowered and again, overpriced 32X)
