I just got one and I was wondering what you all recommended (all genres).

Dark Wizard

I just couldn't get enough of the game. It's a strategy-based RPG. One of the best games I've ever played.

I'm not really into normal RPGs, but the legandary Lunar series also had its start on the Sega CD (there are two).

Snatcher is pricey but worth it, Rise of the Dragon is cheaper, but it can still be fun. Lunar is great, but again pricey. I love all the FMV games, like Cobra Command, Time Gal, Road Avenger... they are all cheap, but not everyones bag. Batman Returns is great driving arcade action (just turn off the platformer in the options, it stinks). Tons more, lots of fun stuff and all pretty cheap...

Snatcher is an absolute must have. BEST. GAME. EVER.

Other than that Android Assualt, Silpheed, Popful Mail, Vay, Lunar, Lunar 2, Soul Star, and Lords of Thunder are all good games.

Dark Wizard OWNZ. I've still got the same copy I've had since 94 or whenever it came out and she is currently in her 3rd Sega CD. Besides being a great game it has one of the best soundtracks like ever.

Other worthwhile games are
Lunar
Lunar 2
Final Fight CD
Silpheed
SpiderMan v KingPin (though when I went back to play this the other day it didn't seem as good as I remembered)

Ground Zero Texas is pure comedy gold. It's like watching a REALLY REALLY bad B movie.

Daybona I have everything I listed cept Lunar 2 if you come to the next MD get together feel free to check em out.

I'd say any working designs is worth while on ANY system:

Lunar
Lunar 2
Popful Mail
Vay

These are the only reason I bought my Sega CD really. Playing Lunar the way it was originally envisioned before I played the PSX port was pretty damn cool, and worth it.

You should also check out Shining Force CD. That game was damn cool as well!

Of course, if you're not an RPG/Strategy RPG, you may as well stay away from these games...

I have a sega genesis cdx, and a few games.

an obvious choice is Sonic CD. I think it is the best out of all of the 2d sonics.

Snatcher! One of the best games of all time! I don't know what it goes for now, but you should definitely get it!

'Side form the ones mentioned...


The Terminator:

A sadly overlooked, side scrolling shooter with AWESOME music by Tommy Talarico studios and animation by Dave Perry (Earthworm Jim and Alladin) one of my fave sega cd games.

Final Fight CD:

Closest arcade port their is , even has new areas not scene in any other version (time attack stages)

Robo Aleste:

Fantastic shooter from Compile, think Musha with great CD music.

Prize Fighter:

The only FMV game i've ever liked, unmatched atmnosphere and great gameplay...loved it.

I concur with Pliskin on ROBO ALESTE. If you're a compile shooter fan, or just a fan of shooters, you must have this game in your collection.

These are all great picks, I'd forgetten about some of them.

Personally, I think all the full motion video games were worthless, but some people still dig'em (and people picked the best of the particular litter). You may consider Night Trap, just for the historical/controversy sake of it.

As for RPGs, both Lunar games are great, but play Lunar 2: Eternal Blue FIRST. I can't stress that enough.

The best shooter on Sega CD, imo, is Android Assault. Definetly worth while.

Am I the only one here that wants to say Ground Zero: Texas!? wOOt!

Oh yeah and that reminds me...have any of you ever tested that weird audio track thats on all Sega CD games developed my Digital Pictures? If you put the cd into a standard cd player, this track will begin to play. A phone rings, and then an operator picks up and says, "Hello, Digital Pictures..." then all these voices start chanting and shit! "YANARAAAAA YANARAAAAA YANARAAAAA!" Dude, I'm not making this shit up. Try it, I'm almost positive it worked with Ground Zero:Texas. Fucked up shit.

Yea I like this game Road Avenger...

I have a bunch of games for the Sega Cd,but I only like a few.
I have some rare games that fetch a pretty penny on Ebay.
They are unopened so I can't comment on them.

These are some of the games I played that kept my interest for awhile.(opened)
I like, Sol Feace
Eternal Champions
Cliff Hanger
Ecco,the tides of time
Dragons Lair
Lethal Enforcers 1-2,with the gun or two.
Sonic CD
Mansion of Hidden souls.
The Amazing Spider man,it's sealed but I had another.
Star Wars Rebel Assault
Third World War.

I have a red cardboard boxed uncensored version of Night Trap.
I had found this copy cheap at a Flea market.
I think I read that there was a censored version too.
I forget and I'm to tired to find out tonight.

Night Trap was the first video game to push the boundaries a little to far; most of the live actors in the game were killed and such and it was recalled from shelves. It was re-released without the 'video-nasty' parts. The original uncut version regularly fetches $50 on ebay. It was also the very first game in europe to be given a age restriction (15)
