It pays to get the word out that I collect vintage video game stuff... a friend of mine was cleaning house and found his old Sega CD with attached Genesis 1 in box and gave the whole thing to me. The box is absolutely mint - with the Lechemere (I miss those guys) sticker of $299. I had a few Sega CD games I found at yard sales and kept - Sonic CD and Robo Aleste are both great and some 4-in-1 classic CD that is pretty good (but I have most of that stuff for the Genesis anyway).
Can anyone recommend any must-have games for the Sega CD? I know that not many games were released for this somewhat maligned machine but now that I have one I'm getting interested in getting more games for it. I will go and search for the top-games here on digitpress but I'm specifically looking for good console exclusives - platform and 2D shooters are usually my favorites but odd one-of-a-king games are good too.
Also, the Genesis 1 that came with it did not have an A/V video cord although I have several A/V cords for my Genesis 2 and 3 models (they don't appear to fit the same plug - the Genesis 1 has this huge A/V plug and must have had a different A/V cord). Ebay has cords for $4 but I might as well ask here if anyone has a spare 1601 Model Genesis A/V cord they can let go even cheaper ;) I tried to use the Genesis RF out to my older TV (which currently has my Atari 2600 hooked up) but I couldn't get the picture to stabilize. In the end, I had to hook my Genesis model 2 up to the Sega CD though it doesn't look as nice sitting on top as it's not the right size!
