Rare and/or unreleased games for Sega CD

[Cryomancer]

I've got a burned copy of what claims to be a beta of citizen X, but it wouldn't run in any emulators on on real hardware i tried it in. Sega CD one thinks it's a CD+G of silence and blackness.

No idea if this is helpful at all.

Don't forget Eric Quakenbush's Shadow of Atlantis, which was canned when the Sega CD was discontinued.

[-hellvin-]

I think I'll throw in:

Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis

I've read a review for it in sega visions and it looked completed but as far as I know, it never came out in any form. The only thing I can think it might of come out on is Mega CD but I've never heard of it.

Wasn't that going to be a 32X CD game before Sega realized how few people had both add-ons?

I believe I heard that as well... that it was going to be a 32x game. I hear it was also finished.

I still can't believe that someone said the Sega CD had no good games besides the Lunars and Shining Force.

Silly, silly man!

I could have sworn I saw Braindead 13 for the Sega CD, but I'm probably just mixing it up with another version.

I have a working version of the game. I found it around 1999 in the net. Its a bad game...

Yes, you are. I actually had Sega CD Braindead 13 on reserve for months and months until it was finally cancelled without release. You've gotta be thinking of the PSX version....I think.

Sega CD didnt really get any good games. Most of the games probbobly are rare and unreleased.

I disagree. Although its true that the Sega CD saw a ton of crappy games, the same can be said of the Sony Playstation.

I suggest that you try...

The Terminator (CD edition)

Sonic CD

Rise of the Dragon

Snatcher

Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side

Star Blade

Final Fight CD

[evildead2099]

Darkseed (by Cyberdreams, for Sega CD). Announced but released only on CD32. A graphical adventure inspired by the art work of H.R. Giger.

Now THAT is a game that I'd really like to try! What's CD32?

Sonic CD is CONSTANTLY cited as the best Sonic game created, and I - for one - agree. An amazing game. Wish they'd friggin' released it in the Sonic Mega Collection.

And Snatcher rocks HARD. As does Vay. And Shining Force CD.

Kee-ripes, some of the "best games" PERIOD were found only on the Sega CD it seems.

Darkseed was also released for computers. I used to have it and the sequel.

EDIT: And The Underdogs have it and the manual! Go try it ... if you dare!

Another great SEGACD exclusive (not found on ANY other system, nor in PCs) is the sequel to "another world": Heart of the alien.

Its a great game...believe me...you just need to THINK

A Sega CD is worth the price of admission for Sonic CD itself.

Sure, there's other stuff as well that kicks ass, but I don't need anything other than the glory that is Sonic CD.

[digitalpress]

Ah, it's good to share the love of Sega CD. It's true. There are some really bad games on the system, but the good ones make the system well worth its cost, which is VERY cheap these days.

According to Michael Thomasson, Indiana Jones never got past the planning stage (no actual game coding was completed). I too have that issue of Sega Visions, and I honestly think they reviewed the PC version.

A scan would be cool!

We've got people listing off Sega CD games left and right but no mention of Flink? That game is graphically gorgeous and one of the most innovative platformers of the 16-bit era.

It has great graphics...but I didnt like it that much...the character moved a little too slow, dont you think?
