	Robo Aleste review (SCD) Reviewed on October 08, 2005 With the line sharply drawn between Motonari's alliance of evil and Nobunaga's force of... good?... Compile has infused a driving theme into their 12-stage epic. Each episode, whether it's a rain-streaked flight above placid farmland or a harrowing weave through rocky canyons (as warships take aim from the river below), feels like it's important because each boss has his own unique face and historical personality.
	The Secret of Monkey Island review (SCD) Reviewed on June 29, 2005 Let me make this clear from the beginning: The Secret of Monkey Island is a classic point & click adventure chock full of oddball humor and zesty piratey goodness. The Sega CD translation, however, does a fine job of languishing on a dusty shelf. Preferably someone else’s.
	Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side review (SCD) Reviewed on March 14, 2005 Mortal Kombat made it big by overwhelming us with gratuitous gore and bloody fatalities. The concept of actually killing your opponent in the fight was a little more radical than just beating the snot out of them. Because of this irreverence, it became a controversial hit for all fighting game enthusiasts, playing the game just to see the blood and forgetting about the things that actually made a fighting game good. The sequel to Eternal Champions is an example of a game that follows a similar...
	Snatcher review (SCD) Reviewed on March 04, 2005 ACT I
	Brutal: Paws of Fury review (SCD) Reviewed on February 26, 2005 When a game is released on three different systems and you own all three systems it can be a small chore deciding what system to get which game on. With Brutal, a 2-D fighting game from the 16-bit days, I had a choice of three versions, the Genesis, the SNES and the Sega CD. If Brutal were a movie then the Sega CD would be the DVD version, the Genesis would be the cheap VHS version and the SNES would be the camcorder in the back seat of the cinema version. While the SNES reformed the game entire...
	Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters review (SCD) Reviewed on November 15, 2004 Saddle up your horses! There's a shootout at the saloon! Lethal Enforcers II: Gunfighters is the sequel for the very successful Lethal Enforcers game that is still in many video arcades across the nation. This isn't your typical light-gun shooter either. This time around, the game takes place in the Ol' West. You play the role of the local sheriff, and your job is to dispose of the vermin lurking about town. Good luck partner, because these critters aren't giving up without a...
	NFL's Greatest: San Francisco Vs. Dallas 1978-1993 review (SCD) Reviewed on November 15, 2004 NFL Greatest Teams, whose real name is NFL's Greatest: San Francisco vs. Dallas, is really the low point of all sports games. The overall concept of the game is to first choose either the San Francisco 49ers or the Dallas Cowboys, which are composed of the franchises' greatest players, followed by choosing a play, and finally watching a real-life video of that play. That's it. You really might as well be watching ESPN Classic.
	NHL '94 review (SCD) Reviewed on November 15, 2004 NHL Hockey ‘94 is the best hockey game to be released before the Sony Playstation. It's that simple. What makes it stand out against the rest? Well, there are the improved graphics that the Sega CD version can offer over its competition. There are many modes to keep the gameplay fresh, just in case you ever get tired of just playing regular hockey games. I invite you to continue reading to see what other amazing features lie within NHL Hockey ‘94.
	Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side review (SCD) Reviewed on November 15, 2004 Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side is a premier fighting game for the Sega CD. Unfortunately, the Sega CD wasn't very successful as a system, and Eternal Champions didn't get the attention it deserved. And man, did this game ever deserve some attention. For the time and the technology, this game had everything a fighting game should have: tons of action, great storylines, and an immense amount of blood and gore. It's just a great game!
	Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory review (SCD) Reviewed on November 15, 2004 C+C Music Factory: Make My Video is one of several Make My Video games that were released for the Sega CD. This one features the band, C+C Music Factory. (Other Make My Video games feature bands like Kriss Kross and Inyx, just in case you're wondering.) Yeah, I have never heard of this band either before I played this game. But you have probably heard a couple of their songs. Anyway, the main premise of this game is to create your own music video to one of the band's hi...
	The Animals! review (SCD) Reviewed on November 13, 2004 For some odd reason, I have this game in my possession. And for an even odder reason, I actually paid forty bucks for this game. I mean, forty bucks! Well, was it forty bucks well spent? To put it mildly, no, it wasn't. Animals is just an interactive encyclopedia that focuses entirely on the animal kingdom. And for some odd reason, this "game" was released for the Sega CD. Well, at least I know that one copy of this game was sold.
	Cobra Command review (SCD) Reviewed on November 06, 2004 Gaming vultures (Cathartes bokosuka) love to peck at the defenseless corpses of perished consoles, gouging out the most nauseous remnants of inhumanity. With its library of full-motion video games, some of which lack enough frames of animation to literally qualify as “full-motion”, the Sega CD serves many a dish for these voracious, merciless, insatiable, sadomasochistic scavengers. I’m not like that. I don’t derive sensual pleasure from feeding on decomposition; I look for the strong ...
	ESPN Baseball Tonight review (SCD) Reviewed on September 16, 2004 I can imagine the atmosphere at a ball game. The tension as you watch a member of your hopeful team at the bat with the pitcher ready to throw, the smell of this fat guy's hot dog behind you, the organ music booming in the background and the ultimate showdown, where the pitcher throws the ball and (almost in slow motion) the bat swings, you hear the connection and see your man running like hell while those fielding scramble around in order to foil the plan. Right, I probably got every detail abo...
	Sonic CD review (SCD) Reviewed on August 16, 2004 I have quite a collection of Mega CD games, ranging from fast paced fighters, razor sharp shooters and quite a few of those blurred FMV games that gave you a damn headache to play. One game that stands out in my room though is Sonic CD, a definite classic without a shadow of a doubt and probably one of the better Sonic games of the bunch and believe you me it takes Sonic Heroes and rips it to shreds. Heck, it even beats Sonic 3 in some areas and by taking classic Sonic style gameplay and blendin...
	Ecco the Dolphin review (SCD) Reviewed on July 31, 2004 Adolescence is a difficult time for girls and boys. Apparently it's a difficult time for bottle-nosed dolphins too, as our young hero Ecco finds himself violently hurled into a quest to establish his own identity and independence while saving the entire dolphin species from the carnivorous alien race ''Vortex'' with little more than his own human-surpassing intelligence and the ability to explode voracious hammerhead sharks by squealing at them in his adorable dolphin voice: ''Eeeeeeeee!'' ...
	AH-3 Thunderstrike review (SCD) Reviewed on May 28, 2004 Back when Core was cool, they created a next generation classic. This game's inauspicious debut on the red-headed Sega CD may not have enraptured collective gamerdom, but it caught the eyes of magazine editors and journalists across two continents, establishing Core's reputation and paving the way for Tomb Raider's critical acceptance. With this game, Core proved they could push hardware in ways that actually result in entertainment. In other words, not through the use of brown and spo...
	After Burner III review (SCD) Reviewed on March 14, 2004 Mark my words: no game has been as thoroughly sodomized as Sega's AfterBurner. Think the Game Boy Advance is littered with horrid ports? How about the GBC with its laughable versions of otherwise successful games? You see, you know what you're getting with Nintendo's portables. Their drastically inferior hardware and minute visibility, for instance, will quell any real expectation you may feel grow for a port arriving for the systems. But Sega took it to the next level with AfterBurner.
	Robo Aleste review (SCD) Reviewed on March 14, 2004 Sometimes you have to look where the coal is to find the diamond.
	Ground Zero Texas review (SCD) Reviewed on March 08, 2004 Before I tackle this vile piece of software in detail I'd like to indulge in a bit of historical scene setting, just to hammer home how awful this ''game'' is.
	Earnest Evans review (SCD) Reviewed on January 16, 2004 Vampire bats EXPLODE in waves of blue. Giant naked earthworms stroke the hero to death. Priests hurl Kris daggers across the screen, ceremonial knives whose length put even Shaq to shame. The designers even incorporated the best part of Gradius — that's right, there are MOAI HEADS in this game!
