ssjevot 12/08/21 8:44:54 PM #3:	FortuneCookie posted... seemingly no great advance on disk/cartridge space The CDs held 100s of megabytes of data. That's how you get CD quality music. Though you also ended up with weird stuff like the SMT port on Sega CD where they used awful low quality audio generated by the Mega Drive for battles to avoid load times. And man do battles happen a lot in that game. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:960743148] in Sega CD wa...

Kim_Seong-a 12/08/21 8:53:03 PM #6:	Sega CD at least made a little bit of sense. It filled a niche in the market and had something unique to offer compared to the base Genesis. What in the fuck were they thinking with the 32X. though? Why would you release an expensive add-on right before the launch of your brand-new console? --- https://imgur.com/a/fqY7axi <cite>Kim_Seong-a posted [p:960743387] in Sega CD wa...

I believe that was Sega of America who didn't want to abandon the Genesis as it sold well in America, whereas the Mega Drive was in distant 3rd in Japan and Sega couldn't wait to get a new console out. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:960744124] in Sega CD wa...
