Finally Found the Sega CD Model 1 in 2022 ... 😄 !

[@mumfnah]

This has always been the best looking console to me, the Mk1 Megadrive and Mega-CD. Perfect 👌

[@souljastation5463]

I agree, it looks like a piece of 80s Hi-Fi equipment. I wish the Saturn looked as cool.

[@esperago]

You know what one of the worst combos is? The Sega CDX with a 32X plugged-in.

[@miltonbates6425]

2nd best iteration for me. I prefer the North American Sega Genesis ontop of the Sega CD. Something about the color scheme that does it for me.

[@jackmyowl]

SEGA TOWER OF POWER!!!

[@sillkthashocker]

The JVC X'EYE is the best looking console 😉

[@lloydmilton9808]

Wow, thanks for this! I bought a Sega CDX and subsequently a 32x in the 90's military. It was my first foray into Sega and I loved it. Games like Ecco the Dolphin with music you could play in your car and Lunar with animation cutscenes just blew my mind. I still play a decent amount of current gen games, but I miss the days of new systems opening new levels of wonder and joy.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Sega CDX.. that is one awesome piece of tech. Wanted to get it for review only that one is even more crazier to find 🙄

[@esperago]

Did you have the 32X plugged into the Sega CDX like I did? What a fun abomination. Could only half open the CD tray and it would tip over easily. But... how many of us had that particular combo? A rare breed indeed!

[@jackmyowl]

Even for a broken SEGA CDX you'd be paying at least $300 - $500 on second hand market.

[@bgggggg8688]

Ikr @cwispy joe

[@BobaTheFett1970]

Silpheed is one of the all time best Sega cd games!! You need it in your collection!

[@Apanblod]

I remember reading about that game in a SEGA magazine back in the day. I read those over and over, and I'm fairly sure it got a score of 87/100. Strange how some insignificant details get stuck in your memory forever.

[@overnightdelivery]

Recently picked up a Sega CD with Silpheed. Awesome game. So far I always die in the third level at the part where the announcer says "There's too many of them!". You need fast reflexes and of course to play it alot.

[@skykitchen867]

My dad bought it when it first came out, and we still have it, and it works fine! My favorite game was Time Gal it sure is fun to play it once and awhile. :)

[@Stormf0rce999]

I have the model 1 Sega CD and the 32X also, love it great retro gaming takes me back to my youth

[@t0nito]

You got the RGB cable might as well get a CRT to really enjoy the 16 bit graphics.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I have only did not use it for the video 😅

[@josegalvez2250]

Awesome pickup man! I was lucky enough to find a cdx a few years ago. Sadly though its starting to have issues reading discs. Love all things Sega my dude. Peace out from Las Vegas.

[@esperago]

There are good amateur refurbishers out there nowadays. You should get that baby some TLC!

[@NintenDub]

Clean the lens with a damp qtip. That's all it prob needs. Have done it to many non reading ps2s and that was that

[@oblivieon1567]

If it's just starting to go bad you can probably adjust it and get it ok until it does go out but it's totally replaceable.

[@leecollins5479]

best thing about the mega cd is no copy protection so you can play games like snatcher that is so expensive these days

[@leecollins5479]

Best looking version to have!

[@giz644.]

That is so cool wicked congrats my friend

[@TampaTec]

Frankenstein consoles, love it. Road rash cd was my favorite. Great review 👍 edit: I just realized I watched this years ago. 😅

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah same with you 😅, Going to make an update. Have a new version. And something it coming to the channel to that wil use the full power of the Sega Tower. I think many will like this new project

[@SkateSoup]

Thats a great looking lineup you have, that Megadrive 1 is freaking pristine. A friend had this but I never did, now that I got my Polymega I can play Sega CD which has been fun. Notes otes made on the ones you showed, a couple I wouldn't have thought of, so thank you. :)

[@Chamberz55]

My cousins got this day 1, still remember playing Night Trap (at age 10) and then wondering why congress made a big stink about it. Never played the MK2 port but heard it was the best one. Great vid.

[@zockeromi1970]

I remember when it came out... 🥺

[@souljastation5463]

Wolfchild's music is good because it's an Amiga game. The Amiga had incredible audio capabilities (and talented people who wrote games soundtracks).

[@Malabus73]

True about the audio.

[@joncollins7730]

Awesome! Loved the model 1 megacd 👍 I knew someone who had Soulstar on it, absolutely loved it

[@hectormontalvo5565]

I never bought this ad on because I couldn't afford it at the moment as I had a NES, Master System, Genesis and SNES. Plus the games for each. I remember seeing it discounted at $25 but didn't buy it and I was sorry. But it's good that you have one it has several great games. Cool video Wicked!👍

[@ciochinabogdanvasile]

Damn, i feel old 😂😂😂 Hello from Romania

[@AbdullaSulaimani]

You took me back to my Sega Genesis gaming days!! Awesome!!

[@blinkachu5275]

Lucky you! I really want one of these as I love the look

[@ranchan215]

I found the usa version of the Sega CD model 1 at a New Jersey thrift store 5 years ago as a bonus Spider-Man Vs the King Pin was in the system

[@TampaTec]

I had that Sega CD version, I played night trap but not Sega 32bit drive. Yeah Sega console was basically Frankenstein.

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Cool find, I had one near release - a Japanese grey import with Earnest Evans and SolFeace. Unfortunately the lack of great games in its first year made me sell it before the greater games like Final Fight CD got released ✌️

[@duscha55]

Earnest Evans is a great game, with a awesome soundtrack. Or should we call it Earnest Vania? :D

[@themadatheist1976]

Only saw one in the wild, if I remember correctly a greeting card type of show. My friend had the model 2 with the wide Genesis.

[@TravisStamper]

That is excellent. I have been looking for one for years and still not found one yet. Thanks for the video

[@keiranninjaspirit]

Hi, there on eBay for reasonable prices best get one modded for all region games and full screen.

[@Retrobution]

Some cool things i liked about the sega classic games is the sampled voices for streets of rage. and one cool fact is sonic cd, the music for the past stages you wont be able to play from the cd (you can in the da garden menu) because the past music is playing from the megadrives audio chip, to represent the past. pretty cool

[@VertexIMG]

I've found quite a some in Japanese auction site, but they often sell for extremely expensive, even for the broken one.

[@stevans6942]

Model 1 is best looking console of all time... designer should get award.

[@SpotOn-AV]

Wouw, jij heb hem!!

[@caseyhayes4590]

people mock the MD add-ons but original MD/Genesis and original Sega/Mega CD together is the coolest looking console of all time.

[@MelancoliaI]

Model 1 is so classy. It looks like a dignified piece of hi-fi equipment for adult, discerning gamers.

[@willyarma_uk]

The power jack plugs on these devices are centre negative! be careful with replacements.

[@duscha55]

7:25 Fun fact on Classic arcade collection. They removed the option to play 2-players on Golden Axe, but i dont know why.

[@ObieDancy]

Awesome! So happy for you!

[@TronixGuy93]

Wish I still had mine. Sold it back in early 2000's.

[@3DJapan]

One of the best things about Sonic CD is the music and the intro too. Many ports don't have them.

[@devmiles]

Model 1 rocks!

[@SchlongIslandIcedTea]

The mk1 had such a commanding look, born in '97 but proud to say sega was my first console affliction. Granted I started with a mk2 and then eventually came into a mk1. It's just a wonderful console. Hell I even had 2 Dreamcasts at one point.

[@sludgebuster9677]

Thanks. I'm surprised you haven't reviewed the ODroid N2 especially as it has a giant heatsink

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Good point.. i have it here totally forgot to review it bacause I have so many different subject.

[@mlotens1976]

I had one and it seems you have a batch of fairly good games. Final Fight is definitly the best of the bunch.

[@richardheckmann1892]

I have the model two sega cd. I really like it and I think that you got lucky on finding a working one.

[@bobp6742]

I had the mega drive back in the 90s only had the original 3 button controller but found it so much easier to use upside down so the D Pad and buttons faced away from you, able to have a finger on each button to save your thumb especially with games like echo the dolphin

[@francescosmith7859]

Nice pickup! I had the model 2 when I was younger and thought it was awesome but I always thought the model 1 looked cooler.

[@michaellindqvist5288]

I have the mega CD 1 boxed in perfect condition. I bought it myself in August 1993.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

That is so cool you still own it. Don't forget to recapp it over time. Caps can leak or make your unit stop working.

[@maxrichards5925]

Congrats on getting a sega cd model 1! I heard that these were one of if not the rarest thing you could get for a model 1 genesis. I myself have a North American model 2 and the same goes for my sega cd as well. I don’t regret the set up I have currently, but I can’t say that I’m not a little bit jealous since the design of the model 1 sega cd is really nice. I think the one issue with having that sega cd is just getting it repaired as time goes on and keeping it in good shape for years to come. By the way if the buttons on the front of the sega cd don’t turn on, then I suggest getting that checked out. Usually they have a green light and the red light glow behind them but from this footage it doesn’t seem to light up. But honestly that should be the least of your worries since it actually works and your extremely lucky. But yeah I hope that you have a good time collecting for your newly acquired sega cd model 1.

[@craiggilchrist4223]

Still got my model 1 Mega CD and a fair few games still works well.

[@ZonicMirage]

It's a very nice looking machine. While the Sega CD has the same shell, I must say the Japan/Europe logo makes it more pleasing to look at overall.

[@indiaalphanovember8217]

I had the model 1 as a kid. Wish I had kept it. Was my first cd player too! haha. Althought i loved Sonic CD.... I kinda enjoyed Mickey Mania most on it the most!

[@AudioAndroid]

1:42 looks like someone loved their Model 1 SEGA CD Drive a little to much.

[@cerealconleche5245]

Lmao

[@Megalocade]

Sega megadrive is my all time favourite machine the Japanese model 1 is the best looking with the big 16 bit logo and blue reset button, so glad it was cartridge based so need to worry about cd drives wearing out i think the megadrive is the most reliable old school console out there and replacement chips ect can be found unlike the snes which has ppu issues without replacements to hand, such a shame I've had 2 snes die on me now but my original megadrive I've had since 1989 is still going strong i have one of the first models with a cartridge lock mech, i did have a mega cd once but sold it, sonic cd, kios flying squadron, mk1 and night trap were pretty awesome, i always remember being super excited about night trap as it was fmv and seeing those film cut scenes was pretty hardcore for the day especially on a 16bit console, good days.

[@princevinny0073]

😊😀 awsome collection of games for your sega CD cant belive u got most of them some of theses games cost alot :)

[@franckyrocky]

Congratulations !

[@heinyreimes]

The one I had and paid 800 gulden for it... And was sooooooo dissappointed :P... It took away so much of my love for the megadrive back then. I did love Thunderhawk and Final Fight was great... But after that it was mostly fmv games or megadrive games but now with cd music and a fmv intro/outro. With the exception of the collection disc that I also had, but I am sure Monaco GP wasn't on there.

[@fromthe90s21]

Back in the day, a good friend of mine gave it to me because it was broken. I kept it for a few months, but since I had no MD, it ended in the garbage can. It's a big regret, sure, but it's kind of a relief to tell this story here.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Nobody would see it coming that Retro Game Harware is going to be this rare and wanted. 😅

[@pistolpetereal]

I found a complete system at a yard sale for $40. Was extremely dirty but worked. I felt so bad for the dude selling it but I didn’t want to tell him it’s worth much more. Yes I own Wild Woody.

[@Malabus73]

Megadrive/Genesis was a very popular console back in the early 90's. It was the console to have.

[@AlainCovers]

thanks you sir, i wanna back in 90s

[@Pito23]

I owned it too at the time, and the 32x also... with the 60hz mod it was a must... unfortunately I usually sold the older machines to buy the newer ones, but it doesn't matter, they were good memories...

[@yayarea2415]

I got this when it came out , it’s in my garage now In the original box with my other classic consoles. Brings back memories.

[@dushy123]

I was lucky to get a pal and a ntsc US megacd 1 at the time when they were more affordable. Needed the ntsc US version for my US games because playing them with a cdx cart on a pal system, i found that the sound has a lag especially during the fmv sections. A while ago the US system started to fail because of bad capacitors,so i thought thats it,its kaput,busted,but thank heavens i was able to find someone with master soldering skills an got it back in perfect working order.I can play popfull mail without any issues anymore. Great video and informative. Greatings from a fellow dutchman.

[@themaniac5864]

i tried once. it actually performs like it was way advanced for its time. it worked very well. the one i tried it made alot of noise when spining up the CD. was that the same? i had the IR controlers... no cables :D batteries ran fast but who cares for the TV's remote? as kid we were the remotes xD

[@philipdavis_ie]

That little slider clip down the left of the SegaCD unit is for the stereo lead from the MegaDrive front headphone jack I believe

[@TheRacheakt]

I regret selling my Model 1 Sega CD

[@redneckreviews3016]

I had model one. With lunar the Silver Star and popful mail and shining force cd. Not happy I sold all that

[@rockfresh5359]

​@@redneckreviews3016I just bought a fat ps2 and modded it got tons of games now

Im glad I didnt waste my money on it. The OG PlayStation came out a few years later and easily my favorite system.

please tell me can you buy another one that would work

[@turainerendezvous7958]

Very good i like your all collection, Great job

[@bbgothviolator8953]

loved the model 1 sega cd. I never new anyone that owned it in the 90s, only the side loaded segacd drives. Loved the segacd, was just a magical console. One of my faavorite games was Adventures of Willy Beamish. Keep hoping it gets a remaster at some poiint

[@3DJapan]

I preferred the one with the CD drive on the side. I thought it looked more sleek and stylish. The stacked version looked very bulky to me.

[@senortonaste7340]

Congrats 🥳🥳🥳 ...👺👍

Congrats. I still have my original first gen Genesis and model 1 Sega Cd and I love it. I also have a working and a none working spare just in case it dies.

[@craigdavidson5613]

I consider myself lucky for getting a Sega Mega CD Model I. I had just gotten a Mega Drive from a local Charity Shop for $5AU. So basically I decided to get the add-ons for completists' sake. The Mega CD I got from a British seller, and the 32X I got from eBay. And let me tell you, I am proud of owning the complete set. It's worth it!

[@absinthe4breakfast299]

I picked one of these up last year, I got extra lucky as mine was the model with the JVC CD drive, only about 10% of systems had JVC drives all the rest had Sony drives and don't seem to be as durable . It's a beautiful system but getting games for it isn't easy or cheap.

[@Waffle_the_Great]

Well, can always download them and burn them. Sega CD has no protection as piracy wasn't practical back then. I still have my original system and a spare backup I got cheap before retro became the craze.

[@samaneta]

@@Waffle_the_Great wow....

[@patrickholt8782]

Ah the model 1 cd. Once set up it looks like some serious audiophile equipment.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah.. it looks awesome indeed !

[@HB-mj2jz]

Ik own the mega cd 2. Bought it years ago for 20 euros. Been using it again since 2 months when i bought the Analogue Mega SG. Awesome for changing the bios to usa (with software on the SG so no chips or modding needed) and just play usa backups. No issues with expensive games or slow pal versions :)

[@murderdoggg]

My roommate had one of these back in the day. I remember buying the Tiger Woods golf game, because it had a hidden file you read with a PC CD-ROM. This file was the "Jesus vs Santa" South Park episode in all it's glory. Edit - Upon further review. It seems I may have crossed the memory with a Playststion memory. - will delete

Why didn't we get more convenient sized jewel cases like that in America? We got the tall rectangular ones, and they cracked easy.

[@Sinn0100]

I started gaming back in 1986 with the Nes and Master System. However, I didn't become a hardcore player until the release of the Sega Genesis in 1989. The second I saw both Altered Beast and Ghouls n' Ghosts running on my Genesis that was it...I was no longer a casual. The Model 1 Sega Genesis coupled with the Model 1 Sega CD looks like very high-end stereo equipment today. Back in 1992 there was nothing on the market that looked as sleek as the Genesis w/Sega CD.

[@lucasledesma2249]

As regards of controllers’ shape, my favorite will always be the infra red one. Yeah, I know the signal is a problem these days but size and shape are like the best of six button and 3 button controllers together.

[@iloveesr]

i had one of these. good times.

[@Retrobution]

i love the mk1 mega cd. i had the mega cd 2 second hand back in the day (just before the saturn was released). really enjoyed it but the mk1 was the style i liked, really complimented the mega drive mk1. the only trouble is my mk1 mega cd.. the sega logo boots but the console freezes and wont do anything else :(

[@WickedGamerCollector]

MK1 .. almost bought it only noticed some things of the game I did not like to be honest. Ow and I need to 80 euro's for it incomplete... that doesn't help either 🙄

I live in America so I played the Sega Genesis. Model 1 of Sega CD the only game I know that had an issue was Mortal Kombat CD. People had to buy the game and mail away it back to the company for a working copy. Sega CD model 2 did not have this issue.

[@azndrgnboi34]

I really like the Model 1 because it looks so pro when you attach it to the Genesis. I still have mine that's in perfect condition. In fact I also have the CDX in Mint Condition!

I play SEGA-CD on the Retroad 5 Plus from Ali-Express with the MD Extension Converter and a Mega Everdrive Pro. I just can't get cutscene audio. It has HDMI out as well and different aspect ratios. I think I could even use my 8bitdo SNES dongle and the 8bitdo m30 bluetooth controller. Never tried but I will have to check. The layout may be wrong. Not sure.
