Top 10 Sega CD Games

[@manoelcrisostomoferreira9462]

The transition sound is too loud.

[@davejohn3600]

Nice to see Thunderstrike on the list. Loved that game. One of the few that the cut scenes actually mattered. You had to listen to the mission briefings to know what to do. A fun game at was ahead of it's time in a lot of ways.

[@petemk73]

With regards to Snatcher, the original version ended at the end of chapter 2 (with Harry dying & Gillian vowing to avenge his death). The third chapter was added for western audiences, specifically for the MegaCD. This also entiled removing or editing a few scenes of nudity (dead female Snatcher & Katrina in the shower). It's also the reason the 3rd chapter has a 25-minute section of pure exposition and nearly no player interaction.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Great list! Plenty of good reasons to own a Sega CD. I'm glad I got one and I have most of the games on the list even an original Snatcher! I also have to mention Terminator Popful Mail, the Lunar Series and Earthworm Jim, The Adventures of Batman & Robin and even Pier Solar with the Music CD disc.

[@wizzgamer]

+SDFcommander Thanks:) The Sega CD does have some awesome games for it.

[@screenwriter7094]

Personally, I always preferred Digital Pictures and full motion games. I really liked the titles Sewer Shark, Fahrenheit, Ground Zero Texas, Night Trap, Rise of the Dragon, Tomcat Alley, Supreme Warrior, and Corpse Killer.

[@frankiebeans8055]

To this day I always get out snatcher and play around the holidays. Snow 9 and Christmas music.

[@mannyramirez3070]

What no Dark Wizard, best Sega CD game and one of my favorite ALL TIME games for ANY SYSTEM to date!!!

[@stephanbell7831]

Top 10 game for me aswell. So much depth and grinding for a strategy RPG. And amazing soundtrack

[@darthbargas]

Dark Wizard is my favorite game of all time, and I owned alot of different systems. No game kept me up all night and kept me glued to my controller like that! Needs a remake or sequel on a modern system

[@Mysterygrimms]

Agreed!!!!

[@Retrochipsgames]

No keio flying squadron!

[@boba_rhett]

Great list. I had about half of those in the 90s.

[@wizzgamer]

Thanks :)

[@wavefront9221]

I kind of wish that the Sega CD had been marketed more for its sprite transformation capabilities than FMV. The games that utilize the extra hardware run circles around Mode 7.

[@BurnOmatic]

[@miguelkourie2200]

Great list! I also suggets you to play Popful Mail, it's a great game!! :)

[@squishybearguts2321]

No credibility in this list without Eternal Champions CD, which is probably one of the best fighting games ever

[@fabio78]

Squishy Bear Guts lol what?

[@CODEBERT1]

True. I can't believe they haven't made an updated version or anything as good as Eternal Champions CD.

[@PoutingTrevor]

It's refreshing to see a different list of top 10 games.

[@PaulRockey]

Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco the tides of time...by far my favorite games on any sega console. Too bad the Dreamcast one was deeply flawed.

[@PaulRockey]

Wow, I wrote this four years ago. I found out this year that all the problems with the Dreamcast game were fixed with the PS2 version. Defender of the Future on ps2 is a worthy follow-up to the two Ecco masterpieces on Sega CD.

[@johntracy72]

Shining Force CD was a great game. I also liked Dark Wizard and the Lunar games, which I thought were better on Sega CD than on Playstation.

[@wizzgamer]

+john tracy Yeah there was some great Role playing games on the Sega CD

[@johntracy72]

+wizzgamer I am an RPG fan. My favorites are Chrono Trigger, Lufia I and II, Breath of Fire I and II on Super NES, Phantasy Star VI on Sega Genesis (a game that would have been even better on Sega CD) Grandia, Alundra, Final Fantasy VII, Suikoden I and II on Playstation 1, the Dragon Warrior/Quest series, the Legend of Zelda series, the first three Wild Arms games on Playstation 1 and 2, Skies of Arcadia (GameCube version as I didn't have a Sega Dreamcast).

[@wizzgamer]

+john tracy Would have been great if they had released a enhanced version of Phantasy Star IV for the Sega CD with added voice overs and FMV clips. But it would have sold poorly if it was released on the Sega CD only as originally planned. Final Fantasy VIII is my favourite over the others as I became more attached to the characters in that one.

[@dominickagapov7053]

+john tracy sounds like we played RPGs around the same time. Have you tried Beyond the Beyond, on PS1? I think it was the first RPG on the PS1

[@johntracy72]

+Dominick Agapov I recently bought Beyond the Beyond for Playstation again. I didn't think to highly of it 19 years ago, but playing through it again, I think it was actually pretty good for the time. One similarity it had to Lunar The Silver Star and Lunar Eternal Blue was that your main character had a dragon. Also, later on, the Golden Sun games had a similar battle engine to Beyond the Beyond as Camelot made both games.

[@mktmajor2003]

Sewer shark and Jurassic Park have to be on the list

[@HTSupermaNIP]

[@EDGar-wi6np]

Thank you for the info, such a cool song. Also, great list, I pretty much agree with it!

[@Godzillaz264]

final fight belongs to the Top 3 of the support. However, I keep only Final fight, snatcher, sonic and shining force from your top 10 then I would complete the top with some shmup or plateformer from japan or europ area.

[@davidcarlton2513]

No terminator?

[@MrFeyerwire]

Haha, I know that you never claimed that the games on this list would be affordable, but Snatcher will run you about as much as a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga and to be honest, I would rather have the later for the investment. A game which was well ahead of its years for the SNES, was Uncharted Waters New Horizons.

[@wizzgamer]

True its sad how a lot of amazing games have Sky rocketed 🚀 but that's sadly mainly down to KZbinrs making them more well known and the prices rise. Snatchers a phenomenal game shame it's so pricey although most Sega CD games are creeping up now. Never heard of Uncharted Waters will have to check it out sometime.

[@Mechakick]

I've seen Snatcher for around $400 & Saga runs well over a grand!! Wow am I lucky I have both those games already, grabbed PDS the day it was released. The store only got two copies.

[@Renegaiden_]

Where dis you get that Labyrinth zone remix from?

[@axelfoley20]

Agreed, Snatcher was my fav Sega CD game. I'm not an RPG guy so I'm sure there are good or great RPGs on Sega CD too but I don't play them.

[@jplopez76]

i was too poor for a Sega CD =(

[@parapoliticos52]

Sega cd and 32x were the big and fatal mistakes by Sega.They created 2 add ons that were 2x as expensive as a console which could only be used by existing owners of genesis. It could have used those resources to develop the new 32 bit cd-rom console instead. It would have had a year lead to Playstation and 3-4 years lead to Nintendo's new console.

[@parapoliticos52]

@Anonymous It was as expensive as Playstation . More as PlayStation price dropped.

[@overnightdelivery]

@Mr. Sega and Mr. 3DO If anybody at Sega took the 32x seriously, it would have been really great. Not Saturn great but better than Sega CD. But they were hoping the market was big enough for Saturn and 32x. It wasn't.

[@ViceAdmiralMando]

What is the name of the game that involves four people including a lead, a big strong man, young girl and a wizard? It took place in Middle Place during Crusade time.

[@Pizone81]

Where did this version of the labyrinth zone music come from

Where are the lunar games?

[@elbryan42]

Great list, but I think a top 15 list with Earthworm Jim: Special Edition, Out of this World, both Lunar games, and Popful Mail would be even greater. :)

[@wizzgamer]

Thanks in hindsight Earthworm Jim should have made the top 10 never mind 15. As for the other games you mentioned I haven't played them due to them not being released in the U.K however I plan to buy a region converter sometime to play them so could revisit this system with a Top 25 someday.

[@FoodforThought12345678dsds]

No night trap or desert strike???

[@mattx5499]

The only advantage of CD medium back then was some animations and enhanced music. It was similar nonsense as Amiga CDTV and CD32. The main problem is underpowered hardware which can't do much with the CD-ROM capacity.

[@benjaminzuniga5750]

Men the mega cd featured for scaling, rotation and much other fx like SNES but much powerfull

[@mattx5499]

@@benjaminzuniga5750 Maybe it had the power to do some crazy things, but how many games used that? Amiga CD32 could play mpeg video CDs back in 1993, but I don't know anybody who watched movies on it. Some games used this for intros that were less than minute long. The first console that really used the CD format was PS1. It was used for multitrack music and sound effects, textures, 3D animation and cutscenes. Some of the games were released on more than one disc. Before that the CD medium was a waste of money. Except audio CDs of course.

[@rkla887]

No "Working Design" games? I loved Lunar and Popful Mail

A Lot of great games couldn't make it into the Top 10 unfortunately.

[@TheCrederer]

What was the difference between this and genesis? The graphics seem the same. I've never owned Sega CD, but had a genesis and can't tell the difference.

[@Mechakick]

I think the graphics are the same specs but you do get a Mode 7 type of background plane and it can project video behind the sprites from what I can read into the graphics from the games I have. The games do benefit from the huge storage space available on the CD. If you have a TG-CD it is a similar platform, but a slight edge in graphics to the TG-CD. Some of the Sega CD games are very, very good... but you can say that for Genesis also.

[@jblack5323]

[@yjzep9922]

As an avid Sega CD gamer, How can you list Silpheed and not Lords of Thunder or Robo Aleste! The Terminator, Earthworm Jim special edition, Dungeon Explorer (Hack and Slash between Gauntlet and Diablo), Popful Mail. Whole slew of RPGs incl Lunar 1&2, Eye of the beholder, Vay, Dungeon Master 2, Dark Wizard. Im my opinion Batman returns and Spiderman are crap compared to every game I listed, and I even like those games!

[@wizzgamer]

At the time of making the video I had not played a lot of the games you have mentioned especially as I'm from the U.K and some of them are U.S exclusive. However I have been spending some time with the Sega Mega CD and it's vast array of titles and will be making a Top 25 Sega CD video in the future where these games will definitely feature.

[@yjzep9922]

wizzgamer ahh since the title didn't say mega cd i assumed you were American. Funny, I am actually paused playing spider man as we speak because I saw this lol.

[@nexxusty]

Fuck a Popful Mail.

[@Mr3DLC]

nexxusty I agree it was awful

[@ScubaDiverPicker]

YJZep Final Fight CD is my favorite Sega CD game. I say Terminator def deserves to be on the list. Batman returns is an awesome game I'd have to disagree. Popful Mail I'm just not a fan of.

[@whobitmyname]

Lunar, dude.

[@gregmottola8539]

For all the Sega CD's increased frames, fluid movement, and killer sound, the graphics were always limited by the Genesis' pathetic color palate. We thought that the CD would enhance this defect. It didn't. And BTW, no Rise of the Dragon?

[@wizzgamer]

I agree the lack of colour on the Genesis/Sega CD was a big drawback especially for FMV games.

[@MalevolentBeak]

Holy hell, the music, the volume. SEGA is all caps, btw.

[@Detudo]

Fatal Fury Special do Sega CD é bom?

[@InsideSmoke]

No Lunar?

[@dpuchalski1]

I remember being highly disappointed in Silpheed, and well, most Sega CD games. Joe Montana Football was not worth the wait. Most port-over games only had improvements in sound, and the "extra plane" of graphics that Sega CD boasted, thus making games like NHL Hockey and NBA Jam only a little bit better. I was a big fan of Batman Returns--the driving levels and soundtrack were nice, showing glimpses of what the system could really do, which was basically what Super NES was already doing. Trying to get excited about games like Jurassic Park and even Sherlock Holmes was hard to do when they were painfully plagued by slowdown. As an 18 year old, I wanted to like Sega CD but overall it was a very expensive letdown. I don't even know if I could come up with my own top 10. Maybe a top 10 list of games that were just "OK." I might have owned a total of 10 games.

[@wizzgamer]

Silpheed was an awesome shump and Sonic CD and snatcher were must haves but your right a lot of games offered barely anything over their Mega Drive counterparts other than CD quality music and sound.
