Your post gave me a quarter chub.

I was a Sega fanboy until I dropped $300 of my hard earned money on a Sega CD at launch. Popped in Sewer Shark....sucked. Popped in Night Trap....sucked. Money wasted. I kept thinking "it has to be better than this". I felt further ripped off by each game purchased with two exceptions: Road Rash and Sol-Feace. The soundtracks added value to those games, but not enough to justify a $300 upgrade.
pbj:
Wasn’t $300 by the time Sewer Shark dropped, iirc.
I paid $90 for my model 2, and $18 for any two games I wanted from Sam Goody.
I owned almost the entire library by the end of it… But I passed on Snatcher.
Oh well.
:cheers:

Only a quarter?

I feel your pain. I never actually got one back in the day, but I can remember thinking that majority of titles released for it seemed like such a disappointing bunch. Such a shame Sega seemed more interested in releasing crappy FMV titles on the Sega CD, rather than releasing some arcade ports that could really take advantage of the system's scaling and rotation abilities. Would've been great to have seen some fully Sega CD optomised ports of stuff like Outrun, After Burner and Galaxy Force (let's just not talk about the terrible Afterburner 3 game that came out on it...). A proper Sega CD optomised version of Golden Axe would've been cool too, rather than the weird single player only, more-or-less straight MD port the system got.
