Best Retro Console?
dmckean:
My brother bought the Sega CD and loved it, but he was almost exclusively into JRPGs. I also don't think he got it until it was $200.

I loved it too, and I liked Sewer Shark. Never could manage to beat "Ground Zero:Texas" . I got close, the trick was the leave the shields up and still pick off the aliens but I still never saw the end. Only other FMV game I thought was neat was Tomcat Alley. I thought the LaserDisc ports were pretty good considering and Road Avenger/Blaster was the best one.
Night Trap and Double Switch weren't fun to me. Final Fight CD was the best home port short of emulation, the Lunar games and Vay were great RPGs, everyone is going to tell you about Snatcher but it really is the best version of the game along with the tg16 one. Sonic CD was the first Sonic game I really got into. Everyone here knows I have a boner for Eternal Champions CD but I remember buying Fatal Fury Special for Sega CD and being blown away.
Other great titles include: Popful Mail, lords of thunder, Mickey Mania, Soulstar, Terminator, Shining Force, Keio, Silpheed, Shining Force, Batman Returns (the driving game) , Earthworm Jim, etc
Dark Wizard is probably the best Sega CD you've never played or heard of. Its a slow paced tactical RPG (ie Ogre Battle) but its pretty great.
The real stinkers are the FMV games, and the games that are genny ports with FMVs added (and nothing else), and games that get completely crippled by load times(Willy Beamish, Mortal Kombat CD).
