Mega CD

The Sega Mega CD, known as the Sega CD in North America, is a CD-ROM addon for the Sega Megadrise console, released in 1991. It’s a game changer, literally, as it allows the Megadrise to play CD-based games, offering superior audio and video quality compared to the standard cartridge-based games. The Mega CD attaches to the underside of the Megadrise, expanding its capabilities and bringing a new level of multimedia experience to the console. With games like Sonic CD, Streets of Rage 2 (with its iconic soundtrack), and the infamous Night Trap, the Mega CD has become a sought-after addition to the Megadrise library, offering a unique gaming experience that’s still cherished by retro gaming enthusiasts today.
