im debating on buying a sega cd and a 32x... are they worth it? |
| bikingjahuty:
I know a lot of people might disagree with me, but I'd say no to both, but each of them for a different reason. Sega CD: They are notoriously unreliable consoles, especially the model 1, and the games are very hard to find. You'll likely be going to Ebay to get most of the good games, but it'll cost you. 32X: It has a very small and mostly unimpressive library of games. Many of the games have better ports on other consoles. Bottom line, if you can wrangle these consoles and the games for them for cheap go for it, but unless you really have a thing for either I'd pass. |

The sega cd isn't too bad on reliability it's usually an easy cheap fix, just a fuse. I rather like the cd too, Earthworm Jim Special Edition, Snatcher, Shining Force there are a couple good Shooters and JRPG's as well The 32X is ok it's good on it's sega arcade ports and some decent platformers. Just make sure you get the extension cable if your using it with a Model 1 genesis |

The Sega CD is cool to have because it has no copy protection. You can easily find ISOs of all the games on the internet and download/burn the ones you have already legitimately purchased. For backup purposes, obviously. You should never ever abuse this ability to burn any game you want because that's horrible and illegal and immoral and I would never do that on a constant basis. |

IMO, no. You need to be a Sega die hard. I've got both. Too hard to find outside of eBay. Unimpressive libraries, mostly. With the SCD, snagging the top regarded games (of which aren't very many) will run about two grand, otherwise there is an absurd amount of FMV crap, and a few decent ports. SCD is actually what got me into collecting, but in retrospect, not really worth it. :P |
