See my related post on the Genesis forum.
Basically I tried out several hundred genesis games in emulation so I could decide which ones I wanted to buy.
Unfortunately the process wasn't so easy for the SegaCD, at least not on a dial-up internet connection. I ended up just basing my choices off of many reviews, rather than actually trying things out.
(change of thought)
Ok actually I took the brute force approach and decided I'd try them all, considering segacd games are dirt cheap anyway, as are genny games, but you can actually count the total number of cd shooters/sims on two hands or less... And I figured that even if the game sucks the soundtrack will probably make up for it. I've always enjoyed segacd music.
So rather than just list every segacd game in this post, I'll just ask for a recommendation on a couple of the iffy ones on my list:
Mega Race: The graphics look good, but reviews say gameplay sucks. I remember tyring this out in 3do many years ago, and not liking it. Recommend I buy or avoid?
Devastator (japanese shooter): I already have every other shooter on my list, but this one seems difficult to find, and I read one review that said it wasn't any good. Recommend I buy or not bother?
Crime Patrol, Mad Dog 1, 2: These games require the ALG gamegun, which is expensive to get, so unless I get a gamegun, I won't bother. But I"m not sure if these games are fun enough to warrant getting a gamegun? I loved the lethal enforcer games.
Well, the subject of this posts says "my pics", so if you care, my pics are every single segacd shooter, sonic cd, EC, road rash, LE 1&2, final fight, and an occasional FMV (cobra command, rebal assault, sewer shark, Ranma, UY), batman returns & robin, thunderstrike).
