Sega’s newer system has some hardware advantages versus the Turbo CD… advantages which Japanese games did not always take advantage of. Sega failed to take over the CD market in Japan, and the TGCD easily won there, but it did do well in the US. It was also a pre-emptive strike against Nintendo’s upcoming SNES CD.

The Sega CD was Sega’s answer to the Turbografx CD (PC Engine CD in Japan), which was successful and gaining in strength when the Sega CD released in 1991. Still, for the games that do support it, the very large size of the memory cart is fantastic. Unlike the Turbografx CD, there are no shmups or shooting games which support saving your high scores to the system, for example. Games which use the scaling and rotation hardware often look quite nice, as well.Īs I mentioned, The Sega CD has 8KB of internal rechargeable battery-backed save RAM for game saves, and also has a memory cartridge, the Sega CD Backup RAM Cart, for a much larger save space - it’s 128KB! Unfortunately almost no action games support any kind of saving it’s mostly only used by FMV games, sports games, and RPGs. It is real, moving video, though, which was an accomplishment at the time. The additional RAM makes video fairly easy, though hardware restrictions, and the Genesis 64-color limit, mean that video often has only 8-16 colors in it. The system also has save memory in it, and some additional hardware as well - in addition to some more RAM, the Sega CD has hardware scaling and rotation support, unlike the Genesis. The system attaches to the Sega Genesis, and, as the name suggests, plays CD games. The Sega CD was released in late 1991 in Japan, fall 1992 in the US, and 1993 in Europe.
