A system that, in some ways, felt ahead of its time as it allowed you to upgrade your console as if it were a PC. It certainly seemed like something I wasn't supposed to have... so I didn't have it! Most of my Sega CD exposure was honestly from this:
I saw stuff like Sewer Shark with real people being used in videos, and my mouth dropped.
That said, being young, I never really knew when consoles were releasing, so I didn't know when Sega CD launched, just that it was available. And looking back, I don't think I missed out on tons, though it would have been neat to have played Sonic CD back in the day. It certainly looks better overall than the 32X, and it launched with Night Trap, which is one of the weirdest games to me because so many people think it's bad, but it was popular enough to resurrect this year as an anniversary edition.
I'm pretty sure I would have been terrible at the game had I played it when the system launched. I may very well be terrible if I play it now. =P
