I wasn't much of a Sega fan throughout the 90's (I threw my support behind Nintendo, because that's where Squaresoft was), but in the 2000's, I started grabbing up the Sega consoles and games I missed out on as a teenager. I love the look of the Franken-system (Genesis+Sega CD+32X) set up on a shelf next to the television, and it always gets some odd looks and "WTFs" from people who've not seen it before. Got a couple of the Sega CD 32X titles as well, but they're really not that different from the original versions, save for a slightly better color palette, as far as I can tell. At least that's true for Night Trap and Corpse Killer. Who knows...Slam City with Scottie Pippen may be a (ahem) whole new ball game. ;)

Thank you, thank you, I'll see myself out...

I was into Nintendo originally also. I had the NES and then waited for the SNES before going on the the 16-bit generation. I remember reading about the planned CD add-on for the SNES in EGM and was really looking forward to it. Of course, that never materialized and it ultimately became the PlayStation which I did eventually get. Ironically, Nintendo's next system would still be cartridge based. I also eventually got a Genesis and Sega CD (I had a Game Gear early on) but always thought the Sega CD was a disappointment. It did have a handful of really good games but there were just far too few.

I still have one of these buried away somewhere, though one of my Mega Drive II consoles went the way of the dodo (moisture/mold).

Pretty sure I have a Master System Converter around here, too.

Never had the CD, though.

I loved Sega games. They had wonderful, cheerful colors in them.
