Ran across an article about that controversial game Night Trap on the Sega cd and it reminded me of middle school when I got straight A’s (a rarity for me) because my parents said if I did I could get a gaming system so I picked the Sega cd since it was the newest thing. We get to the checkout and my dad sees on the box that it can’t run unless it’s connected to the Genesis. So we got that too. Sega cd flopped and I ended up playing the Genesis until I got a job in high school and got the PS1.
Any of y’all ever have a Sega cd, Neo geo, turbo Grafix, lynx, CD-I, etc?

On top of that, AT&T reneged on an internet contract, and EAs president refused to allow their games on the console.
