Hi all, I've always leaned towards the Genesis but there is NO denying the amazing RPG library on the SNES. I am looking for some quality RPGs, cart only in the $10-$20 range online. So far all I can think of in this price range is Illusion of Gaia and Ys III. If titles are cheap, but lackluster ple...

Forgot, also look into Sol-Feace & Microcosm for shooters.

Try the GOAT store. Dan who runs it is a good guy. Just realize the pics aren't always the actual item (several in stock) but he labels condition of each product well. It should be a tad cheaper than ebay. Link to Sega CD section on GOAT: http://www.goatstore.com/Products/Sega/Sega_CD/ Of course you...

Try using RF cable on your model 2. I personally never use RF but it might bypass the video issue.

I'm surprised, my model 1 & 2 SS consoles are beast. No issues.

Awesome man!

Be really careful about the power supply. Do some research. It has odd specs. The wrong one will fry it. Saw a YouTube vid where someone found one almost identical at Radio Shack. Try Game Trog's sega power supply guide. Good stuff.

Sega CD laser unit isn't the best for shipping so the seller needs to pack it to survive a blast, ha! Same with most older optical systems though. Shoot the seller a PM & request heavy packing. I managed to buy a Sega CD locally via Craigslist. Luckily. I wouldnt risk as is/untested postings unl...

Playing Phantasy Star IV on PS2 on Sega Collection. Great picture, awesome sound, seamless saving. I own a Genesis, just not this cart. AWESOME GAME. 2/3 way through.

Beat Dragon Quest V on DS last month!

If some of the Sega CD games you want are the RPGs or Dune, plan on likely repairing the system internal save battery. Requires soldering. Also look into a backup save RAM cart. With patience, I got mine for $18 IIRC. This will allow you transfer large save blocks from the internal memory to the RAM...

Anyone enjoy Fragile Dreams? I've been considering picking it up. Looks like a dark, horror RPG on Wii.
