Wheel of Fortune (CD)

For a quarter century, Vanna White has been making a fortune turning letters on a wall, even after technology had long made her obsolete. The popularity of Wheel of Fortune has endured for decades, and many a gaming platform has had its own version in some form or another. The Sega CD was no exception, but whatever charm and magic made the show such a hit was completely lost in this horrible version.

Top Gear 2

Finished OutRun? Know Micro Machines like the back of your hand? Well, perhaps it’s time to try Top Gear 2. While it might not match the sheer quality of the two aforementioned titles, it’s actually a pretty decent little racer that should be easy to find.

Revolution X

They say music is the weapon, and if that’s true, then Revolution X is a nuclear bomb. Dull, repetitive gameplay with some of the worst renditions of popular music you’ll hear on cartridge is rounded out by a total lack of light gun compatibility. That’s right friends, Revolution X is a shooting game that doesn’t use any of the Genesis light guns. Still feeling crazy? Think you’re livin’ on the edge? Well, that’s amazin’! Head on over to the other side then, and read our full review for all the crazy details, and hurry before I die from this hole in my soul (or before I squeeze in more Aerosmith song references).

Primal Rage

Normally, it would seem that nothing could top dinosaurs and other massive beasts fighting each other to the death. Heck, it’s what made all those Godzilla movies so great! Time Warner attempted to capitalize on this success with Primal Rage, but the results were less than satisfying. Clumsy gameplay and difficult control left it far short of the animalistic Street Fighter many gamers were hoping for.

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck (CD)

When most people think of the Sega CD, they think of full-motion video games. Yeah, there’s more than a fair share of those on the add-on, but there are also a lot of quality titles, including some great platformers. Some games, like the CD version of Chuck Rock II, are more than just cartridge games with CD soundtracks. There are lots of neat visual effects and one cool cinematic intro sequence that makes this the definitive version to own.
