DOWN AND DIRTY REVIEWS: SEGA CD
This one system ain't too bad. The Sega CD still had alot of good and unique games for it like the Lunar series, Sonic CD, and Snatcher. Forget about those FMV games though, I can't think of any good ones out there and there are plenty of them for the Sega CD unfortunately. Look at all those rare games down there, eh?
The score are out of 100.

Score / Name
90 ARCADE CLASSICS (Sega)
This CDX exclusive 5 in 1 CD even has the sound improved in these already great games. The five games are Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Super Monoco GP, Revenge of Shinobi, and Columns. Not too bad, eh?
For 1 or 2players.

51 AFTERBURNER III (Sega, 1994)
A fairly basic 3Dflight game. It's not has intense has the real arcade Afterburner and the background graphics look horrible after the cool zoom in with cockpit view. The retro remixed music was cool though. You could do worse but you could also do alot better.
For 1player only

54 DUNGEON EXPLORER (Hudson Soft/West Stone, 1995)

45 ETERNAL CHAMPIONS: Challenge From The Dark Side (Sega/Deep Water, 1996)
