The Sega CD, released as the Mega-CD[ in most regions outside North America and Brazil, is a CD-ROM accessory for the Sega Genesis designed and produced by Sega as part of the fourth generation of video game consoles. It was released on December 12, 1991 in Japan, October 15, 1992 in North America, and April 2, 1993 in Europe. The Sega CD plays CD-based games and adds hardware functionality such as a faster central processing unit and graphic enhancements. It can also play audio CDs and CD+G discs.
The main benefit of CD technology was greater storage, which allowed for games to be nearly 320 times larger than Genesis cartridges. This benefit manifested as full motion video (FMV) games such as the controversial Night Trap, which became a focus of the 1993 congressional hearings on issues of video game violence and ratings. Sega of Japan partnered with JVC to design the Sega CD and refused to consult with Sega of America until the project was complete. Sega of America assembled parts from various "dummy" units to obtain a working prototype. It was redesigned several times by Sega and licensed third-party developers.
While the Sega CD became known for several well received games such as Sonic CD and Lunar: Eternal Blue, its game library contained many Genesis ports and poorly received FMV games. 2.24 million Sega CD units were sold by March 1996, after which Sega discontinued the system to focus on the Sega Saturn. Retrospective reception is mixed, with praise for individual games and additional functions, but criticism for its lack of deep games, high price, and support from Sega.
My back story was I got this for Xmas from my teacher at my PA high school where I was staying at the time I mainly use it as my CD player when ever I draw in my dorm. I have all time of Sega CD models Model 1 (image shown) and Model 2 side loader. Model 3 a stand alone CD player was lost but will try to get it back someday.

Thats awsome. I still have my "first gen' Sega CD from when it first came out, still works too as I every once in a while take it out and fire it up, kept and stored in the original box it came in. Though I had several games including the ones it came with, the most played were Sonic CD and one called Wolfchild.
