Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sega CDX - Video Game Console
Customer Review: Two video game libraries on one console. Too bad it didn't last!
Summary: 4 Stars
Most video game aficionados will tell you that it's important to not only remember the roots of home video game consoles, but to own a few of them as well. There is no better way to play Sega CD games and Sega cartridge-based games than on this little unit.
I have owned mine for (gasp) 12 years, it's taken the licking and keeps on ticking.
This has to be one of the smallest gaming consoles I have ever owned. The Sega CDX is roughly the same size as the Heroes - Season One box set. For the folks that want to save game progress, you'll be pleased to know this is compatible with the Sega CD Back Up Ram Cart, and will even allow you to play music CD's. All your old Sega cartridges should work on it, and it also has a headphone jack, similar to the one on the Genesis system.
Now for the drawbacks.
First and foremost, the Sega CD games and the cartridge games are not easy to come by. You'll have to either search around in Amazon or eBay to find the best games for your collection, or find a video game retailer that specializes in older systems.
Secondly, the Sega CD games are not all that great. They get extremely repetitive after a while, and most of the games were created to show the player that Sega was the first system to support full motion video - but all this amounts to is 16-bit gameplay intermixed with a lot of grainy video footage. To be honest, some of the rarer games provide a lot of laughs, such as Supreme Warrior or the game that caused the creation of the ESRB, Night Trap (Unrated Version).
Also, there is also some debate as to whether or not this system is compatible with the Sega 32X Unit. Apparently the 32X has metal prongs that need to be inserted into the cartridge interface for the 32X cartridges or the 32X Sega CD games to work. I'm not sure about you, but I don't feel safe putting metal into a video game system...that sounds a little too much like putting a paper clip into a light socket. With my luck, this would probably lead to the unit getting damaged beyond repair, with no retailer to fix it. I'll leave that choice up to you.
Since this unit takes up considerably less space than the original Sega console with the Sega CD add-on, I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take a trip down memory lane, back when Sonic the Hedgehog was king of the consoles. Enjoy!
Description of Sega CDX - Video Game Console
This system is awesome. You can play genesis games, sega cd games and audio cds all in one small beautiful compact unit!!! (It cannot play 32X games and it is not recomended that you use the 32X add-on with this unit for stability purposes. However, 32X doesn't have many good games anyway so it's not a big loss) This is probably the BEST version of Sega Genesis ever made! When it first came out it had a price tag of almost four hundred dollars.Digital Cameras and Photo Categories
