 DW FACTS
by Dark Watcher |
In 1991, Sega released the Mega CD, an add-on for its popular Sega Genesis console. Though an innovative creation, it was not
considered a total success. A number of factors prevented the Sega CD from attaining a dominant position in the videogame market
at the time. The initial high price prevented the add-on from selling well. With the competition heating up, Sega released the
Multi-Mega (CDX in North America) in April of 1994.
The Multi-Mega was a single unit that combined both the Genesis and the Sega CD into a single unit. The sleek design was
slightly larger then a normal CD Player. Unfortunately, the $399 was a severe deterrent, especially when the standard gamer
could pick up the Sega CD and Genesis for far less. Overall, a great system but more work (and money) than its worth to us
standard gamers. |
