Black Hole Assault is a Mega-CD title released in October 1992. The game is a one-on-one fighter with anime-styled cut-scenes that contain the game’s plot. Interestingly, a PC Engine version was released in July 1993 and contains different dialogue in its’ cut-scenes.
In the following video, we take a look at the cut-scenes from both versions of the game and showcase the differences.
In our latest addition to the SEGADriven YouTube Channel we take a look at our Mega-CD collection and answer questions proposed to us by our Twitter followers. Check it out below:

We reported on the new press of Bug Blasters and Star Strike for Mega-CD recently. Being the avid Mega-CD collectors that we are, we went and picked up both games for ourselves. Below is a small video feature we’ve done on both games. Check it out if obscure Mega-CD games is your cup of tea! WARNING: Some bad language is featured:

Star Strike and Bug Blasters are 2 Mega-CD games released long after the console’s demise. Their original print ocurred in 2001 in an extremely limited European run of 5 copies each by Good Deal Games.
A user called mr_gibbage over at Retro Collect has managed to secure the rights to the games and has produced a much larger run of 100 copies which is available to purchase from eBay now. The games are on-rails/FMV shooters in the same vain of games like Cobra Command and Sewer Shark.
1UP have released a special article to mark the 20th anniversary of the North American release of the Mega-CD (known as the SEGA-CD in that territory). It’s a cool little read and they name a handful of their favourite games, some of which are US exclusive.
Subscribers to our YouTube channel will know I’m a big fan of the Mega-CD and love collecting for it. It’s a home to my favourite Sonic game ever and there’s a certain allure to collecting for it as the games are usually quite experimental in nature.
This is the first video in a new series where we look at great Mega-CD games (and trust me, they are few and far between). In this video we take a look at Shadow of the Beast II by Reflections:
Let us know what you think! Like our new intro? We want to know!
Pier Solar, the massive new Mega Drive RPG from Water Melon Co. is now back in stock. The version in stock is the reprint edition that features the old-school, black square artwork that Mega Drive fans will know from earlier releases.
However, the reprint edition does not come with the CD soundtrack that is optional to use with the game. The soundtrack used to be available as a downloadable image which you could burn yourself so that those with the reprint edition could experience the game the same way those who got the first pressing did.
Well now Water Melon Co. have made a 4 disc special edition of the soundtrack available for pre-order. The 4 disc edition contains the original soundtrack on 2 discs, as well as a disc of remixes and another disc which contains the soundtrack for use with the reprint edition.
The soundtrack is not expected to be released until the 1st April 2012 (this better not be an April Fools!) so there’s plenty of time to place an order. You can place an order at the official Water Melon Shop here: CLICK HERE
Thinking of buying a tablet? Well if you get a Samsung Galaxy, Acer 100 or a ASUS Transformer from GameStop or www.gamestop.com, you will receive a free copy of the new Sonic CD, pre-installed on the device and way ahead of the December release date.
Also revealed is Tails who becomes playable after your first playthrough of Sonic CD. Now that’s a cool unlockable!
We love Sonic CD at SEGADriven and it appears that all news regarding this fantastic re-release is just making us more excited for the December release!
My Mega CD addiction continues! This time we’ve got Batman Returns, developed by Malibu Interactive.
The game is actually a continuation of the film’s storyline and not an interpretation of it. The Mega CD version adds extra Batmobile stages to the original Mega Drive version’s platforming stages as well as a new soundtrack composed by Spencer Nilsen.
Ever wanted to shunt baddies off the road in an invincible death-mobile and watch them explode like in the films? Well Road Avenger is the game for you!
I’ve just uploaded a complete review of the Mega CD FMV-fest and you can read it by clicking this link. There’s a lot of FMV games on the Mega CD; is this one to hit or miss?
