Someone broke into our house and stole our Genesis with all of the games. When insurance settled with us, we got a CDX and it was awesome.

IgoByaGo Wow, that's both sad and awesome at the same time. Sad because you lost your classic Sega Genesis and games but awesome because the CDX goes for quite a bit nowadays and it also enables you to play Sega CD games along with music audio CD's and Sega Genesis cartridges like Mark said in this video.

I have come from the future to tell you that Sega has released 2 Sega genesis mini consoles! while they're not called nemesis, they're still awesome!!!

Why was the CDX so awesome back in its day? For taking your console to a friend's house without needing a backpack full of adapters, a power strip, and what not. I never did like the Sega CD that much, but always loved the design of the CDX.

If you own a model 2 Genesis, go for the individual CD attachment. Much more affordable. However, if you own the Model 1 Genesis, I would recommend going for the CDX, as the Model 1 CD attachments are much more expensive. Although you can get the model 2 CD to work, just takes a lot more parts.

You haven't mentioned it's also a discman... Yeah, it's a portable CD player... Just saying.

Love these hardware reviews with some games mixed in. Thanks for another great review, Mark!

I had no idea that this console existed! When I was growing up, I was more familiar with the model 1 and model 2 Sega Genesis consoles. I'm missing out on a lot of good stuff here! And I'm not the only one.

+Dustin Nunn It originally was the prototype for the Sega Giga Drive/Sega Mars that SEGA of Japan had developed in 1991. They send it to SOA in Early 1993 with instructions to "design a stand alone prototype with System 32 Arcade chips for release in 1994". Fearing a retail flop and afraid of losing Genesis US marketshare, SOA instead designed an upgrade for Genesis called "Genesis 32" in the form of a Cartridge based attachment. Called "32X".

Fun fact: This video came out on my birthday, exactly one year after I got a CDX as a birthday gift. I almost shat myself back when this video hit, but didn't want to make a mess at the Intergalactic Space Arcade.

I feel like I might have one of those in my parent's garage, I'll need to go there once in awhile.

I'm so glad you are around man!

I'm Glad I Still Have One There Insanely Expensive Now Good Lord 😳.

I miss my CDX so much. I never should have sold it.

So my wife and I were watching this review, and she just wanted me to tell you that your voice is quite epic and you should have a radio show because it would be amazing.

Bless you for mentioning Dark Wizard, one of my all time favorite games, which was leaps and bounds ahead of its time.

I like how it says "YOU NEED HELP" on the bottom

I had one of those back in 1998. My best memories was bringing it everyday back in early High School days, listen to CDs and everyone asking me 'what the hell is that?' Thrown it away a long time ago, but still have the Ecco the Dolphin/Sega Classics games that came with the console as good luck charms.

That's an awesome little system. If I knew about it back then I would of wanted one.

Never heard of this version! Seems brilliant!

Great review. Never knew about this console and it has that compact look as well.

Trust me. Mark is no douchebag. He just rules. Watch a few reviews and you will be hooked for life.

I loved it. Played my music had my games and TV hook up. Then parts was hard to find.

"That's how it's done in Truxton, son."

So, Silpheed, Truxton, and Shadow Squadron on a system with a smaller footprint than a Genesis MK1? Nice!

this is badass i always wanted that one …its like they got it right

Probably the coolest combo console I've ever come across was a JVC X'EYE I found at a yard sale for ten bucks. Research tells me this was the American version of the Wondermega, and I absolutely ADORED it. The unit was tough as nails, and even though I bought it used I never once had an issue with it playing ANYTHING. The only problem I had was a lack of a six-button controller, but that was hardly an issue for the games I had on the thing (Mad Dog McCree a complicated game is not.) Anyone think Mark will ever get a hold of one of these? They seem to be pretty expensive.

IT'S A PORTABLE CD PLAYER!!! I used to use mine as such back in the day. it also does CDG which means it's stechnly a karaoke machine too.

Even in 2017, when you see silpheed on a screen from a different angle, it looks as amazing as any game released this year.

Always wanted one

My favorite version of the Genesis, sleek, compact and has the capabilities of both the Genesis and the Sega CD in only 1/3 the size.

TRUXTON! ... also congratulations on showing a console I never heard of. Been a while since that has happened!

I own one, and it is really amazing. Never knew these were expensive.

great i always wanted one when i was a child but o saw it only on video games magazines

I’m up late at night watching 1990’s video game videos. I’ve watched: #1. The history of 3DO #2 Why Saturn failed #3 a play through of SHINOBI X #4. A review of PS classic #5. A review of NES classic #6. A review of SNES classic #7. A review of TG16 classic #8. WHY DREAMCAST FAILED #9 CDi #10 TOP 10 WORST GAME CONSOLES #11 CDX I always wanted a CD X but when I was a kid $300 for one of these was kind of like asking your parents to spend $1000 now. It’s funny that now that I am 38 years old and I have so much money that I can go out and buy any video game console I want I still can’t bring myself to bring up enough desire to buy one of these off of eBay. I kind of want the CD X, the Turbo Express and Turbo Duo because I still have leftover advertising in my mind from 25 years ago It would be nice to have a single classic console with all the Master system, Genesis, 32X, Saturn, SEGA CD, and Dreamcast games on it.

CDX is the coolest looking console of all time in my opinion. I've owned two in my lifetime.

Now you're playing with power. SUPER POWER!

Such an awesome channel...

The Sega CDX is the coolest console ever made. I remember it was so expensive.

+clockworkrazor Have you played Dreamcast before?

Outside America it is called the Sega Multi-Mega

I used to have a Sega CDX. Wish now I still had it. I had the games that made it worth having like Lunar The Silver Star and Eternal Blue, Dark Wizard, Shining Force CD,and Sonic CD.

My friend had one of these and a bunch of CD games. I beat Popful Mail, Snatchers...oh, I think he had Lunar as well. Awesome little system. :)

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only Silpheed fan in the world. The CDX looks awesome, but I'm not willing to shell out $250.

the graphics on that sega cd game are amazing, I didn't think that was capable on sega cd

If you ever happen to come across a Hori Gamecube controller and review it, I would die. Those look so cool.

Good review, Silpheed is a great game!

This is pretty much the only Sega console that I ever wanted in the 90's. Aside from the Master System when KB was selling them for $20. I should have cleaned them out and saved them to sell on Ebay.

I just bought a sega cdx I love it.

Good way to start my day!

A very Badass looking console!

Lol the 90's was also the best time to be a gamer. Yes there were some garbage consoles that didn't last long. But it was fun to see so many companies and consoles on the Market. I think Segas brain trust was trying to hard to see into the future with many of their console failures instead of focusing on what was in front of them. Often times when you see people trying to predict the future they have outlandish ideas...Like look at one French picture from I believe the late 1800's trying to predict the year 2000. It had flying fire fighters & stuff. You want to be innovative but not outrages.

You mean Albert Robida

Not only is the cdx smaller & compact but it also saves you alot of wallet power and adaptors and space, am astonished how sega was able to shrink down their technology down into 1:6 the size of a genesis & mega cd combined, this is mind blowing considering it dates back from the mid-90's.

Here in Brazil, one of those cost ~130 dollars, but, thats beauty!

if you are fortunate enough to own on of these they are well worth holding onto what he didnt mention in the review is that the cdx is also compatible with the power base converter with the need to modify it like on the genesis model 2

Nice review Mark! But can you please review your awesome CRT tv? I'd Like to know about it! :D

This was posted on my birthday🎁🎂🎈🎉

That's pretty cool. I haven't played a sega cd game in years.

Yea I miss this til this day..

It is a sharp looking machine. Only 1 plug needed!

I love CGR !

From all the game reviewers/commentators/analysts I´ve seen on youtube I like lord karnage the best. you make the clips with a fresh and appealing approach putting things simple while remaining informative rather than turning them into a boring forecast report. although PC gaming is not the medullar line of your project I would like to perform a request as your never ending mission to review everything should include PC by definition, being it part of the everything. I would like to ask you to review Battlefield 1942 if possible including its both expansion packs and some mods like forgotten hope 0.7, it is a very addictive game given the online multiplayer experience but still I might not know some things about it. It is free to download and play as are its mods so that would not be an issue, Hope it can be done....... :)

hi man i love your song intro

Mark, did you review the jvc x'eye? That is also good and quiet and has region free with karaoke!

oh to start collecting now on things that are actually worth keeping...

I gotta get one now. Ill get a cdx then the 32x. Genesis is a great system.

I saw truxton for sale at my local game store (surprise suprise there's actually one that isn't a gamestop!) And I bought it instantly. I don't even own a Genesis.

I have the Genny 1/Sega CD 1 hooked up and playing fine, but if I came across this at a decent price (I've found things like the Virtual Boy at my local thrift for less than 3 bucks), I'd still get the CDX. It just looks that cool.

Who had ever tout that condencing technology was already advanced enough in 1995 to shrink both a sega CD and sega genesis not only into a single unit but even make it smaller then the sega genesis 2 as well, this is just mind blowing.

Is it compatible with the Power Base Converter? If so it might be the most useful albeit expensive Genesis model out there.

pretty cool

The SEGA CDX is great! I regret that i sold my Multimega back then... :(

I'd like to get one of these at some point. I never had a Sega CD. I want to play Snatcher on it as well as Sonic CD and a couple of others. I do have a Genesis (with a working 32X, by the way) but never had a Sega CD. This is definitely the model I'd want.

This is exciting a co worker is giving his for free today im so excited to get this Also plays Famicom games i heard from another youtuber. I cant wait to do a video on this Awsome SEGA CDX ❤️

YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.

So is the audio quality on par with the Genesis version one or is it slightly worse like the Genesis model 2? Basically is it using the component of either and if not how does it compare?

That technology has NEC written all over it. It looks just like the CD drive for the TurboGrafx 16 CD rom.

I have that same Star Wars shirt.

You can also use it as a portable cd player.

Wow, that guy really likes the Truxton...

correct me if im wrong. i heard when the sega cdx first came out, it was 400 bucks DX

Such a nice combo, sega cd also had some great games. Such a shame that it's too expensive

What's the name of the song that plays when he's showing off the console? It's very catchy and awesome.

Never had a Sega CD/ 32x period. But does 32x go compatible w/CDx specifically.

I wanted a cdx but I managed to find the jvc x'eye during my search for it and ended up buying that instead. It isnt as compact but it is an all in one unit like the cdx is.

Question!! I have a sega cdx but no cords, will sega Genesis cords work?

Wonder if it is compatible with the Master System game converter

The JVC X'Eye is similar but a higher place in rarity.

I had no idea that you can use the 32x on it. on the 32x box it says not compatible. you learn something everyday

wow, silpheed looks fucking awesome.

i have one question does this model work with the backwards compatibility accessory
