Hardware: JVC X'Eye Game System: Unknown Cheat Category: FAQ Game Company: Unknown Game Category: Unknown Hint, Cheat, Walkthrough:   [JVC X'Eye] The JVC X'Eye is an all-in-one unit, as it contains a Genesis-compatible and a Sega CD-compatible in one housing. The X'Eye includes the pack-in titles "Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia" and "Prize Fighter", both in cardboard sleeves. A Karaoke CD was also included; the X'Eye is capable of playing Karaoke-CDs as well. In Japan, the X'Eye is known as the "Wondermega". There were two versions: * Original - Larger than the current model (Approx. size of SCD2 and SG2 in width) - Capable of handling oversized CDs (> 5"), which was the original concept behind CD movies in Japan... the format was NOT adopted - MIDI connection (music keyboard compatible) - Specialized MIDI/Keyboard development kit/program available in Japan ONLY. * Current version - Same as US X'Eye - Slimmer than Wondermega I - Lack extra features of the original All Wondermegas were built by JVC Musical Industries of Japan. [Sega CDX] The Sega CDX is similar to the X'Eye in that it plays standard Genesis carts as well as most Sega CDs. Its advantage is the size -- about the size of a portable CD player. This unit is portable (Sega even made a carrying case for it) but still requires a television or monitor to play. There were three CDs included as pack-ins: Sega Classics V (Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Columns, and Super Monaco GP), Sonic CD, and Ecco the Dolphin CD. There are a few Sega-CD titles that are not compatible with the CDX: Jurassic Park Radical Rex Terminator Who Shot Johnny Rock? Q: Can I use my Sega CDX with the Sega Channel? A: Yes - they are compatible. Of course, only for cart-based games. Q: Can I use a 32X add-on with my CDX? A: Yes. Although it's not officially endorsed by Sega, it *is* possible. There may be a problem with spacing the 32X device over the unit, though. [LaserActive] The LaserActive system by Pioneer was a noble attempt at an all-in-one unit. It is essentially a Laser Disc player with available add-on "modules" for Sega CD/Genesis and TurboGrafx-16/CD/PC Engine games. The machine also has its own library of LaserActive game titles. The LaserActive was expensive ($800?) and each add-on module cost nearly as much as the machine it was emulating (~$200 to $300), so cost was a prohibitive factor in large volume sales of the unit. V. Software This list of Sega CD titles was the very first part of the FAQ. Once I completed it I had amassed enough information for an entire FAQ, and it just kept growing, and growing, and growing... Numbers in parentheses () refer to notes at the bottom. Guide to nomenclature: 1st person shooter - a non-overhead, non-side-scrolling shooting game which takes place from the point of view of the player's ship/character/etc. These games usually take advantage of the Sega CD's additional hardware and have much better effects than a comparable Genesis shooter. Action - arcade action, includes flying, and games with multiple elements (driving, shooting, platform, etc.) FMV - "Full Motion Video". This is a type of game which uses digitized video or digitized animation for its graphics and gameplay is usually limited to pressing buttons at certain times. "Dragon's Lair" in the arcade is probably the earliest example of this, in which you had to time the main character's actions precisely - or else he was toast. Platform - Run and jump type of game, side-scrolling, in which the character can explore a landscape while running, jumping, and attacking with various types of weapons. The word platform comes from early platform titles (e.g. Super Mario Brothers) in which the character actually jumped on various platforms. RPG - "Role Playing Game". The first person RPGs refer to those games in which your view is a 3-D character's view of the dungeon, and you "see what your characters see". General RPGs don't give the first-person perspective, but instead a general overhead or "3/4 overhead" perspective on your character(s). The purpose is generally some large quest, and your characters gain strength, better weapons, and improved attributes along the way.

(6) There were two types of light guns produced for Sega CD games. The first is the "Justifier", by Konami, which is included with Lethal Enforcers. It can be used to play these titles: "Lethal Enforcers", "Lethal Enforcers 2", and "Snatcher". The other light gun is by American Laser Games. It wasn't included with any of their Sega CD titles, but had to be purchased separately. A second gun (for player 2) was also made but is currently hard-to-find. (Note: The Sega "Menacer" can also be used for these games, but unlike the American Laser Games guns, the Menacer requires batteries.) These guns can be used with the following games: "Crime Patrol", "Mad Dog McCree", "Mad Dog McCree II: The Lost Gold", and "Who Shot Johnny Rock". Also, "Corpse Killer" (Digital Pictures) can be used with the Menacer. (7) All American Laser Games are FMV shooters. All Digital Pictures games are FMV-based. (8) "Colors of Modern Rock" is a promo-only CD by Sega and Digital Pictures. It's a CD with six music videos produced in conjunction with Warner Custom Music. You can play the videos as in a normal VCR tape. The screen is approximately 1/3, combination of color and black-and-white. It allows for play, stop, search, skip, freeze, and storage of 9 frames (based on available backup RAM space). (c) 1993 Sega, product code: WCM-9302-00 (in case anyone's interested).
