List of Sega Mega-CD games

The Sega Mega-CD is an add-on for the Sega Mega Drive. In early 1991, Sega announced the Mega-CD for release in Japan in late 1991 and in North America (as the Sega CD) in 1992. While the Mega Drive add-on did contain a faster central processing unit and some enhanced graphics capabilities than the Mega Drive, the main focus of the device was to expand the size of games: cartridges of the day typically contained 8 to 16 megabits of data, while a CD-ROM disk would hold 640 megabytes (5120 megabits). Sega of Japan, partnering with Sony, refused to consult with Sega's American division until the project was completed—Sega of America had to assemble parts from various "dummy" units to obtain a working prototype.cite book |last=Kent |first=Steven L. |authorlink=Steven L.
