fitzy recommended two good games - Sonic CD is very different to the cartridge games.

My personal favorite is the driving section of Batman Returns, amazing music and GFx

Also I absolutely love Dune, it has the voice overs from the PC and the beautiful Amiga graphics. Always gets my game time.

Remember- there was no CD copy protection on the MegaCD, just saying :)

The Mega CD versions of Core Design's Wonder Dog, and Wolfchild, are both superb, and fairly different to the Amiga versions.

If memory serves, the Mega CD version of Wolfchild features a re-drawn (and better-looking) intro, as well...

I'd recommend the ones already mentioned and my 2 favourite Mega-CD games:
Snatcher and Keio Flying Squadron

Keio Flying Squadron is worth it just for the utterly gonzo cutscenes :D The Saturn sequel isn't bad either.

My first computer type ever! You sir have my envy.

I'm still on the search for a cheap enough unit. Don't mind if NTSC (TMS1000) or PAL (ZX81).:thumbsup:

There suddenly seem to be a few about. I was very pleasantly surprised. if you want a bit of help sending one over, pm me and I'll try to help.

and yep it was my first computer too. RML at school, played with a few others and finally saved up enough for zx81, it has a very special place in my heart.

btw I dont have a psu for it, I have rigged up a converter to use a spectrum psu (taking care to switch polarity! )
