New blog post time!
This week's game is Burning Fists: Force Striker, a Sega CD fighting game that was canceled, only to have a prototype found and cleaned up for a 2006 release. It's incomplete and not exactly polished, but if you like offbeat fighting games, this is a fun one with some juice!

#PAXEast is done, but I keep forgetting to mention the person I saw buying a stack of Sega CD games from the Game Underground (https://www.gameunderground.store/) store booth on the expo floor. He explained that he'd just finally gotten a working #Sega CD one week before the expo opened, only to realize that he had no games for it. He'd come to PAX in part to find all sorts of titles for his old systems.
He looked so happy as he walked away.
Ever wanted to tap into the Sega CD using SGDK?
This video breaks down how to get started from setup to using the Fusion Driver by Vic to access Sega CD hardware like a pro.

20. You can't tell from a still image, of course, but in the DOS version the lights on Meathook's sign are animated. In the Sega CD version, they are not. And even thought the sign has about twice as many lights in the Sega version (because they're all visible at once, not blinking on and off), it just looks less festive.
4. Once you get to the SCUMM Bar, the sign is significantly brighter in the Sega CD version. Actually I wish the DOS version had been more like that. The first time I played it, I had a monitor that was quite dark and I just walked by the bar without noticing it.
3. The user interface is quite similar to the DOS CD version, that is to say that it has nine verbs instead of the twelve that the floppy versions had.
Apparently the EGA version has a very nice sunset when you first get to the dock, but that's not in any version that I have.
2. Another noticeable difference is that the Sega CD version tells you to "PRESS START" to begin the game. The Monkey Island has been moved to accommodate that, which I think slightly hurts the composition of the scene.
The intro doesn't even proceed to the lookout scene on its own. It just loops. When that happens, the music cuts off pretty awkwardly. That could be a ScummVM issue, but it was awkward when I tried it in an emulator too.
1. About a month ago, I picked up a second-hand copy of The Secret of Monkey Island for the Sega CD. But I haven't sat down and played it yet. Time to fix that. I want to see how it differs from the other versions I've encountered.
There will be spoilers. You have been warned.
Right away, it uses a different Lucasfilm logo than the DOS version. In fact, I think it's the same one as the Amiga version uses, but I don't have that one.
Time to let the big guns out! This clip shows Vic's Fusion driver being used to for in game speech. The speech being played is SPCM 8-bit 27500 kHz. I'm finishing up a script for a video on how to do this. https://youtu.be/GKyftVGeMsM #segacd #segagenesis #segamegadrive
I couldn’t find a good case holder for my small collection of Sega CD games, so I made this using two other designs I found #3dprinting #sega #segacd
