This system is an resolution no-brainer for those that still absolutely like Genesis and Sega CD sports meeting. It’s a small combo system that only uses one AC adapter, which means that it hardly takes up any space at all – A plus for anyone who likes to keep multiple systems hooked up.
But, the catch with this system is that it makes the most sense to be into the Sega CD’s paultry library, which isn’t particularly small, but isn’t drowning in splendid sports meeting either. The splendid sports meeting that the Sega CD offers are also rather niche, and not for everyone. I bring this up because it doesnt make much sense to “overspend” on the CDX if you despise the Sega CD part of it – You can just pick up the Genesis at a fraction of the cost and pick amongst the Genesis’robust library.
This really is a wonderful and practical small system that makes the most sense for gamers that really like Genesis and Sega CD sports meeting. Well, I guess this makes sense for collectors too since it isnt the most common ancient-school machine around. Just makes sure that you REALLY still like this generation of sports meeting, and do a small research into the Sega CD library, before you throw cash at it.

These small machines were pretty much a last ditch effort by Sega to compete with Super Nintendo. It’s pretty much a mixture of a Sega Genesis and a Sega CD. Now, don’t get me incorrect, that does’nt make this is a terrible system at all, in fact it’s just the polar contrary, this thing is incredible. The only gripe is the fact that the cartridge input is on the back, which in turn, makes putting a Sega 32X on this thing really hard. The designers (for some reason) didn’t really reflect about using a 32X on the CDX, and because the 32X is kinda heavy (In comparison to a Sega Cartidge), and because the cartidge input is in the back, it makes the CDX fall backwards. Not only that, but you can’t open the disk tray while the 32X is attached, making it a pain. But since 32X’s are really terrible, you don’t need to agonize about getting one. Another cool feature I like about the CDX is the fact that it can be used as a portable CD player, but if you’re smart you wouldn’t be foolish enough to do so, as these are rare as ever. If you can find one at an affordable price, get it, but if not, just forget it. An all-around awesome console.

Most video game aficionados will tell you that it’s vital to not only remember the roots of home video game consoles, but to own a few of them as well. There is no better way to play Sega CD sports meeting and Sega cartridge-based sports meeting than on this small unit.
I have owned mine for (gasp) 12 years, it’s taken the licking and keeps on ticking.
This has to be one of the nominal gaming consoles I have ever owned. The Sega CDX is unevenly the same size as the Heroes – Season One box set. For the folks that want to save game progress, you’ll be pleased to know this is compatible with the Sega CD Back Up Ram Cart, and will even allow you to play music CD’s. All your ancient Sega cartridges should work on it, and it also has a headphone jack, similar to the one on the Genesis system.
Now for the drawbacks.
First and foremost, the Sega CD sports meeting and the cartridge sports meeting are not simple to come by. You’ll have to either search around in Amazon or eBay to find the best sports meeting for your pool, or find a video game retailer that specializes in grown-up systems.
Secondly, the Sega CD sports meeting are not all that splendid. They get extremely repetitive after a while, and most of the sports meeting were made to show the player that Sega was the first system to support full motion video – but all this amounts to is 16-bit gameplay intermixed with a lot of grainy video footage. To be honest, some of the rarer sports meeting grant a lot of laughs, such as Supreme Warrior or the game that caused the creation of the ESRB, Night Trap (Unrated Version).
Also, there is also some debate as to whether or not this system is compatible with the Sega 32X Unit. Apparently the 32X has metal prongs that need to be inserted into the cartridge interface for the 32X cartridges or the 32X Sega CD sports meeting to work. I’m not sure about you, but I don’t feel safe putting metal into a video game system…that sounds a small too much like putting a paper clip into a light socket. With my luck, this would probably lead to the unit getting hurt beyond repair, with no retailer to fix it. I’ll leave that choice up to you.
Since this unit takes up considerably less space than the original Sega console with the Sega CD add-on, I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take a trip down memory lane, back when Sonic the Hedgehog was king of the consoles. Delight in!
