The Genesis still handles the controls and video, while the Sega CD adds a CD drive, a second processor and extra sound and graphics hardware for scaling and rotation effects. Games like Sonic CD, with its time travel between past and future versions of each zone, Lunar: The Silver Star, Lunar: Eternal Blue, Snatcher and Popful Mail showed what the extra space could do. It also plays standard audio CDs and CD+G discs through its own menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Sega CD connects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sega CD plugs into the expansion port on the side of a Genesis Model 1 or Model 2. The first Sega CD model is a front-loading tray unit that sits under the Genesis, and the second is a top-loading unit that sits beside it. Either way, the Sega CD needs its own power supply, and the Genesis still needs its own AC adapter and video cable. The later Genesis 3 has no expansion port and cannot use a Sega CD. Cartridge games keep working in the Genesis slot while the add-on is attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to know before buying a used Sega CD\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc drive is the part to think about on any Sega CD, since the laser and the tray or lid mechanism see the most wear. Model 1 units use a motorized tray, and Model 2 units use a flip-up lid. Accessories vary by unit, and the power supply, spacer plate, cables and the Genesis console itself are included only if the listing title says so. Sega CD games are region-locked, so a US unit plays North American Sega CD discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega CD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega Genesis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccessory (add-on CD drive)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNorth American Sega CD games, audio CDs and CD+G discs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSega CD attaches to a Sega Genesis Model 1 or Model 2 and needs its own power supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUS launch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich Genesis consoles does the Sega CD work with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works with the Sega Genesis Model 1 and Model 2 through the expansion port.
