List of Sega Mega-CD games

The Sega Mega-CD was 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.[1] While the Mega-CD 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).[1] 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.[1] While it became known for several games, such as Sonic CD, the expansion only sold 6 million units worldwide and was often criticized for its severe hardware limitations [2]

The following list contains all of the games released on the Sega Mega-CD. Of these games, several were released on the Sega Mega Drive as well as the Sega Mega-CD, marked by a * in the title for the game. There are also six additional games (marked with a † in the title for the game) that were also released in formats that used a combination of the Sega Mega-CD and the Sega 32X. All dates given are for the earliest release of the games, which have been sold in several regions around the world, including Japan (JP), North America (NA), and Europe (EU).

220 games were officially released for the Sega Mega-CD.
