In this episode of Angry Video Game Nerd season 2, the Nerd takes on the Sega CD. The Sega CD was a CD-ROM based peripheral for the Sega Genesis that promised to revolutionize gaming with its cutting-edge technology. However, as the Nerd puts it, "Sega CD was not the future of gaming. It was just the future of shitty games."

The Nerd begins by taking a look at the various models of the Sega CD and all their fancy accessories, remarking on how ridiculous they all look. He then dives into the games themselves, and it's clear that he's not impressed. He starts with a game called "Night Trap," which was controversial at the time due to its supposed use of graphic violence against women. The Nerd doesn't see what all the fuss was about, as the game is just an overpriced and poorly-made attempt at an interactive movie.

Next up is a game called "Corpse Killer," which the Nerd describes as "the most dated-looking game I have ever seen." It's a live-action shooting game set on an island infested with zombies, and the Nerd hates every minute of it. He can't get over the fact that the actors in the game are so over-the-top and lame.

Another game on the chopping block is "Road Avenger," which the Nerd describes as a "cheap ripoff of 'Mad Max'." It's a driving and shooting game that uses full-motion video, and the Nerd can't stand the cheesy acting and repetitive gameplay.

The Nerd also takes a look at a game called "Sonic CD," which was supposed to be the flagship game of the Sega CD. However, the Nerd thinks it's a disappointment, with confusing level design and a soundtrack that grates on his nerves.

One of the few decent games the Nerd plays on the Sega CD is "Lunar: The Silver Star," a role-playing game that he calls "the best game on the system by far." The Nerd appreciates the game's charming characters, engaging story, and solid gameplay.

As usual, the Nerd throws in plenty of jokes and pop culture references along the way, making this episode a hilarious and entertaining watch. He ends by declaring that the Sega CD is "a classic example of too much hype and not enough substance," and that it's a system that should be avoided at all costs.

Overall, Angry Video Game Nerd season 2 episode 6 is a great exploration of the failed promises of the Sega CD and the terrible games that came with it. Whether you're a retro gaming fan or just enjoy a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
