Known as the Mega-CD outside of America. The Sega CD was an expansion module for the Sega Genesis home console. it allowed for long games, enabling role-playng games which had been PC-only, to enter the home console for the first time. Games could now be made with higher quality graphics and more levels included. No more need to compress games to fit them on a limited space ROM cartridge. No more reducing image quality, sound fidelity, and removal of entire levels. The new controller bumped the button count from 4 to 6, allowing for games that could not have previously existed. The Sega CD was actually successful and ended up with plenty of games over what was a very respectable lifespan for what was actually an expansion module. No one in the videogame-industry would know it at the time, but console expansion modules would almost never succeed ever again.
