The Sega CD is a CD-ROM
accessory for the Genesis
(also known as Mega Drive),
produced by Sega as part of
the fourth generation of video
game 
consoles. 
It 
was
released on December 12,
1991, in Japan, in 1992 in
North America, and in 1993 in
Europe. It plays CD-based
games and adds hardware functionality such as a
faster 
central 
processing 
unit 
and 
graphic
enhancements such as sprite scaling and rotation. It
also plays audio CDs and CD+G discs. The main
benefit of CD technology was greater storage; CDs
offered more than 320 times the space of Genesis
cartridges. Sega partnered with JVC to design the
Sega CD, which was redesigned several times by
Sega and licensed third-party developers. By
March 1996, Sega discontinued it to focus on the Sega
Saturn; 2.24 million units had been sold. Retrospective
reception is mixed, with praise for some games and
functions, but criticism for its dearth of deep games,
high price and lack of support from Sega. (This article
