	Sega CD - Biocrawler
		The Sega Mega (Japanese: メガCD) is an add-on device for the Sega Mega Drive released in Europe, Australia, and Japan.
		Sega wanted to showcase the power of the Sega CD, and so focused on the "FMV" games rather than importing "extended" games that only expanded ordinary games by taking advantage of the extra storage space of the CD media.
		Sega insisted on licensing and producing primarily "full motion video" games similar to earlier laserdisc games, that were universally panned by game reviewers.
