IN A WORLD… where gaming history teeters on the brink of oblivion… One legendary machine is about to rise from the shadows…

🔹🔷 The Sega Mega Laserdisc 🔷🔹

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Long thought lost… now within our reach. But to truly understand its legacy, you need to know the story of the Pioneer LaserActive — a $2,000+ technical masterpiece that only the wealthy could afford. Debuting in October 1993 to compete with the 3DO, this $700 base unit could do it all: Play music, games, karaoke, interactive software, and over 7,500 movies with unmatched picture quality. Run massive Laserdiscs — the precursor to the DVD — powering arcade legends like Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. Use the $350 Laser Karaoke pack with mixer and mic to sing along to over 250 titles.

 

The system’s power came from add-on LD-ROM packs: Mega-LD Pack (with Sega): Play 8” and 12” Mega-LD discs, Sega CDs, Genesis carts, and CD+G discs. Came bundled with Pyramid Patrol and a 4-in-1 Sega classic collection (Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Columns). LD-ROM² Pack (with NEC): Play LD-ROM² discs, NEC CD-ROM², Super CD, HuCard games, and more. Bundled with Econosaurus and a 4-in-1 Hudson Soft classic collection (Gate of Thunder, Bonk’s Adventure, Bonk’s Revenge, Bomberman). Only a handful of extra games were made — including Space Berserker, High Roller, Vajra, and Manhattan Requiem — now holy grails among collectors.

Hi is this incorporated into the latest version of Ares or do we have to use a specific version that emulates the Mega LD?  If so could someone provide a link. 

 

Hope we can preserve these very rare discs if the collectors are out there as this format is prone to disc rot. 

 

Thank you.
