This brilliant fake Sega account will make you wish these games were real

We'd play the crap out of My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad Tournament 3

Cool Spot Buries The Bodies, anyone?

You might not remember the Sega CD – or the Mega CD as it was called outside North America. It was add-on for the then super-popular Sega Mega Drive, which meant you to play games off CD, allowing for lots of then-impressive (and now laughable) video footage and not much else. It was over-priced and unsuccessful and relatively quickly discontinued, but 90s nostalgia has given it a certain level of cult.

Compared to most consoles, not many games were made for the Sega CD – so the Twitter account Sega CD Games is imagining what other titles could have come out for the system. But there’s something not quite right about these games….

Honestly, we’d play the shit out of My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad Tournament 3. But it’s a perfect example of the wonderfully weird games the account is making go viral.

There are disturbed versions of 90s favourites.

Some fascinatingly banal sounding titles.

And some that are just incredibly weird.

The account is run by actor and writer Brian Firenzi, and he’s been pumping out the weirdest since March last year.
