==Reception== Reviews for ''Sonic CD'' were generally positive, with a consensus that it was the best game for the Sega Mega-CD. The game was praised for its innovative time-travel based gameplay, presentation and music. Despite this critical acclaim, however, the game failed to emulate the commercial success of other Sonic installments, due to the unpopularity of the Sega CD. Yet according to vgchartz.com it sold 1.5 million copies worldwide, 1.02 million in the US alone, and 480,000 in the rest of the world including Japan. It was the only game on the SEGA CD to sell anywhere close to a million copies. Reviews for the PC version were subpar. Many reviewers didn't like how it played on PCs at the time compared to the smooth gameplay of the SEGA CD version. The PC version also didn't work on computers running later Windows OS systems [[Windows XP]], [[Windows Vista]], and [[Windows 7]] due to some missing files (However, it worked on [[Windows ME]] and [[Windows 2000]]). However, a program called "Sonic CD PC Fix" solved those problems.<ref>http://www.sonic-cult.org/dispart.php?catid=1&gameid=5&subid=1&artid=6</ref> Sonic CD was awarded Best Sega CD Game of 1993 by [[Electronic Gaming Monthly]].<ref name="egmbuyersguide1994">{{Cite journal |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1994 |title=Electronic Gaming Monthly's Buyer's Guide |accessdate=2009-01-09 |quote= }}</ref> It was also listed at the #1 on the best Sonic game article on [[ScrewAttack]]'s "Best and Worst Sonic games".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29711.html |title=ScrewAttack Video Game, The Best And Worst Sonic Games |publisher=GameTrailers.com |date=2008-01-15 |accessdate=2009-08-23}}</ref>
