Growing up then, I seem to recall the nail in the coffin was around the time we could use discjuggler to burn to standard CDRs.
3rd party games kinda tanked when anyone with a burner could download and burn the iso with no mod chip.
I think this is it. Within weeks I had downloaded every game from usenet and the only money Sega made from me was buying samba de amigo to get the maraca controllers.
It was a mistake too - so many games to play that I never committed to anything and got bored and stopped playing anything.
I feel like the system was neat but it only had a handful of games that I kept coming back to.
