Before we start lambasting this poor comic I have to mention that I personally find it funny that there was ever a comic that pitted the Sega CD against the TurboDuo. Let's face it, neither of these systems sold very many units and there weren't a lot of great games on the platforms. If anything TTI should have been more worried about Nintendo's Super NES or the regular Genesis, those two systems were the real winners of the 16-bit era, not the Sega CD. Looking back at it now I suspect that just about everybody would agree that neither the TurboDuo nor the Sega CD is actually worth $300 (which is closer to $415 in 2007 dollar).

The comic begins with the evil Sega ... er, I mean Feka (talk about a subtle change) plotting to take over the world with their Feka CD. Actually, that's not true, they aren't trying to take over the world. They just want to sell some systems, and apparently they want to do that by suggesting that their system is a complete system and you don't need the base unit to play it. Wow, talk about dastardly. Of course, it's completely false, because my Sega CD box says right on it that you need the Sega Genesis. Maybe the Fega CD's box was different.

Back at home we discover an unmasked Kevin Smith who "discovers some interesting news about Feka" by looking at the bottom of two different discs. Because, as we all know, the best way to judge two games is by looking at the data that is written on the bottom of the disc. How do you think I decided that Red Steel was the best game of 2006? I looked at the bottom of the disc, of course. When compared to the bottom of the Gears of War disc you have to agree that Red Faction is a much better game. Bill Nye decides to add to this debate by showing Johnny Turbo an article in the newspaper that reads: "Feka's CD System Failing in Japan!!" What they forgot to mention was that on the next page it said: "So is TTI's!!"
