Wow. Just freaking WOW.

Even at the tender age of... let's see, what was I... this was 1992, so I was 14. Anyway, even at that age, I could poke big gaping holes in the flaws of these ads.

Wow.

The first two ads were so virulent in tone and blatant in their lack of respect for the truth that Sega sent a legion of robot lawyers to NEC's ad agency to inform them that they would not continue to publish them, especially since:

1: Sega never claimed that the Sega CD was a complete video game system of its own.
2: Sega only in one extremely obscure advertising flyer claimed that the Sega CD was the first CD-based video game system ever. Probably some guy in marketing who had never played video games himself made that claim, which was fact-checked and removed in later advertising material.
3: The claim that you had to spend an extra 100 dollars to buy the "Feka" system was ridiculous, since if you were considering buying the Sega CD, you probably already owned a Sega Genesis. Of course, a few years later, Sega brought out a second add-on, the 32X. If you were considering buying a 32X, you were probably profoundly retarded, since the 32X was nearly as expensive as the much more powerful Sega Saturn, which wasn't saddled with the Genesis's 16-bit bus structure and could actually effectively use its 32-bit processor.

The third adventure of Johnny and Tony was special, and as guilty in its own way of sending thousands of otherwise well-adjusted young gay men screaming for the closet as was Mr. B Natural. In this ad, children's minds were opened for a split-second, only to take in the horror that was Johnny Turbo's distinctly unhealthy relationship with his lover/sidekick, Tony.

Enjoy. Or snap off your computer monitor while curling into the loving embrace of oblivion, your choice.
