Video CDs are fairly popular in Asia, where bounties of discs are hawked by street vendors for the equivalent of a couple of American dollars, if that. There erupted a hullabaloo a few years back when "The Phantom Menace" broke out on pirate video-cds at the same time as the theatrical release in the States. If you didn't mind the background noise from the audience (Initial copies were DV'ed from screenings), the movie quality was passably viewable. Or so we've heard.
   NCS tested today's DC VCD player with a copy of Virtua Fighter 2 CGMV, a collection of cinemas featuring Sega's 3-D battlers and it ran fine. The rear of the packaging touts VGA-Box support  and the availability of a special controller. A quick check with vendors in Hong Kong deny the availability of a controller at this time but perhaps it'll launch soon. Packaging includes VCD accessory and boot disc.
