narutofan Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I heard other people saying the 32x is a pretty bad system but I just got one and I think it rocks. Iv'e heard some say it's wobbly in the genesis 2: barely. I hear some say it freezes after a half hour of game play: no way. Please tell me why all these people say it stinks.

Atarifever Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 like wich ones? mine came with two: doom 32x and virtual fighter, and I think they rock. 924932[/snapback] Virtual Fighter is supposed to be pretty great. I think, from the screenshots I've seen anyway, that that game demonstartes what could have been accomplished on the 32X if it had gotten the poper level of support. I'm still looking for one.

Famicoman Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I think it stinks just because it exists. The Genesis came out, and kept getting remade. The Sega-Cd came out, and kept getting remade. By the time the 32X came out, interest was lost, and people have moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blur2040 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Consider yourself lucky. You have two good 32x games...and that's pushing it calling Doom a good 32x game, as it's a pretty crappy port, with a ton of stuff cut out. Theres plenty of shitty 32x games about....in fact...the majority of them are shitty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Max Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Actually, a lot of them are just enhanced Genesis games, which is the knock against the 32x. Most of the games for it are good, but the enhancements aren't usually that much of a leap beyond what the standard Genesis can do. (Or for that matter, what the SNES can do). Good 32x games: Shadow Squadron Mortal Kombat II Kolibri Knuckles Chaotix Virtua Fighter Virtua Racing Deluxe (The best version of this game, bar none.) Spiderman: Web of Fire After Burner Space Harrier Darxide (good luck finding this one) Star Wars Arcade (well, I liked it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 There's no such game called "Virtual Fighter". The 32X has about 5 good games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segamaster Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 i love the 32X too it an awesome system but the only thing that stinks is that its an add on system so you have to buy the geneisis first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow460 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Wow, there are a slew of 32X/Genesis combos around here for sale, and quite a few games. I've never owned anything from the 16 bit era of gaming, save for the Game Gear sitting in my closet. There are tons of games around here for it, too, at $4 each. Hmmm, maybe it still works...

Smiley Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The 32x didn't really sux as much as everyone's saying but the games that sega released were hardly an upgrade from even genesis games. Additionally, the release of the saturn was quickly nearing and most lost interest in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDorr3 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I liked the 32x when I first got it, games like kolibri, knuckles chaotix, doom, and even blackthrone made it worth my while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexius Wronka Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I like the 32x, Shadow Squadron , Star Wars arcade, Mk2, are all great so are after burner and Space harrier... regardless of being 10 year old arcade ports virtua games are nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me why all these people say it stinks. 924894[/snapback] the reason its wobbly in the Genesis 2 is because your missing a part they makes it more sturdy..its like a base. i like the 32X im getting 16 boxed games for it including Star wars, Knuckles, Doom, virtual fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think there were several hardware releases of the 32X as well (documented or not). I had one that would absolutely NOT work with the CDX and then I traded it for one that I knew did. There were no distinguishing features on either one of them, but I used one for years in the configuration that the box said did not work. May have been an earlier/later model, I don't know. I thought some of the games were decent (I liked the Star Wars one too). Overall I think the CD games are better, but I liked trinkety stuff for my CDX so I bought one (or two as it ended up being after a trade). Sold mine (with games) in January, so I could not tell you what serial number it was (it was an AA member that got it though).
