Another add on for the Sega Genesis. Over 400,000 of these systems were sold. Doom was probably the best game on the system. This system was by far the cheapest leap into the 32 bit generation.
With the release of the Super Famicom in Japan and the Super NES in North America, Sega felt the need to leapfrog Nintendo in the technological department. The Sega Mega-CD, known as Sega CD in North America, had not worked as well, in a business sense, as Sega had wanted it to. Sega had various developments underway, and focused most of its energy on the then new Sega Saturn. Some used System 16 technology, as the Sega Mega Drive and other arcade games did. The 32X was released in mid-November 1994 in North America for $159.

I think that doom was the best game out of all the 32x games. This verison was even better than on the computer.

upgrade.years went by and i realized that my baby was missing.come to

back because my friend also got me mortal kombat 2 in the original box

is mk2 and virtua fighter, but as long as i breath,I WILL ALWAYS BE
TRUE TO MY SEGA AND THE FANS WHO MADE SEGA GREAT. | Jonathan Dogey dogeymon@hotmail.com
MAJOR AWESOME PROS:
This system is a cute little speed bump that sits on top of your
genesis and gives you some of Sega's funnest nostalgic polygon
classics. If a 32X and Saturn were sitted next to each other, you may
never guess which Virtua Fighter version you were playing. Great 32X
game! Plus, some gamers are fans of FMV games from the beginnings of
SEGA CD (we do exist. And we are many.) And 32X takes some of the bad
looking ones on SEGA CD and cleans em' up. And
of course, Shadow Squadron is one truly clever and incredible looking
game for this system with such great innovation and replay value. Even
looks better than some N64 games in my opinion. MAJOR
DOWNFALLING CONS: Ok, I gave this system it's good points. Now the
awful truth. It was kinda (kiiiiiinda!) worth the price of it when it
came out. I mean c'mon. Sure it was. At a time when Starfox for SNES
was making that system spin in some impressive looking circles, SEGA
went and made an answer to that polygon pumping title, sadly making you
have to buy an expensive add-on. But it didn't spit out enough
holiness. Sega fell into their old habits and started just translating
Genesis titles onto this 32-bitter and they looked and played JUST THE
SAME!! When I first heard of this system, I imagined how awesome it
would be how wherever I saw a genesis, whether at a friends house, at
my youth group, at work, etc. I could stick in this thing and we'd have
some great 32bit gaming in store for us. But once this thing is in
your genesis, that's where it's staying. If I want this thing in any
genesis, you gotta move everything and plug in an extra ac-adapter, put
in these fragile little electroplates that after a while of removing
and inserting just get bent out of shape and make the thing stop
working correctly when you flip it on. It's a whole new system that
you have to invest in that just doesn't deliver enough fun. And one
more thing that when you think about it, is just sad and
lauuuuuuuuuuuuuughable. Sega thought,....heehee......that people would
buy a $99 genesis....heeheehee.......and $79 Sega
CD.......(ffffftt!).....and $159 32X system.....MMMFFT!......JUST TO
GET A BETTER LOOKING NIGHT TRAP!!!!!!!!!! YEAH,
RRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!! WHEN
YOU BUY ONE, THIS IS REALITY IN A NUT-SHELL: The 32X was an expensive
add-on that gave your genesis the doorway to play a few great 32-bit
games, and a bunch of recycled genesis games with a load of 32X crap. BUT
TODAY,...: The 32X is a fun collectable strictly because it has some
titles only released for itself that make it worth buying (as long as
it's cheap), and it makes you appreciate it's graphics because,
well....it's a genesis! What the hell, go find one. But make sure
it's brand new. You need brand new electroplates and once you hook it
up, you should never remove it again. For the thing to last, it has to
have eternal sex with that genesis system. | Jammer Jam_man2007@yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've never played the 32X, but I hear it's good. I'm saving up to buy one from this site. I hope I like it as much as Daniel does. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Daniel nhlrox@juno.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love my 32x! i've had mine for a pretty long time. These are the games i have that took me a long time to find. Doom,Zaxxons MotherBase 2000,Star Fleet Academy,Shadow Squadron,Virtua Racing Deluxe,Kolurbri,Virtua Fighter,Moto Cross,NFL QB Club,Starwars Arcade,36 great holes,Metal Head,and Knuckles Chaotix. i probably have one or two that i forgot about. i'm trying to get as many games as i can before they become to rare i see that this site has a few that i don't have so i'll eventually be getting those. i used to have BC Racers but for some stupid reason i got rid of it now i'll most likely never see it again. 32x is my favorite system and i will never even think of getting rid of it or any of the games again! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steven () on Wednesday, September 5, 2001 at 10:06:37 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 32x has two 32 bit cpu's clocking in at 23mhz ,can dislpay 32768 colors simultaniously and can display 50000 polygons per sec --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Chris borntorock111@aol.com on Saturday, August 25, 2001 at 00:25:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of my favorite systems... it had really cool games ... i used to have one but when i moved it was misplaced or lost... but i am looking to buy one from this site very soon... doom was the best game made for it... and virtua fighter ... that game was and is still my favorite. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tommy D smashingfreak@hotmail.com on Saturday, May 5, 2001 at 09:11:37 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, i was wondering if the 32x made genesis games look better. did it improve the graphics, speed and sound? thnx-td --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Neil neil1481@webtv.net on Thursday, March 8, 2001 at 16:40:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The games on 32x were by far the best 32 bit games i had ever seen. games like mortal kombat 2 were a vast improvement on both the genesis and super nintendo versions. sound quality as well as a graphical upgrade were very much visable. when combined with the sega cd, the 32x became a reasonably high powered 32 bit cd based gaming system. the 32 x had a relativly small gaming library though. a good reason being that sony playstation was not far from being released at the time of the 32x's reign. though it had a small library many of its games were a blast to play. one of the most interesting and fun games ever produced by sega was star wars arcade, a great arcade port of the original. it was one of the first polygonal based games out there, never mind being a free roaming 3d fighter sim. it had superior graphical detail to that of the 16 bit systems as well as clear and distint voice representations of darth vader and admiral ackbar, to name a couple. i suggest if you allready have a genesis system, that you pick up a 32x as well as these entertaining titles: star wars arcade fred couples golf kolbri mortal kombat 2 virtua fighter ( i paid $80 for this game when it was first released and i lved every aspect of the game) doom (an absolutely must have for the 32x. though there were only 15 or so levels, and a lot of the enemies were absent, for a perephial system, it was great!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cloud Strife () on Tuesday, October 2, 2001 at 17:04:30 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jee Wizz, I love this thing! I got mine about 2 months ago, along with Virtua Fighter, Star Wars Arcade, Virtua Racing, and Doom. This is awesome. This had so much potential, and no one tapped into in. Probably the two best games are Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing. They really pushed the system with their polygons, and yet so much fun to play. Sega 32x kicks serious ass! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
