Agreed.  Wish they'd taken it a step further & done some scalers we haven't seen a bajillion times, though, like proper versions of Galaxy Force and Thunder Blade.  Or Enduro Racer, maybe?

enduro racer = OK, thunderblade = would have been cool (why no saturn version ever?), galaxy force II = impossible.

The 32X was a stupid idea and most of the games were C- type stuff with maybe 1 or 2 I'd actually play. It's easily the stupidest thing Sega ever did...but it's still a better library than the SGX.

But I really don't see the point in this question.

Um, discussion?  To see if NEC console bias wins over a larger library?  Why post here if you don't see the point, then?

[vestcoat]

SGX on the grounds that it is a console.

SGX is an abortion. I love it, but five games does not a console make.

But I really don't see the point in this question.

Yeah. On the plus side, it's more interesting than the collector orgies dominating every other thread.

Games on the 32X I enjoy:

Kolibri
Darxide (yeahoooo)
Metal head
Blackthorne
Afterburner
Primal Rage!
Space Harrier

some other stuff too


There's at least more crap worth playing on it than SGX.

[Tatsujin]

isn't Zaxxon Motherbase 2000 considered as one of the better games on the 32x?

[Black Tiger]

Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Doom
Space Harrier
Afterburner

That's enough for me, but there are many more worthwhile games, especially if you judge them on their own and not based on whether they are available elsewhere.

For exclusive games, there's stuff like Tempo, Knuckles Chaotix and Kolibri. Literally all of the exclusive SuperGrafx games are Aldynes, Gandzort and Battle Ace. Aldynes is basically the killer app.

I've heard it's not fantastic, but I'm a sucker for flat-shaded polygons & spaceship shoot-em-ups, so it's a likely purchase for me.

I've also heard Cosmic Carnage is abysmal, but I've ordered it anyway.  Hopefully it's not so bad with a friend!

Can you get past stage 1? I sure as hell can't I don't die or anything, I just keep blowing stuff up and nothing ever happens. Yes, I get the enemy ships, too.

Primal Rage!

Must be an acquired taste.

You have to literally blow everything up.  There's that asteroid meter on the right side that updates when you blow stuff up.

It's basically a really cracked out 3D asteroids game?   You just shoot all the asteroids and flying donuts and stuff.

Must be an acquired taste.

It's dinosaurs and gorillas burping/farting/killing each other.   It's pretty fun.

Though, the moves in the game are f*cking annoying to do with a controller

I would give someone $5 to run up to that kangaroo as fast as they could and just start punching and kicking it as hard and as fast as possible.

That's cruel and not amusing. I'll pay someone $5 to urinate on your computer. That's cruel but amusing.
