32x VS Supergrafx

[VenomMacbeth]

I'm sure this is a dumb question to ask this forum, but which do you think is the better console?

The 32x had a larger library, but the Supergrafx didn't require oodles of wires & power adapters.  Both end in "x" and sold poorly.  Discuss!

a very dumb question indeed

in technical terms: the 32x for sure (beside the fact that it isn't even a stand alone system)
in games/style/etc. terms: for me personally he SGFX for sure.

Are we talking about strictly based off the library?

If so, I'd pick the 32X.   

Kolibri and Blackthorne!

I prefer the 32X library and have spent much more time with it than the SuperGrafx library, which I had full access to back when I had a SuperGrafx and a flashcard (plus original copies of most of the SGX HuCards).

I just wish I could add a SuperGrafx onto my TurboGrafx-16 instead of having a whole separate console. People lambasted Sega for doing that. But really, there's no way to win.

SGX all the way

SGX is OBEY and 32X is FEKA.  There is no comparison.

I feel like this should lean more in the 32x' favor.  It's got a much larger library, and it's much more affordable.  Comparing specs is a bit unfair, but I definitely prefer the 32x, even with the turds in its library.

[Arkhan]

If super grafx had just a few more games I would definitely pick it, but it doesn't really offer much that the PCE itself doesn't offer me.


32X offers me Kolibri, which is Ecco the Dolphin + Drugs.

and all those first person 3Dish explosion games.

My answer is probably far from balanced, since I only own the 32X, but I'd give it the edge based on the library mainly.  It's got games for almost every genre (except RPG), and even some very innovative games that were pretty unique for the time.

I thought Ecco the Dolphin was Ecco the Dolphin + Drugs.

Is Kolibri really all that good?  IE Worth the price of admission?

This should be a three way dance with the Virtual Boy!  I'd go VB over the 32x and Super Grafx over them both!!

I think it's a really fun game and the graphics+music are great.


You basically fly around shooting things that launch enemies out, and save hummingbirds.
