Topic: Sega 32X

[beingthehero]

Were any of you bad dudes bad enough to have one of these? I remember getting it at Toys R Us from the bargain bin. Until then, I had no idea it even existed. Apparently it was originally released for a ridiculous price, except approximately 0 people bought it. Then it headed to the bargain bin, where 12 people bought it including myself.

I had a single game for it: Star Wars. It was a rather bland Ace Combat-sort of game, instead bad. I think it was a port of the arcade game. The only other game I saw for it at the store was DOOM, which apparently was an incredibly shoddy port. I was never cool enough to get or even find Knuckles Chaotix...

It's kind of odd to think this add-on should have technically offered 32-bit graphics on a 16-bit system.

I can't think of a single 32X game I'd want to play. For years I wanted to try out Knuckles' Chaotix, but I played it on an emulator and wasn't having any fun, so that was the end of that.

My brother and I played the shit out of Knuckles Chaotix. Love that game. My sister played a lot of Doom.

And that's about it.

I paid full price for mine, and bought it at the same time as I bought a Genesis. 

I remember playing Doom and having fun, but I hadn't played the PC version at that point. And Mortal Kombat II played and looked fairly well, from what I remember. But I never owned anything for it.

The 32X was probably the most poorly-planned purchase I ever made.

Got it for Christmas instead of a Nintendo 64 and was PISSED OFF

All I got to say about the 32X version of Doom is this:

DOOM 32X Soundtrack: E1M1: At Doom's Gate

Jesus, is that terrible music compared with this....

Doom E1M1 - At Hell's Gate (Doom 95 Version)

Never really saw anything else from the 32X... remember the release, and precisely no-one I knew bought one who had their Megadrive, so only ever got to play Doom on it in the shop (when shops were more lenient in what got thrown on the TV - certainly the game store I went to back then was). Of course, having had Doom for quite a while on the PC already, I thought that port, naturally, sucked.

i've never heard a single redeeming thing about the 32x ever since i first heard of it. one futile attempt to prolong the life of the sega megadrive/genesis

Check out the AVGN video on the 32X. It pretty-much sums up what a lot of people think about it.

Doom on the 32x sucked ass, even the SNES version was better.  MK2 was the only good game on the system.
