Knowing that AvP could have been on the 32X is like a huge sword to the heart! That would have been a console seller!!

The 32X cancelled library seems better than the 32X actual library. I guess the only thing Sega forgot to put on the 32X was a brand new Sonic, a Streets of Rage game of some kind, and maybe a Shining Force or Phantasy Star RPG or both or any RPG for that matter.

[@Jenovi]

It had a lot of promise.

[@ClintonSr]

Knuckles Choatix was their closest Sonic title. The game had mixed reviews but I loved (and still do) play it. Awesome game play with great music and a good story.

[@pauldavis5665]

Knuckles Choatix was good, but I think a new Sonic sequel would have been a better move for Sega. Had they released a Sonic 4 exclusively on the 32X as a launch game I think that alone would have sold a lot more units.

[@jimstone8842]

@@pauldavis5665 Knuckles Chaotix is certainly better than any Sonic game sega put out since then until Mania, but it was a little half baked. If they would've had more time to finish the levels, and maybe developed a single player mode that didn't use the combi-ring, it would've been fantastic, instead what we got was good but not as good as the 16bit games.

[@retrocysper3709]

@@ClintonSr actually it's supposed to be a Sonic Game. It was Sonic Crackers for Genesis then they scrapped it and made it a Knuckles game for 32x.

As as a youngster? I always heard that Atari Jaguar had a really good version of "Alien Vs. Predator" & I considered buying the system on the strength of that title alone. I would've been HEARTBROKEN to get the First Person Shooter, not the Capcom game, even though the other is very good also!

[@wolfgangfrost8043]

I'm also really glad I never paid money for the Genesis version of Michael Jackson Moonwalker back then. The arcade was also an awesome beat 'em up! I expected that to be the "Genesis" vesion. The home version was a super lame platformer with nothing going for it! I'm shocked they didn't adapt the Arcade version of the game as best Genesis could do.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I think your documentaries are a very important part of gaming history that few if any people cover as in depth as you. Keep up the great work my friend, hope you're all well over there in the USA.

[@ChrisWY27]

The XBLA Port of Daytona USA is pretty darn close to the arcade version

[@skylinetv2778]

Of course, because it's re-skinned Sega Racing Classic port (There are leftovers in build info), where SRC is actually re-skinned and emulated Daytona USA with implemented widescreen patch/support or idk, just reworked m2emu widescreen patch

[@arostwocents]

😂

[@DerekMoore82]

I remember wanting to see a 32x version of Mortal Kombat after seeing how much better MKII was for 32x compared to Genesis.

[@Jenovi]

I owned MK and MK III growing up, so I'm with you. Would have loved to see these games on the 32X.

[@johndewberryiii9925]

It was like the Saturn but without the loading lol

[@maroon9273]

Crazy they released the sega CD version a few months before the 32x release. Were able to have enhanced FMv games of the sega CD instead of MK1 and others.

[@daveruda]

If only a competent group like sculptured software was given the rains to port the trilogy to the 32x it could have been the best of the bunch.

[@Jonnybravo-808]

I remember wanting a 32X so bad because the Capcom Alien vs Predator was supposed to be ported. I can't believe they did'nt end up porting it on the Saturn. It would've been arcade perfect.

[@Jenovi]

One of my favorite arcade games to not come home.

[@soulintake]

I would have loved to have had that on 32x!

[@NotaPizzaGRL]

I wonder if it did not get released because Capcom lost the license to Fox Interactive. Then there's the whole problem of expanding the game for home release so some reviewer in Gamepro or some mag like that didn't complain that the game was too short, too repetitive, and other nonsense like that.

[@traceytaggart1740]

Alien Trilogy and Aliens vs. Predator would have excellent. That and that X-Men that was never finished. If those had come, I’d still have my 32x/Genesis/Sega CD I had back in high school.

[@MasterCastTV]

Losing the Castlevania game is painful. I was actually really excited for that one.

[@jokerzwild00]

Oooh I would have wanted to play The Bloodletting so damn bad.

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

Great video, it sucks ports of games like Aliens VS Predator and Dark Stalkers where cancelled, they could have done the system wonders!

[@Fjadls254]

Then again, Darkstalkers' PS1 port would still easily overshadow the 32X. At least, in terms of sales.

[@creativecatproductions]

As an early adopter of the 32X this video holds a special place in my heart. I remember how many of these were promised in magazines….yet they never came. Rough times! I felt burned by Sega as a supporter. Great video

[@Jenovi]

Yeah, I too was waiting on many games that never released.

[@amerigocosta7452]

Very good video. At least it's not the usual "32X. Does it really suck?" or "What the hell was SEGA thinking when they released the 32x?" kind of video.

[@Jenovi]

Ah, well I really love the 32X and what it did for gamers. I think it's almost criminal that support was cut for it so early on. Glad to hear you enjoyed this.

[@enemyofthestatevcdking5982]

Exactly

[@carlzimmerman8700]

Their is an excellent port of Daytona USA available for the Xbox 360 online in the Xbox live Arcade store. It can also be played on the Xbox1. I've played the Saturn version and have used the AM2 emulator to run the real arcade ROM on a high end pc. In my opinion the Xbox arcade port is as good as its gets short of actually having the real deal quarter eating machine in your living room.

[@briansteiger918]

Yes! I still play it pretty regularly on my Xbox one. I also own it on PS3. It's an HD remaster. There was also a great version for Sega Dreamcast.

[@JohnSTF72]

Didn't know they were so many unreleased games for the 32X. Castlevania: Bloodletting and AvP would be the most interesting imo. 32X was ultimately the victim of Sega's bad timing and the imminet release of the Sega Saturn. Nice video.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks John, I would love AVP on a home system. I just played through the arcade game a few months back and it's still great.

[@thehumbleone1983]

Sad I wish and would have love to see alien vs predictor or castlevania game for 32x

Would have loved to have seen the 32X Daytona, I did hear rumours Sega were even considering a Master System port of the game :S But most excellent video work, really enjoyed it. The custom box art you created too must have been a real time vampire for you too, Kudos!!!

[@Jenovi]

Thank you Larry! Those boxes did take some time but were totally worth it. I can't imagine a Master System port of Daytona being good, but I've been shocked by the quality pumped out of that system before, so who knows.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

I loved Loadstar as a kid. Would've loved to see another game in the same vein by the same developer. Great video as usual.

[@francescosmith7859]

Holy Cow! That is a ton of games and it's only A - D, wow. I knew the 32X had a lot cancelled but never would have guessed so much. Sega, you truly missed a golden opportunity in the US. I look forward to more of the series though it's also with a bit of sadness as Sega truly shot itself in the foot cancelling everything but the Saturn as the Genesis, CD and 32X all had more life to live.

[@Jenovi]

This new video is a bit of an experiment. What did you think of the format? Would you prefer a more detailed overview of the games that did see releases on another system compared to what I did here? Let me know.

[@vince19games]

Good format! I like the level of detail as presented in this video. Perfect bite-sized info of each game.

[@redsyrup1138]

Looks good. I haven't seen anyone else on KZbin address unreleased titles on any platform let alone 32X. You went the extra mile and showed screenshots and dev prototypes when possible. Bravo!

[@rexthesheep]

The only thing I'd suggest is having a little caption saying what game/version the onscreen footage is from when you're using footage from games other than the one being talked about. That's a minor complaint if anything, though.

[@enemyofthestatevcdking5982]

I luv it

[@ColonelNegative]

I really enjoyed the video an the format. The more information on each game, the better. Cheers!

[@LeoDoesAllThis]

5:38 I think you actually mean the other Batman Forever game, which was developed by Probe Entertainment. Because according to Wikipedia, GamePro reported that a 32X version of that game was present at E3 1995, but it went unreleased. Also, the unreleased enhanced port of Boogerman makes me think of Earthworm Jim: Special Edition (Sega CD) and Earthworm Jim 2 being ported to the 32X as well, even though nobody managed to make or announce those games for the system.

[@DraculaMarth]

The reason AVP development never moved to another platform was apparently because 20th Century Fox hated the game. There was this Twitter thread by the former Capcom artist Akitomo about how western comics influenced Capcom games and he mentions that Capcom kept asking 20th Century Fox to let them port the game up until 2000, but they kept refusing. He speculated that they didn't like that it was an action beat-em-up instead of a scary horror game. Of course, in 2019, they relented and Capcom put it on the overpriced arcade stick, but I think 20th Century Fox was just doing whatever they wanted at that point before The Mouse swallowed them up. Additional fun fact: Linn Kurosawa was created because they wanted to include Machiko from the comics but only had the rights to characters from the movies.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks for sharing. That really is an interesting tidbit.

[@GameInterest]

I love videos like this that bring to light games most people had never even heard of. Keep up the good work!

[@Jenovi]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

[@timgerritsen7579]

Cool to see this. I worked at Sega Midwest on Aftershock. There were some great people working there subject to some questionable management.

[@Jenovi]

Any interesting stories you can share? How did you get hooked up there? Where did you go when Sega Midwest closed?

[@timgerritsen7579]

Hey, Jenovi. Nothing I can share here, unfortunately. I've been in the video game industry for 26 years, and Sega Midwest was my second company after Dynamix. There was so much promise there, but so little delivery.

[@GamerGee]

Aliens vs predator would have been a great port

[@tarasybnios5356]

They should at least ported AvP to Sega Saturn.. Huge let down!! At least we got Story of Thor 2!! One of my greatest games of all time!

[@jeremymitchell4370]

I love how you understand the frustrations of being a 32x owner. Please show me more of what we never got i love when the topic is the 32x

[@SpiralPegasus]

The thing with the 32X is it had little to no reason to be. The Saturn, though rushed out, was something that had a very short time before release, and SEGA had flooded the market with their products by then - Mega Drive, SEGA CD, GG, and SMS were _all active!_ and the Saturn was a few months' time away from arrival. Then comes an add-on... for a console that _already had_ an add-on (that gave it better benefits than the 32X itself offered). And then you remember that the Mega Drive had a Virtua Racing port that moped the floor ten thousand times with any 3D game the SNES had, and consider you could use that tech to develop other blazing fast 3D games. What the hell would you want the 32X for, then? Everything that was meant for it, or released on it, should've been left to CD, SVP or Saturn... All these cancelled games tell, however, that there were a lot of devs willing to bet on it. Shame.

[@maroon9273]

Thank you, it was too late to even bring out the 32x when you already have a lot of hardware on the market.

[@wanyo]

I didn't realize so many games were left on the table when they killed the 32X, it's unfortunate we don't have more dumps of the prototypes for them.

[@Jenovi]

The list is long. This only covers games A-D

[@wanyo]

I definitely have to look more into the list! :D

[@Silanda]

Something to bear in mind about the Duel demo and Mean Machines is that IIRC their sister magazine, which was the official Sega Magazine, published arcade shots of some games claiming that they were the Saturn or 32x versions (Virtua Racing and Daytona, for example). Mean Machines may have published them too, but I can't remember. Magazines of the time were quite good at either misunderstanding or misrepresenting what they were being shown. Judging from the small, low quality clip available, that Duel demo's animation was extremely impressive for the time. IMO too impressive for building actual game from at the time.

[@PlumbDrumb]

That's kinda funny Midwest Studios has a tornado for a logo :D

[@weirdproq]

I would have loved for an enhanced version of Dynamite Headdy on the 32x, as well as Boogerman and C2: Judgement Clay. I hope someone dumps C2 online sometime somehow. I always love playing old-school enhanced ports of games, like the Sega CD versions of Earthworm Jim and Mickey Mania.

[@mintydog06]

That front cover of Duel at 11:45 the alien is IDENTICAL to the Reptilian Xindi from Star Trek Enterprise!

[@Jenovi]

It’s an Easter egg. I thought​ it looked great on the box + I was wondering how many fellow Star Trek fans were watching this show. 😁 I appreciate the comment.

[@mintydog06]

Haha brilliant. I was confused thinking did Star Trek rip off an alien from a cancelled game. Good work.

[@UserNameMandatory]

Duel cover art is an alien species Xindi from Star Trek Enterprise series.

[@Jenovi]

:D It took a while but someone finally noticed this.

[@townlinetim876]

I like this new format. Keep the overview but cut it to a few sentences. Then use it for a teaser or a quick intro. That would be cool, and a better way to introduce Retro Impressions. Just a thought. Great video.

[@Jenovi]

Are you talking about the intro segment before I start discussing the games? If so, that's essentially the plan.

[@townlinetim876]

Yes that's it. A Retro Impressions trailer would also be cool. You have great editing skills.

[@Jamie-yp7qz]

I’ve been researching Genesis homebrew development, and I hope to tackle the 32X when I get experienced with the Genesis hardware

[@sparksterz]

Holy crap...I didn't know there were that many! Thanks for covering this, looking forward to more. So bummed that AVP arcade never got a home port. I remember coming across it on Mame and wondering why I had never played it before given arcade porting was a big thing in that era.

[@etienneamien]

2D capcom and arcade games as well as castlevania would have been the best collectible games ever for the 32X and probably on par with Neogeo

[@paulwestphal7336]

A guy I know swears he saw a 32x mortal combat 3 cart while living in southern Oregon. I guess the developer lived down there.. but who knows

[@strikermaximus365]

[@aceofhearts573]

AMAZING video. I always wondered what games got cancelled when the 32x was prematurely discontinued !!!! Thank you, i was there at thr 32x release day. What a time and even though everyone seems to hate the 32x today everyone was excited for it when it came ouy. I could not afford a saturn or ps1 but i got the 32x instead.

[@Jenovi]

Same here!

[@mikec3260]

Wow what a list of games, I remember some of them in the mags, highly disappointed the 32x was dropped. Descent would have been a great one, I looked forward to 32xtreme and a couple others! Good stuff! Oh and Subbed!

[@whitestriderable]

The 32x was an impressive machine, but it came out too late, the Sega Saturn was already in development and came out shortly after.

I owned a 32X, I got it at the end of its life cycle for dirt cheap with Virtua Fighter as a pack in game. I had a few other games such as Star Wars and Doom. In my opinion, Sega should have rode out the 32X another year so more games could have been finished and released. It is NOT a bad system, despite the poor reputation it has. It just has a lackluster library of games. If you can find out on eBay or somewhere for cheap, get it. I wish I still had mine just for the sake of nostaglia.

[@ColonelNegative]

Great video! If only we had a port of the AVP Arcade game!

[@paulmccarthy508]

[@Jenovi]

The bad news is Virtual Hampster is still 3-4 episodes away. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the box art, I spent a fair bit of time making those.

[@souljahjustice7715]

32 bits mean it had the power of ps1 which was also 32 bits. Different hardware but either or they never used the 32x to its fullest potential but somebody originally, obviously, did and I bet there's a few complete but unreleased gems waiting out there

[@cessnaace]

The Jaguar also had far more announced games than games actually released. Of course the Jaguar, like the Dreamcast, has a very active aftermarket and homebrew community. I've never seen any aftermarket releases for the 32X. Instead of releasing another Genesis/MD Mini, I'd love to see Sega release the Neptune, a planned console that would play all Genesis and 32X cartridge based games. Prototypes and reproductions exist. There have been several aftermarket releases for the Genesis/MD. I have 4 or 5 in my collection.

[@vince19games]

Damn man I had no idea that the 32X had so many cancelled games. I wonder how much money was collectively spent on all of these unfinished projects? Crazy to think about. And I wonder how the stack of cancelled 32X games compares with other systems. I would imagine it to be higher and maybe in line with something like the Dreamcast and the Jag. Nice video, sir! And I loved Zero Tolerance on the Genesis!!

[@Jenovi]

An unreal amount of money. The decision to end the Genesis and 32X wasn't well thought out. It not only hurt Sega, but also every company that had invested their future into these systems. I'm not done with my research just yet, but there are about 3 canceled games for every game that released. More important I believe is the amount of time the system was being supported vs the number of games that released vs what got canned. A system like the Jag was on the market for nearly 3 years yet has close to the same number of games as the 32X.

[@miaouew]

SERIOUSLY?! AVP ARCADE?! CASTLEVANIA?! DARKSTALKERS? Wow...that would have been too awesome. and that cover for BIOSFear looks like a horror game, wild to see the associated screenshots

[@deltatango-six7941]

Capcom's CPS2 Alien vs. Predator is my absolute favorite arcade beat 'em up of all time. It would have been so amazing if they actually released this for the 32X. To this day we never got a home port of it.

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

NES classic California Games? This game was released on many platforms. Not sure why the nes version would stand out. Great video! This is a positive comment!

[@Jenovi]

Well, maybe just in my mind. Growing up, nearly everyone owned or had friends who owned a Mario game, Contra, a Mega Man game, T & C Surf, and California Games for the NES. I never even knew until I was an adult that California Games was released on other systems because I had only seen it for the NES. So to me, it was an NES classic being it's the platform everyone owned it on. So, yeah maybe I shouldn't have definitively said that being it was based on my experience rather than fact. Appreciate the comment and feedback.

[@BassPaddleSensei]

This really got me wanting to try out Descent

[@e.l.4409]

About AvP, according to the Japanese side of KZbin, Capcom were working on a Saturn port that would have been released along side the D&D beat em up ports, but it also got cancelled.

It looks like there were more games planned for the 32x when it was discontinued than the Dreamcast. I would have loved to have seen SVP and 32x games like Daytona and Darkstalkers. Just 15 games is so sad for a Saturn running on a Mega Drive.

Thats why homebrews exist my friend, TONS of "unreleased" 32x games that you can now get thanks to homebrews and roms/emulators etc. it's to the point now where you can literally get them in physical carts now. 32x, n64, hell even dreamcast. Pretty much any retro console now, has homebrews. n with the amount that are out there, like i said, TONS! from people making there own games from legit scratch, to people taking ports and re-porting them (so, as an example" daytona usa, was for saturn but pretty much has same specs to be ran on 32x, in other words it's been ported to 32x and you CAN no get it on the 32x) long as there was some rom released or some prior port and someone cleaver enough to re-port it, homebrews have pretty much saved retro consoles. it used to be a thing of like, retro consoles were solely for collecting and maybe to scratch a nostalgia bug (if you will) now-a-days with all the homebrews, it's actually like buying a "new" game but for your old system, it actually gives the system more meaning now and more life, and the library of games just keeps growing, yah they aren't "official" games, but seriously who the fuck cares, long as they can run/function on the console itself (or obv emus if you don't want to go that route) then it's a win win and at the end of the day homebrews really do just give extra life to retro consoles, i have such a shit ton of homebrews for my dreamcast it's not even funny from ports like half life, to fan made games that are just 100% from scratch by the person, the list is endless. Just recently i Picked up the Goldfinger64 cart for the N64 and have already had quite a few people pass by it and want to play it, every time, it's the same reaction "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE A GOLDFINGER GAME FOR N64!" lol because they didn't my friend that's the power of homebrews. long as there are dedicated people out there continuing to port things/create new things, homebrews are endless and you can literally start and entirely NEW collection of games for your retro console. it's a beautiful thing. The 32x library isn't as small as everyone wants to keep crying about. the OFFICIAL library may be but that's just because you don't know about homebrews then. suggest looking into them and you'll see the 32x collection is actually quite strong.

日本ではすぐに廃れてしまったけれど海外では多くのセガ・サターンにひけをとらないソフトが発売されていて、32x及びメガドライブのファンとして嬉しく思った。

The colors are freaking perfect

[@brownstickwetfoot4247]

I recognize the music at 00:43 til 1:23, but can't place what game it's from. Anybody have a clue?

[@Vekstar]

You remind me of the energy and personality of retropolis zone and the knack for knowledge like Lairds lair. consider me a new subscriber.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks! Happy to have you on board.

[@J-gritty]

If AvP was available for the 32X I would have kept my 32X.

[@Jenovi]

It would have been epic.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Is there any documentation around the 32x port of AvP? I ask because Capcom didn't support the Genesis very much, releasing only six games. But the port of Punisher was done not by Capcom themselves, but Sculptured Software, which makes me wonder if they were working on the AvP port as well...

[@Jenovi]

Unfortunately, at this time there isn't. We know what games they had in development for the system (Street Fighter, AVP, and Darkstalkers) and that's about it. It's a real shame because I love AVP, in fact, I played through it with my son last Friday. It's still an amazing game I wish more people could experience.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

It is still a super good brawler, but the Punisher port to the Genesis is a bit lacking, so I can't help but wonder if AvP could have fallen victim to the same fate.

[@SuperKokuJin916]

Capcom could've actually been releasing near perfect ports of their arcade titles. If anyone could've unlocked the true power of the 32X besides Sega, it would've been Capcom! AVP would've been a crown jewel for the 32X. And I'm almost certain the Street Fighter title in development would've been Super Turbo. Capcom could've righted the wrongs of the Genesis port of vanilla Super. It looked and sounded terrible. I did NOT see nor hear 40 Megs of assets in that release. It felt like a Western developed port (future research for that one!). I was a HUGE Darkstalkers fan and would've bought a 32X just for that one alone.

[@Jenovi]

Believe it or not, it was Street Fighter the Movie..... The Arcade Game.

[@overkill1473]

Capcoms Alien Vs Predator was moved to the Sega Satuirn in Japan. Before completion they ran out of the 20th century fox license.

[@enemyofthestatevcdking5982]

Incredible video I luv my 32x

[@Jenovi]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@michelledubberke7098]

Just found your channel awesome video just subscribed!

[@Jenovi]

Thanks! Glad you found something to stick around for.

[@Domarius64]

1:30 "The NES classic California Games"? It was originally created for the Apple II and C64. Here's a list of the platforms it was ported to: Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Apple IIGS, Atari 2600, Atari Lynx, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, MSX, NES, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Master System, ZX Spectrum. I.e - everything at the time.

[@Jenovi]

Well, maybe just in my mind. Growing up, nearly everyone owned or had friends who owned a Mario game, Contra, a Mega Man game, T & C Surf, and California Games for the NES. I never even knew until I was an adult that California Games was released on other systems because I had only seen it for the NES. So to me, it was an NES classic being it's the platform everyone owned it on. So, yeah maybe I shouldn't have definitively said that being it was based on my experience rather than fact (I own the Genesis version and have played it on PC.) Appreciate the comment.

[@33Dannyb]

The 32X should’ve just been a chip in Genesis games and not a full console add on. Should have continued with the chip they put in Virtua Racing.

[@ronlivingstone1634]

I need to understand why sega genesis was rushing the 32X out during Christmas in 1995. especially when 32X doom didn't come with the 3rd section of levels and lacks the BFG9000

[@Jenovi]

I really hope to put out a video covering just that before the year's end.

[@railroadaddict1884]

You missed Soul Star the port of the Sega CD game. There is a beta version out there somewhere. This along with a version of FIFA soccer is out there too.

[@shimshambam]

Slenderman on the Biospear cover, lol.

[@Jenovi]

:D

[@gisone79]

Great work !!!! Wonderful video

[@Jenovi]

Many thanks for watching.

[@robertgoodnight900]

Its a travesty we never got a AvP home port. Oh well, at least CPS2 can be easily emulated. This is one of my favorite arcade beat em ups.

[@Jenovi]

Thankfully, because it's the only way I've been able to play the game. I've yet to see the arcade cabinet.

[@JessicaChastainFan]

The AVP arcade game on 32X would have been huge. Missed release opportunity. :(

[@Jenovi]

A miss for the 32X and humanity.

[@WowplayerMe]

While you are correct in saying Black Angel (2:00) was never released, it evolved into Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 & I know it got released since I still have my original copy of the game.

[@Jenovi]

The video really should have had a label describing the gameplay being shown when not the game being discussed. That’s the case here. Viewpoint and Zaxxon were similar in style, so I used Zaxxon footage here.

[@ezequielgomez7083]

I was not happy that Daytona USA on 32x was cancelled and never release that would be a great racing game on 32x

[@Jenovi]

Same.

[@tarasybnios5356]

Castlevania and Beyond Oasis 32X versions is a dream I would always have!! Btw what version of Alone in the Dark 2 is this?

[@SuaveCerealKiller]

I get sad thinking about what could have been..darkstalkers, avp...maybe some neo geo ports..

[@Jenovi]

So much potential.

[@juandelrio7789]

Darkstalkers! I am still hoping for a day when we get like a Darkstalkers with new challengers and a new anime.

[@dad7275]

Yes I'd like to see more. Is it true the 32x enhances the visuals of the Genesis? Thanks. I subbed by the way. 😋👍

[@Jenovi]

Enhanced might be the wrong way to think of it. It was a new system that build upon the prior, just like all Sega Systems before it. I.E. the Genesis was build upon the Master System. So the 32X had full access to the Genesis hardware along with more powerful hardware to layer more technical details into the picture.

[@sidearmsalpha]

The 32X had so much potential. I wanted to get it but the lackluster releases kept me from getting it. If many of these games had actually made it to market, I would have picked it up for sure. SEGA pulled the plug on it too soon.

[@Jenovi]

For sure, there are a ton of myths and misinformation about the 32X out there. It’s a great little system.
