/vr/ - Retro Games

The Sega 32X was an add on for the Sega Genesis and was introduced rather late in the console's life. The 32X plays 32 bit games such as ports of Star Wars arcade, Primal Rage, and DOOM, as well as the Virtua series of video games. The 32X gets a lot of crap for what it is. I can't hate on it if I am being honest. All it does is play 32X games, and when a console (or add on) can only play it's games and do nothing else, all that matters is whether the games are good. There are pretty good games on the 32X. Take Doom for example. Okay it's nowhere near as good as the PlayStation version, and the 32X Doom is unfinished (which is a shame) but what does exist of it is promising. At least it has good controls, frame rate, and visible graphics unlike the abomination that is the SNES port of Doom.

The mushroom shape, how it went back to using carts after the Sega CD, the fact that its existence caused the Shiturn to fail... something very alluring about this thing. Oh, and most importantly, no fucking weebshit or cringey jarpigs to be seen in its library, instead it's all chad-tier action and sports games.

>Tempo, a better scotformer than any of the Shiturn's
>Zaxxon's Motherbase, a better SHUMP than any of the Shiturn's
>more accurate ports of Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing than the Shiturn's
>the best home versions of Mortal Kombat 2 and NBA Jam
>better port of DOOM than the Shiturn's

When will people realise the fact that the 32X is underrated as hell?

Also, how come Sega of Japan gave up on it so fast in favour of the Shiturn, an objectively inferiour system?

Why the fuck are these things so expensive now?

do you think the 32x was a powerful console?

What were they THINKING???
