Anybody here have a complete 32X collection?

[Guntz]

Doesn't matter if it's restricted to region or game contents, like say a US cart and box collection.

[Genesis32XCD]

I think I've seen some pics of a complete US collection at digitpress.

[kgenthe]

I've nearly got a complete US collection, missing World Series Baseball, Spider-Man, and Night Trap.

Here is a complete collection from Digitpress:

Good luck on getting Spiderman! Without sacrificing an arm and a leg... I'm working on my collection. All i have so far is...

Doom
Mortal Kombat 2
Metal Head
Star Wars Arcade
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing
WWF Raw (it was cheap and in the case)
NBA Jam (in box)
Shadow Squadron

I think that's it so far.... from memory....

[Guntz]

^Here's what I have:

After Burner (w/ box and manual)
Doom x2 (w/box and manual, w/box and manual)
Golf Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples (sealed)
Metal Head (w/box and manual)
Mortal Kombat II (w/ box)
Shadow Squadron (w/box and manual)
Star Wars Arcade (w/box and manual)
Tempo (w/box and manual)
Virtua Fighter (w/box and manual)
Virtua Racing Deluxe (w/box and manual)

10 titles in total.

I'm gonna just cut open a flap in the plastic on Fred Couples Golf on the top, no need to get rid of it all. :)

I would be at 17 32X games (all with boxes and manuals except for MKII) if not for a deal going bad... I don't want to get into details, not because of shipping, but because I had to send the games back... :(

I have a complete US edition 32X collection. All my 32x games are complete with boxes, inserts and instruction manuals.

Did you want to see something specific?

[Guntz]

All of it? :]

Here is mine, the bottom loose cartridges are Blackthorne, T-Mek, and BC Racers.

[Guntz]

Mmm... Love those boxed 32X games... Thanks for the pic! :D

I notice one game in particular is in bad shape, that being Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure... I notice 32X boxes seem to be susceptible to sun fade, my Mom (who worked with printing at one point) says that Yellow can fade very easily.

... I actually do have another request for you (since you are actively posting). If you line those games up on a shelf with only their sides showing, think you could snap a pic?

Pitfall came in a lot of games I got off eBay. It was obvious that this lot was stored in a cardboard box in a very moist basement for years. The musty smell if finally gone, but the box looks awful. Sadly, I haven't found a reasonably priced replacement so I still have it.

How can people store these games in some wet old basement? This lot of 10 32X games I bought probably had the same storage conditions, but were in FAR worse shape... So bad I had to return them, they were just a health hazard!

Still looking for more 32X games as they pop up on eBay...

:eek: :love: :chewie:

Those yellow spines look amazing on a shelf... I think Yellow is my favorite color. Thanks a bunch for posting that pic too! :)

I probably won't ever get a complete 32X collection because some of those games ARE actually bad and I don't go out of my way to buy bad games - not to mention Spiderman costs a small fortune - but I do have a lot of other 32X games on my wish list.

[matteus]

when I look at those titles nothing strikes me as REALLY bad maybe the cd 32x titles and the shoddy ports but the 32x library doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth

[Scooter]

I got bored. Here's my collection. The better looking ones are the ones I bought new back in the day.

Ah, so you obviously haven't yet played the 32X versions of BC Racers, Cosmic Carnage or Moto Cross. A lot of them are so like their regular Genesis bretheran that they don't really deserve to be in a yellow box. Cosmic Carnage is probably the absolutely worse game I've ever owned. No really, it's barely even playable.

[Aarzak]

Mind if I hijack this thread to uh, test the waters and ask if anyone's interested in a brand-new copy of "Primal Rage" 32X?

[mrbigreddog]

Yes!!!

[Guntz]

I'm not all that interested in Primal Rage. Much less a sealed copy because those are naturally expensive. I would rather just get an already opened copy.

Good luck with finding an owner though Aarzak. :)

[Aarzak]

If I decide to let it go, it definitely won't be costing an arm and an leg.

sega fan.........do you live in the U.S?

[Guntz]

Eh, I wouldn't want to deprive someone of their chance to add another game to their sealed 32X collection, no matter how evil that practice is (games are meant to be played). Especially when opened copies are much easier to find.

That and Primal Rage doesn't seem that appealing to me...

[kpacheco]

How much and how hard would you think it would cost me to get a complete 32x collection?

Right know I already have
Spider-Man Web of Fire CIB
Kolibri CIB
Knuckles Chatix CIB

[PimpUigi]

I think the only hard part is if you want the JP and EU exclusive games, CIB

Well you got past the hard part, with the exception of Blackthorne and the international exclusives if you want those. Other than that, the only games that are hard to find are the lesser known Genesis ports like Primal Rage, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and so forth. Everything past that is easy.

I'll say from where you are, $300 or $400 is what it'd likely cost to get the other games you want. Not specific by any means but a general ballpark. :|

[David J.]

I thought Primal Rage was pretty shit on the 32X. I wonder how well the CD32X Port was going to be...

[Aarzak]

32XCD port? There wasn't gon' be a 32XCD port foo'.

Primal Rage 32X was alright. Its in the same vain as MK2 32X (both of which were ported by Probe); 32X handles the character sprites, life bars, text and the foreground and some sfx, while the Genesis handles the music, backgrounds and other sfx. It was the best port of PR on cart, and the best out outside of the PC port if you wanted to avoid the load times of the 3DO/Playstation/Saturn ports.

[Guntz]

Eh, the puking, farting and pissing kinda turns me off Primal Rage. I'd rather play MKII, gorefests are more tolerable IMO.

How is Brutal: Above the Claw anyway?

[Scooter]

How is Brutal: Above the Claw anyway?

Graphics are better, game play is better but still not great. Virtua Fighter is the best of the bunch, bar none.

[PimpUigi]

Cosmic Carnage blows away Brutal.

I actually like Cosmic Carnage...I think it's better than Turtles Tournament Fighters on the Genesis as well.

[Guntz]

I still need to get Cosmic Carnage... Actually, there's a lot of 32X games I still need to get, especially Kolibri and Knuckles' Chaotix. Thing is I usually buy cheap games for a new system first before buying the pricier games. I think it's about time now...

[Jasper061992]

Doh! I feel so jealous of your collection guys. I only have a few boxed games and one Knuckles Chaotix loose cart.

[jiblore]

I'm selling my complete 32x colelction on ebay UK at the moment. No one seems interested. It's annoying because over the years it's cost me over £1000!!

[matteus]

Thats probably because only a complete loon would buy a complete 32x collection for £799.00! There's no fun in collecting them all together for that much :)

[Quanto]

I got to say, I'm jealous of your collections as well. I only have the 8 games that my family had bought back in 1996.
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Shadow Squadron
Metal Head
NBA Jam TE
Doom
Space Harrier
and Knuckles Chaotix

To be honest, I think the love (or hate) people had for the 32x back in the mid 90s had a lot to do with the Games that they bought from the start.

I'm pretty pleased with the (tiny) library of games we had gotten back in those years and all of them were enjoyable. One of my other friends however had also bought a 32x after I did, and he didn't like it as much. (He was dumb and bought Motocross.)

[Da_Shocker]

Cosmic Carnage blows away Brutal.

I actually like Cosmic Carnage...I think it's better than Turtles Tournament Fighters on the Genesis as well.

WHAT!? LOL I have both of them and while Brutal has it's shortcomings CC is the worst 32X game by far. I hold Sega to higher standards than Game Tek and Sega let me down with turd of game that looks, sounds and plays worse than Eternal Champions.

[Guntz]

Well that means Cosmic Carnage is not too bad, since Eternal Champions sounds and plays great. :p

[Da_Shocker]

What I mean is that EC was the last fighting game Sega had done on the Genesis and then they allowed CC to be ab early game for the 32X and it was simply AWFUL and I mean the worst 32X game I have ever played. I thought Moto Cross was a bad game but it did offer me sum fun. (very little.)

[Scooter]

BC Racers would seriously compete for the worst 32X game, but Cosmic Carnage would have to win the prize by a nose.

[ooXxXoo]

I just completed my Us 32X collection,(including some imports)....BC RACERS is definitely one of the worst.. I enjoy playing alot World Series Baseball starring Dion Sanders, and yes, over Spider-man web-of fire any day...

[Scooter]

Web of Fire is okay, nothing outstanding. Blackthorne and Shadow Squadron are probably the most overlooked and underloved 32X games, both are great. Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing are superior to their Genesis and Saturn sequels.

[Da_Shocker]

After I got my 32X in 98 and started buying games Sega made me wonder about their quality control with that system or lack thereof. There are some good games for it but a majority of them are mediocre to terrible. Blackthorne showed what a 3rd party game could like when it was built from the ground up on the 32X.

[Scooter]

Blackthorne showed what a 3rd party game could like when it was built from the ground up on the 32X.

That said, don't you think Blackthrorne could have been done on Genesis just as well? I really like the game, but I never understood why they felt the need to make it a 32X exclusive (as far as Sega machines anyway). Shadow Squadron was another one that deserved a wider audience, it should have at least been ported to Saturn.

Shadow Squadron DID make it to the Saturn, but they made it a Japan-only exclusive. Texture-mapped, 16:9 aspect, 14 missions, some of them were pretty epic too. My favorite missions were 3 that took place around a Terra-formed Venus. Some pretty cool level design overall. HOWEVER, I would not call the Saturn Version an improvement. You spend WAAAAAAY too much time in auto-pilot, and WAAAAAAY too much time is spent listening to your wingmates chatter away in moonspeak.

Ha! Never heard of that version, but then I don't have my Saturn modded to play imports either. It looks pretty cool though. I wonder if my Saturn GameShark allows me to play imports? I might have to check into that.

[3DOMan]

Almost there, I just need Zaxxon, T-Mek, and World Series Baseball.

If you want the foreign titles Darxide and Sangokushi IV, be prepared to drop a cool grand a piece for each of them. Definitely not worth it. FIFA Soccer is relatively common.

Spiderman I got loose on ebay for $67. It's not THAT rare, except for in boxed complete form.Don't let some kid on the internet soak you for $100+ for a loose cart...

[David J.]

Sangokushi IV is THAT rare? WOW.

[Guntz]

No way it's that rare. I've seen copies on eBay for a hundred or two months back, not a thousand.

[Xeniczone]

I agree, Seems a few of the 32X games could have been made for Genesis, but instead were forced onto the 32X. BlackThorne, Spiderman, Cosmic Carnage. Unlike Knuckles Chaotix or Kolibri which are also 2D, but the colors on them really look great. Definitely couldn't be done on genesis.

[NotoriousReignz]

I love Blackthorne, I bought it for the 32x at the time, but was looking for the SNES version and couldn't find it new lol.

[cvanderhoef]

Here is what I have:

Corpse Killer
Cosmic Carnage
Doom
Golf Magazine Presents: 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples

Night Trap
R.B.I. Baseball '95
Shadow Squadron
Star Wars Arcade
Supreme Warrior
Tempo

All are complete except I'm missing box and manual for RBI Baseball, box for World Series Baseball, & box and manual for Zaxxon. I also actaully have 2 copies of Night Trap, one is open and one is sealed.

You can turn off the chatter. You still have some auto pilot to sit through, but not nearly as much then.

[SpaceFlea]

I thought I'd chime in with my 32X collection:

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq284/SpaceFlea/001.jpg

I have a full US set, and the only game I'm missing for a world set is FIFA '96. The row in the center containing the duplicates of Blackthorne and Knuckles Chaotix are all sealed. Don't even ask what those two PAL games each cost. You will cry. And Sangokushi IV used to be worth about $300-400 (when I bought mine) but there was a guy a few months ago who had seven copies of the game that he posted one after the other and flooded the market which brought the value down to about $100-150 (for the moment).

[ooXxXoo]

↑ That's Marvelous :ok: .....Congrats!....

[Guntz]

Insane... Simply insane... That is probably the most complete 32X collection ever. I think all you're missing is PAL Primal Rage (if it even exists), FIFA '96 like you said and Virtua Fighter Training Pack, though that's a promotional item.

Seriously, you put the rest of us 32X collector's to shame! :D

[SpaceFlea]

The PAL Primal Rage is up on eBay right now being sold by the same guy from whom I bought DarXide and T-Mek. But he wants no less than $1700 for it which is more for it than it is really worth (closer to $1300 by its last sell price I saw). So I'll wait for the next one to pop up. I have passed up a few FIFA 96's in the past. I definitely plan to purchase the next one I see in good condition. And I don't care about that promo pack. It's on eBay all the time, but I collect games not random game related trinkets.

[molotovwars]

If anyone is interested I can get Japanese sealed copies of Knuckles Chaotix and Tempo. Just drop me a line if interested.

[Guntz]

So how many copies of PAL Primal Rage and T-Mek have you seen SpaceFlea?

[SpaceFlea]

The copy of T-Mek that I bought was actually the first one I had ever seen. But there was also another cart only one up at the same time I bought mine if I recall. According to some other forum rumblings the game had only been fabled to exist until it showed up on eBay a few years back. But who knows, you can't really gauge value on random jabber. I knew it was mighty rare and I snagged it - enough said. So to answer the question I have seen two copies of T-Mek. Primal Rage I have now seen twice. One sold on eBay 3/14/08 for $1319.11 (yes, I documented it) and the other one just sold for about $1457 (which is far less than the conversion to dollars told me it was prior to its sale - ie. I would have payed that - I thought it was at $1700). I'm hoping the guy who bought it doesn't pay so I'll end up getting it (so sayeth the seller). And even though I would have payed $1450, I still think he over paid for it. Kind of silly huh. Only time will tell for these things.

Most impressive and Darxide...Did you pick it up cheaper than most people or at the usual going rate? I think I'd be more likely to cry if it were the first one. ;)

[SpaceFlea]

I suppose if these would constitute the going price over the past five years (My obsessiveness burning bright!):

10/27/05 - $1225
06/20/07 - $732 (The seller seemed shady so I only bid $600 on this one, and I guess many others felt as I too)
07/19/07 - $1336 (The previous one resold by the buyer a month later for massive profit) :(
03/14/08 - $1420 (The last one on eBay until the one I purchased a month ago - I checked every day, though I could have missed one)

Then mine would be... for the going price. I paid less than the last one sold, but a bit more than the cheapest one :). I wish I had gotten that one at $732, that guy made bank. And some might find it silly that I keep track of the prices as I do, but it helps me legitimize my spending habits :).

It's a pretty scarce game, so I wouldn't expect for it to go cheaply...Nothing wrong with keeping track of prices. Somebody has to do it, and I'm interested in hearing what this stuff goes for on average.

I wonder how many copies of Darxide were made, especially compared to Web of Fire. Now that would be interesting.

[Guntz]

I think it's pretty obvious Darxide is more rare than Web of Fire. The logistics more than prove it alone. Web of Fire is based on Spider-Man, making it at least somewhat popular right from the start (I know, a bit of a stretch) and it was only released in North America which is a better exclusive region to be in than Europe. There are just simply more consumers in NA, plain and simple. I've barely ever seen Darxide, in any form, but I've seen more than a few collections with Web of Fire.

[SketchTurner94]

All I got are:

Doom
Virtua Racing
Mortal Kombat II
Virtua Fighter
Knuckles' Chaotix
Cosmic Carnage

And I might be getting Kolibri soon.

[Guntz]

I think it's time I update my list. I'm sure none of you care to see another picture of my 32X games.

After Burner Complete
Corpse Killer (CD)
Cosmic Carnage
Doom

NFL Quarterback Club
Shadow Squadron
Space Harrier
Star Wars Arcade

Virtua Fighter (w/Special Training Pack)
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game
Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000

All titles listed above have the box and manual.

EDIT: Forgot the 32X CD games.

[SpaceFlea]

You guys definitely need to get Kolibri. I feel so sad any time I see a collection without it. It is the best game for the console and is such a wonderful experience (at least it was 15 years ago when I last played it). If my 32X collection had to slim down to one game, I would pick Kolibri.

[Zebbe]

The copy of T-Mek that I bought was actually the first one I had ever seen. But there was also another cart only one up at the same time I bought mine if I recall.

And even though I would have payed $1450, I still think he over paid for it. Kind of silly huh. Only time will tell for these things.

It was I who bought the Primal Rage copy, but I haven't received it yet. I agree that I overpaid for it, but there was some reasoning behind it. I gave a best offer of £850 on T-Mek and waited for about 1½ day for the seller to either accept or decline it (the decision limit is two days). If he declined it, I planned to make another best offer of £925-950 or so. But instead, he took your offer of £900 immediately, without giving me a chance to "bid" over. For the Primal Rage copy, I wanted to be sure to get it, so my best offer was £950 the first time and he accepted it a few hours before the decision time was over.

I guess it's true what they say; rare =/= valuable. You'd think given how scarce PAL Primal Rage and T-Mek are, they'd be worth at least $10,000 complete. According to SpaceFlea he's only seen two copies of each. That's just insane.

[SpaceFlea]

That seller was a pretty immoral fellow in his selling technique. You should probably avoid him any further. He told me what your best offer was on T-Mek and Primal Rage so I could outbid you if I wanted. I actually didn't even know he had posted T-Mek until he emailed me with your offer on it. After I won DarXide it almost seemed like he wanted everything to go to the same person. And the only reason I didn't out bid you on Primal Rage was, as I said before, my currency conversion indicated it would be upwards of $1700 after shipping but it turns out it was only $1500. And I figured the person bidding on it was putting up some desperate win-at-any-cost price (because I had beaten them on the last one) that I didn't want to get involved. Anyhow, its better you won it. And I'm really glad it went to someone here rather than some stupid investor who has just been scanning all the recent yahoo articles on valuable games hoping to make a buck. I'm trying to buy a house and after spending $1350 on DarXide, $1450 on T-Mek, and $1100 on the sealed Daytona NetLink in a one month period I'm pretty set back in that quest. But I finally have some ultimate gems in my collection. I'll be on top of the next Primal Rage that shows up though. If you spot one, let me know.

[chrisbid]

i have a complete collection, though i am missing boxes and instructions for

blackthorne
pitfall: mayan adventure
spiderman: web of fire
world series baseball 95
star trek academy

i am not in a hurry to get these, if i find them great, but i wont be bidding 50 dollars+ on a spiderman box

[Guntz]

Star Trek Academy shouldn't be too hard, I see the box for sale often enough. It's definitely the cheapest out of the bunch. The rest of them are really expensive CIB.

[Da_Shocker]

I wish I could get my 32X collection back on deck.

[Guntz]

What do you mean "back on deck"? You sold all your 32X stuff at one point and now have to start over?

[Da_Shocker]

I would like to be able to buy them again. Due to my job situation I jsut cant spend money freely like I use to. I have to be very conservative these days.

[Guntz]

Thankfully most of the good games can be had fairly cheaply. Check my collection. So far the most I've spent is $20 for Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000. However, some stuff like After Burner I purchased in a big lot of stuff, so I didn't exactly pay market value for a few of my games.

[Da_Shocker]

The last games I purchased back in 2007 were Chaotix 14.99 and T-Mek 11.99 both were CIB from Great Escape. And they have been here since 1978 and they sale a decent amount of older games.

[Guntz]

Were Chaotix and T-Mek CIB, just out of curiosity? Cart only never does it for me, I need to have the box and manual (only for 32X mind you, most other systems I don't care).

[Da_Shocker]

Yeah I said they were both CIB.

[Guntz]

Very good prices I must say. :)

[Da_Shocker]

Yeah there were alot that one day all CIB but I didn;t have a ton of cash so I just grabbed what I knew were the rarest ones they had there. I think I went there next week and they had like 2 32X games left.

[3DOMan]

Definitely an impressive collection, I'd love to have Darxide and Romance IV sitting on my shelf.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a bunch of new 32X Virtua Training packs I'm selling off for cheap if anybody wants one.

Out of curiousity...why would you pay $1450 for a euro T-Mek when the US version is supposedly region-free? I'm assuming the purple box version is wicked rare or something...

[3DOMan]

Also, while Darxide is sketchy, I could justify paying $100-$150 for a Romance IV. Does that seller have any left?

[Yfrid]

ugh, i hate you all! :,(

i've just started, the best i can afford right now is 1 or 2 loose cartridges, your collections makes me sooooo jelous!

[Smii]

My somewhat less impressive collection, for anyone who's interested:

Euro PAL:
32x console (Complete, boxed)
After Burner (Complete)
Doom (Complete)
Fifa '96 (Complete)
36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples (Complete)
Knuckles Chaotix (Cart)
Kolibri (Cart)
Metal Head (Complete)
Mortal Kombat 2 (Complete)
Star Wars Arcade (Complete)
Virtua Fighter (Complete)

US:
32x console (Complete, boxed)
After Burner (Complete)
Shadow Squadron (Complete)
Space Harrier (Cart, box)
Star Trek Starfleet Academy (Cart)
Tempo (Complete)
Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 (Cart, Manual)

JPN:
Super 32x (system only - it originally had an AC adaptor but I muddered it with idiocy :/)
After Burner (Complete - don't ask me why I have all 3 versions of this, it just happened)
Cyber Brawl (Complete)
Parasquad (Complete)
Sangokushi IV (Complete, w. map)
Space Harrier (Complete)
Virtua Racing Deluxe (Complete)

I got my Sangokushi, plus all the above Jp 32x games (except Parasquad) and console, for £60ish inc. shipping from Japan. Probably one of my better evilbay auction wins :) My Fifa 32x only cost £1.50, too. I am still jealous of SpaceFlea. ;)

[SpaceFlea]

Out of curiousity...why would you pay $1450 for a euro T-Mek when the US version is supposedly region-free? I'm assuming the purple box version is wicked rare or something...

Well, honestly, why would anyone buy T-Mek to play period ;). Its only purpose really is as a collectors item. And you are correct, the PAL version of T-Mek is one of the rarest officially released games around. Definitely near the top for SEGA collecting.


Also, while Darxide is sketchy, I could justify paying $100-$150 for a Romance IV. Does that seller have any left?

What is sketchy about DarXide :? - it's quite a gem? Again, purchases such as these aren't for play. They are as collectors items. If I ever find the time, perhaps, but that is doubtful.

That seller sold every last one last I checked. When he got to selling about the 5th or 6th one - that when I asked him how he came upon so many copies of such a rare game. I can't remember how he said he acquired them, but he said that he only had one more copy left after that one. So he ended up selling either 6 or 7 of them. The first one he listed sold for around $250, but by the last one they were only selling for around $100-125. If he would have spaced them out over a decent amount of time he could have made so much more, but he listed them back to back each week.

Those are indeed both nice purchases :ok:. My best 32X purchase was Spider-Man for about $60 complete when it was already regularly selling for well over $100. Though that was back when I had no money and the patience to wait for deals.

[Guntz]

Euro 32X fans have it rough, so don't feel too bad. The 32X fared the best in the US, so that's the region with the most consumer friendly values. Maybe you could start importing? :confused:

[SpaceFlea]

And, you have all the best games for the system. The rest is just fluff really. And your collection is unique to you. People like me who have or want everything all have the exact same (impressive, but) non-unique collection. And in the end, it doesn't speak much about our style or taste.

[Brickadier General]

I have the following:
Cart only:
Virtua Fighter

Sealed:
Blackthorne

CIB:
36 Great Holes
Corpse Killer
Kolibri
Tempo
Doom
Motocross Championship
Space Harrier
Virtua Racing Deluxe

Box and Cart:
Star Wars Arcade
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

It's a decent start, I think. :)

[salsays]

I actually am only missing Spiderman for the 32x other than that I have the full US roster of games. I actually should have gotten Spiderman back in the day when it was discounted at about 10 bucks but right now I'm not going to sacrifice an arm and a leg for a complete copy unless its a good deal.

[NotoriousReignz]

What could be considered a good deal for Web of Fire? Isn't pretty bad anyway?

[Scooter]

Web of Fire isn't bad, it is about as good as any of the Spider-Man games gets. I'd say above average, but not great. Certainly not bad.

[DJSLOPE]

wow these collections are awsome the only game i have for my 32x is KNUCKLES CHAOTIX (pal) boxed with instructions

BTW (sorry if been asked a million times) whats the deal with these games that require both 32x and mega-cd i thought i was a big retro sega fan and yet i havnt ever heard of this? do you get both a cartridge AND CD's? in 1 package? :daze:

[NotoriousReignz]

No cartridge, CD only. Too bad more games couldn't have utilized this.

[DJSLOPE]

so what was the big difference with them compared to normall mega-cd games then? just better graphics?

[NotoriousReignz]

"Enhanced" graphics. Their were only 5 of these games made.

[Scooter]

so what was the big difference with them compared to normall mega-cd games then? just better graphics?


"Enhanced" graphics. Their were only 5 of these games made.

"Enhanced" was kind of a stretch. They have a larger color palette though. They are all FMV games so the video quality is still about the same as a Sega CD game. It would have been interesting to see what they could have accomplished had they made a fully developed but more conventional game (not FMV at least) on CD/32X.

[NotoriousReignz]

I wonder why Sega thought all those FMV games were a good idea...

[Scooter]

I wonder why Sega thought all those FMV games were a good idea...

With the introduction of the CD format FMV really took off mostly because the format provided the storage space. If you think about it, it was a pretty incredible innovation at the time. At that point in history, Sega was all about trying new things and charting new territory. Some of that was good and some not so good.

There actually are quite a few FMV games that are fun and entertaining and actually play pretty well as games in general. I've actually had a whole lot of fun with games like Sewer Shark, Ground Zero Texas and Corpse Killer. Greatest games ever made? Nope, but fun nonetheless. That Digital Pictures intro theme and logo are permanently burned into my brain!

[NotoriousReignz]

I did enjoy Supreme Warrior, Corpse Killer, and I think Wirehead was one? Wow it's been a long time since I've played them.

[Forgotten Worlds]

I'm currently collecting just the US Versions of 32x games. Wow some of those world versions are insanely pricey. Here's my collection...

NTSC CIB:

36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples
After Burner
B.C. Racers
Blackthorne
Cosmic Carnage
Doom
Fahrenheit
Knuckles Chaotix
Kolibri
Metal Head
Motocross Championship
Night Trap
Primal Rage
RBI Baseball '95
Shadow Squadron
Slam City with Scotty Pippen
Spiderman Web of Fire
Startrek Starfleet Academy
Star Wars Arcade
Supreme Warrior
T-Mek
Tempo
Toughman Contest
Virtua Racing Deluxe
World Series Baseball with Deion Sanders
Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000

All of these were purchased off eBay. Most expensive was Spiderman CIB which I got in 2007 for $117.50 USD.

[SpaceFlea]

Pitfall is the only tough one you have left. Everything else is cake. Good Job.

[Forgotten Worlds]

Yeah you have no idea how many times I've been outbidded on Pitfall, even when I thought I was overpaying on it lol. I just recently started looking for it again on eBay. Pretty scarce...

[Zebbe]

That seller was a pretty immoral fellow in his selling technique. You should probably avoid him any further. He told me what your best offer was on T-Mek and Primal Rage so I could outbid you if I wanted. I actually didn't even know he had posted T-Mek until he emailed me with your offer on it.

I got Primal Rage today, and I wanted to wait with my reply until then...

The seller was immoral yes, but being human I can see why he did so, although I'd never do so myself (no, really!).But I'm really glad I got the game anyway. I'll let you know if I see another copy, and I hope you do the same for me if you see Darxide or T-Mek again :).

[Guntz]

Can you post a picture Zebbe? Wouldn't be a bad idea to watermark the image if you're worried about posting it...

[Zebbe]

Like this? :P

[Guntz]

WOW! :o

Seriously, that HAS to be worth something some day. Exclusive boxart along with one of the only known boxes and manuals = $$$$$$$

That of course depends if the 32X collector's market will pick up eventually. For the rest of us who don't own even half the total regional sets, we hope not. :p

[SpaceFlea]

That is a thing of beauty! If only I didn't need a house :)... What could have been.

[Zebbe]

It played like crap though :D. And it seems like all voice samples only come from the right speaker ^^.

[Smii]

It played like crap though :D

Of course - it wouldn't truly be Primal Rage otherwise ;)
