What is your favorite 32x game? Mine is Knuckles Chaotix, with Star Wars Arcade at a close second. I know people love to hate on Knuckles Chaotix, but I really liked it. The graphics, the music, the gameplay were all really good. I only wish it had more enemies and a lives system.

I'm not one to pick favorites in video games, so I'll post the list of all the 32X games I like based on ones I've actually played:

After Burner
Doom
Metal Head
Mortal Kombat II
Shadow Squadron
Star Wars Arcade
Tempo (it's a more love/hate though)
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing Deluxe

No, I haven't played Knuckles' Chaotix or Kolibri yet... And the 32X is one of my favorite Sega systems. :D

In no particular order...

Motocross Championship
Knuckles Chaotix
Virtua Racing Deluxe
Zaxxon’s Motherbase 2000

Despite most people not liking Motherbase 2000 and Motocross Championship, I love them both. Once you figure out the leaning back/forward mechanics in Motocross Championship, you can maintain speed and stop crashing (which is what everyone bitches about). The hacking in Motherbase 2000 is awesome, I like playing through this just to hijack new ships and see what they do. Lots of replay value. Knuckles Chaotix and Virtua Racing Deluxe need no explanation.

Yeah, that might be my 2nd favorite, and one of the only 2 32x cartd I currently own too. (no 32x as of yet, I'm almost positive my uncle has a loose one packed away with his SMSII, so I'm kind of waiting on that -he said I can have both)

The Genesis version of VR was the first game I bought after getting a Genesis last spring. ;) It's no VR Deluxe, but still pretty good. (would have been interesting to se how it might have looked using dynamic palette changing and variable dithering -as Star Fox does on SNES, using 16 color palettes as well -albeit from 15-bit RGB)

The 32x version looks and sounds a good bit better though (except some PWM atrifacts -judging by Fusion), the bonus features are certainly nice as well.

Kind of want to voice my own opinion on Tempo...

I find it too stiff, almost a chore to play. I also don't understand the "Tempo" system that's vaguely mentioned in the manual. So what do you find fun about it? :confused:

Well. Because I lost the patch cable for the 32x 4 years ago and FINALLY getting a new one tomorrow from ebay WITH Knuckles chaotix i had since Christmas 05 NOT being played, I don't have a favourite. But i have strong feelings Knuckles Chaotix will become a personal favourite. I only have a handful of 32x titles.


Did that sentence make sence above? :?

Pardon me if I'm stepping on anyones toes, but I don't understand how anyone could enjoy playing Doom on a Genesis when it's no where near the same experience as on the PC.

Especially considering the Mods that can be had on the PC version, what reason would anyone have for playing a version with less content and lower quality graphics, as well as having to play a FPS with a Gamepad???

I'm looking forward to getting a hold of Doom 64 for the N64, but 'only' because it's a system exclusive title... I wouldn't be surprised if someone ported it to PC, but that doesn't interest me.


It's the same as playing Morrowind on the Xbox with the retarded Fog when compared to playing it on PC with the MGE mod (along with God knows how many other mods)... there's simply no reason to play it on the Console.

You're thinking about NOW when everyone and their dog has a PC powerful enough to play Doom in real 3D for less than the cost of the original game. You aren't considering when this was released - 1995 - when PCs powerful enough to Doom were still expensive and consoles were much more prevalent. Yes, it wasn't as good as a PC, but it was considerably less expensive, even counting the 32X, and nearly as good. People play it now more for the nostalgia.

Doom64 is definitely a "must have" title for the N64. You can find ports of it for the PC, and there's also N64 emulators that can play it, but playing it on an actual N64 is still a great experience for Doom fans. However, this answers the question above - you play Doom64 on a real N64 for the same reason people play Doom 32X on a 32X - for the experience, not because it's "better". With hires paks and better graphics and music, Doom64 is arguably better played on a PC. No gamepad either.

Fair enough... but I was referring to the present. I understand why people played it on a console back in the day, but what's the reason for it now, consideirng how much better the experience is on the PC... 'nostalgia'... true enough and I'll agree.

I'll be playing N64 on it's original system simply because I will have an N64 and the title was an exclusive one.


Hell, I could have simply gone the emulator route for 'everything' oldschool Console based, but I'm not: I'm feeding my OCD and the wallets of oldschool Resellers because I want the original feel/sound/and look of those games.

So in essence, guys who played Doom for the first time on the Genny, I guess I can see why they'd want it in their collection even now... fair enough.

Pardon me if I'm stepping on anyones toes, but I don't understand how anyone could enjoy playing Doom on a Genesis when it's no where near the same experience as on the PC.

Doom on my 32x in my lazy boy with a Genesis controller is a completely different experience than playing on the PC. It's flawed, limited, and quirky, and that's what gives it it's charm. I grew up playing games on a couch in front of an undersized TV.

Playing doom on the PC is just that, playing Doom on a PC. There is nothing special about it. Tracking down all the hardware to play Doom on the 32x isn't easy, that's what makes it special.

Why play any retro games on original hardware when emulation offers pixel perfect game play, enhanced sound, and excellent upscaling?

The Jaguar port actually has graphical enhancement over the PC version (the PSX one does to some extent as well, not as extreme though), very nice smoothe lighting gradient (PSX is somewhat better than PC as well and runs in full 320 width while Jag and other console ports use low detail 1/2 horizontal res -except saturn I think, which is a port from the PSX and rather poorly optimized).
There are modern polygon bases sourse ports for PC of course, which exceed any of this. (but the Jag has the best lighting of any of the classic ports -and 2 completely new/unique levels and some other changes with soem maps and textures which carried over to most other console ports except SNES which is unique)

32x is the worst of both worlds in terms of lighting, no shading gradient at all from what I can see.

Both 32x and Jaguar Doom work well in emulators (Fusion coming pretty close to the real framerate as well, Project Tempest goes to full 60fps on the Jag version if your PC is powerful enough)

Grab DOSBox, install Doom, and play it like people used to back in the day (320x200 reso, SB or GUS sound... it's fun). It feels quite different than ports such as ZDoom and the like.

That's the only way I've ever played PC doom. ;) (make sure to set aspect correct or you may get the wrong aspect ratio -depending on video card/monitor -with a CRT and my old Radeon 9600 machine it displayed correctly -not with an LCD though)

There was also the simple windows 95 port (though the DOS executable should work fien alone in win9x).

The original PC Doom had inferior lighting/shading to PSX and (especially) Jaguar though, but that's part of 256 color rendering. ;) (the poserization i skind of intersting actually)

But most importantly, you get that soundblaster music (unfortunately they stuck with Adlib standards, no Pro stereo effects let alone OPL3 specific 4-op FM), the Roland Soundcanvas general midi sounds pretty good too (standard software GM in windows), I kind of hate the Ultrasound music for Doom personally.

Everything above... fair enough.

Silly statement - there's a lifetime worth of Mods and Levels to enjoy compared to the 'same' experience over and over on your 32X version.

For Nostalgiac purposes, I understand, but to say 'meh' when talking about playing something on the PC is just silly. :o


Why - for the originality of it... and I disagree about the sound being "enhanced" or better in any way. The sound is not going to be the same... EVER.. bit for bit unless it's the original Sound Hardware producing said sound. That's like saying a Moog VSTi is going to sound like an enhanced version of that particular Moog Keyboard. You're simply not going to get there from here... it might sound pleasing to the ear, but it will not be the same.

As for upscaling the graphics and fixing slowdown/etc... yeah, that'd be nice to have, but I'd rather have the original.


Everything else you're saying though: I can understand completely.

Because you couldn't do that in the original. Kind of ruins the whole oldschool thing when you start adding traits that weren't there to begin with... especially traits that alter the gameplay, graphics and sound. Some of us just prefer to play it as it was, not as someone else decided to make it later on.

Your argument is sound and your point well understood :) 'but'... FPSs are meant for the Protagonist to be able to look around.

There's no reason imo to not give the player the ability to look around and make the player actually have to aim properly in order to shoot enemies above and below him.

NOW... if there was an option to Jump added, I would definitely agree with your argument because then a multitude of areas in the original Levels of Es #1-4 and part 2 would be screwed up because the player could bypass areas that weren't meant to be defeated with a simple jump.


Hell... to further along my reasoning for playing an oldie with new functionality and why it's a good thing... take a look at Morrowind with the 'MGE' Mod. That game is a million times better without the Fog and I seriously doubt you'll find more than a handful of die hard gamers that wouldn't rather play with the view distance extended like it is in Oblivion.

Emulations of Console Exclusives do not count.

I think we play Doom for different reasons. You play Doom for the love of Doom and everything it has to offer. I enjoy Doom because of how it took advantage of the 32x hardware. It's neat to see what the hardware could do in the hands of competent programmers. The game is fun to boot. Beyond that, I have little interest.

Well, I just saw that there is a collection of 'Sega Arcade Games' that includes an exact 100% port of the arcade original 'plus' extra tracks and cars... I'm now going to be getting that for PS2... screw all the Genesis versions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtua_Racing

"An improved remake was released for the Sony Playstation 2 under the Sega Ages 2500 label known as Virtua Racing: Flatout. It was released in Japan in 2004 and it was released in North America and Europe in 2005 as part of the Sega Classics Collection. It's an arcade-perfect conversion including new content such as three new courses and four new cars."

My favorites would have to be (in no particular order):

After Burner Complete
Doom (to a certain extent)
Knuckles Chaotix
NBA Jam TE
RBI Baseball '95 (well I did the last time I played it for an odd reason)
Space Harrier
Tempo
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing Deluxe

I would also say WWF Raw but I haven't played it for the 32X yet but I have for the Genesis. I imagine it's one of those similar ports with a few enhancements here and there but more of the same.

Thanks. My 32x genesis console doesn't work anymore. I have the catridges of many old games though. I was running Fusion emulator with hq3x render plugin.

Space Harrier is also one of my favorite games. Forgot to mention that.

Oh and how can I miss Doom 32x. When I was little, I used to force my brother to play that game cause I used to get scared. lol

In that case, I better check out that plugin. It looks pretty good.

Shadow Squadron, Virtua Racing, Metal Head, Zaxxon Motherbase 2000. Mortal Kombat II was good, but not as good as I was hoping back in the day.

Also, I would cast my vote that I too prefer the 32X to the SegaCD. I had a CDX that I bought new back in the day, and I loved it, but the Sega CD games were never what I'd hoped they would be. I wasn't and still am not an RPG guy, more of an arcade game fan, and I think that's where the divide is.

Back when the system was new my killer app was definately Doom, my bud and I played it for months. These days it's barely playable to me, I'll stick with the XBLA port.

These days my favorite is by far Virtua Racing, it is still one of my favorite racers ever. I also love Space Harrier, Afterburner and NBA Jam.

I've recently begun to notice how small my 32x collection is, especially since I've owned the system since it was new. I'm taking steps to correct that now, snapping up almost anything I can find cheap on ebay. I got Primal Rage, Farenheit, and Kolibri. Missed out on Blackthorne :(

I like Star Wars Arcade - but there isn't a STANDOUT game that I really can point to and say "I love this!".

I remember the days where I wanted a 32x with twitterpating anticipation, those were the days.

WTF... Doom has been ported to the 360?????????? Why does Sony not have it?

Yeah, Doom was one of the first popular XBLA games. It's not on the marketplace now, but it has been replaced by Doom 2. If you look in the right place you can still buy Doom 1 prepaid cards that will work when activated.

The game doesn't have any enhancements other than online play so many people prefer to play it on PC, but I'll take my TV screen and 360 controller over my PC any day.
