As it turns out that happens to be a common enough problem that there are people that sell replacement cables. Larger issue really is that I don't think that many casual collectors would know much about the 32X in general or care very much.

Like said before, 32X is one case of third party cables definitively superior.

I think TA mentioned a while back that they simply published Hexen on the Saturn, a European team actually developed it. Probe developed the PS1 port, which could explain why the PS1 port is so bad.

The Saturn port of MK2 I think is by far the biggest slap in the face they produced.

No Probe were pretty good on the Saturn . They did program Hexxen for the Saturn and did a great job with porting Fifa 96 and Alien Trilogy to the Saturn

Alien Triliogy lacked the lightning that was in the PSx version. It wasn't that bad of a port but there is no doubt in my mind that it shouldn't have been better.

Its not has if the Saturn was that good at lighting and you could counter than with Prope better job of porting Hexxen to the Saturn . Sadly Saturn's poor marketshare meant that many 3rd Parties wouldn't put big resources to Saturn ports

I'm not sure there's much of a difference between the PS1 and Saturn versions of Alien Trilogy.



Also, here is videos 2, 3, and 4.

Sorry it wasn't you who mentioned this it was Agostinhobaroners. Here are the credits for the Saturn port of Hexen:

As you can see Probe didn't do any programming for the game, it was done by ATOD.

[Barone]

^Yeah, and those are the credits that appear when you finish the game.

In the Saturn Pal Manual it lists Probe has the developer and at the start of the game




.Hence why I always thought they developed it

[TrekkiesUnite118]

Well they did do some developmental tasks for it, just not the hard important stuff like programming.

Maybe one of those development tasks was outscoring work to a decent developer

[Barone]

^ahahah. I wish they could have done the same for the MK ports.
At least they were competent enough to find a good company to do the job, unlike EA.

I've been doing a little bit of research on Mortal Kombat II since it came up. I always only played as Liu Kang or Scorpion, and didn't notice significant gameplay differences between the 16-bit and 32X versions of Mortal Kombat II. Since Jax's combos were brought up as a flaw in the Genesis and 32X versions I decided to take a look while I relearned how to play the game. In the process I found this video full of interesting flaws in the "original".

See 5:30 especially

[goldenband]

Haha, 5:30 is a trip! It's like some sort of homoerotic tango or something. Does that trick work on the real machine?

BTW, 1:41 is exactly the combo I'm talking about -- I was never able to get it to work on MKII 32X, because it seems like the Back Breaker will only work in that version if both fighters are near the apex of a jump.

Over the last couple of days I've tried to learn some of Jax' combos. On the Genesis version I can do the deep kick and gotcha grab combo, on the SNES I cannot. On the SNES I can do the high mid jump kick back breaker combo, on the Genesis I cannot. It's a crapshoot there, but I don't find any of the normal moves difficult to perform in either version. I did have a harder time getting Jax' arm rip fatality to work on the SNES version today, but I'm guessing that is because the block button is on one of those stinking triggers. Even with the Ascii pad, those triggers are not ideal for me.

I am aiming to make a Genesis, SNES, 32X comparison video in the next week that at least shows two combos from Liu Kang, Scorpion and Jax on each platform, plus the AI beating up on me. If I play it enough I might even show the Shao Kahn fight in each version.
