    Was there ever plans for an RPG on the 32X, because I think it would be possible to port the likes of Chrono Trigger! Would you want an RPG on the 32X anyways?

    They were better meant for the Mega CD.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there were some plans. I think anytime a new system is released game publishers start planning what titles they're going to develop for it. Sega was still pretty much in the game when the 32 X came out and still had a decent lineup of third party publishers so I would imagine at least one of them had an idea for an RPG. But I think that the 32 X tanked so quickly that developers just gave up and started thinking about the PSX and Saturn.

    ...that or the fact that the 32X was a SoA creation making the RPG's of the time (aka JRPGs) an improbability for the 32X.

    That's a good point. Hadn't thought of that.

    Some people count Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an RPG, and a port of the fourth was released for 32x in Japan.

    Other than that, I really can't imagine an RPG being planned for 32x.

    IF that is true, can Melf or anyone else confirm this? It isn't on his master list. Should it be?

    Why bother?

    Not only was the 32X doomed from the start, but the system freezes easily. Knowing SoA they'd make a RPG without battery save, or a buggy password system, and here goes hours wasted because those damned white cords became loose.
    The smell of scorched oil hangs in the air as a premonition of danger, while the engine gloriously shouts its war cry...

    Throughout history, suspicion has always bred conflict. The real conflict, though, resides in people's hearts. This conflict has just begun.

    With all the wires, its alot to go wrong. Mine never freezes, but at times I've had Genesis games come in B&W when played through the 32X. It was just a bad connection.

    Idea.

    CD's are cheaper (and much easier) to produce than Carts. Homebrew games, with two discs, (like som eof the old 32x games) one for regular segacd and the other with the 32x enhanced version =)

    Now making a game, is the hard part.

    yeah well it would without a doubt would have been released in the US if it were not for bernie stolar saying "People in the US will not understand the full concept of RPG's" Thats why there were so many more RPG's in Japan =(
