Is it worth getting a 32x?
>>
not really no. all the interesting games are expensive as fuck
>>
>>3276252
I can't think of any exclusives, pretty much the entire library has superior versions for cheaper consoles. If you can get it for cheap maybe, the genesis Flashcarts are compatible with it. Mortal Kombat 3 is good on it, if you don't have a 360 or even the most rudimentary pc it is an option.
>>
>>3276262
Luckily a Genesis flashcart works with 32x games.
>>
>>3276252
In 1996 when everyone was giving the fuckers away for 20 bucks and games were like 5-10? Sure. Now? Hell no. Emulate the ~3 good games and move on.

Seriously though, Shadow Squadron is pretty fucking mind blowing for what it is and what it released on.
>>
Hell yeah, its an av amp and it has the best version of virtua racing. Grab one and a chinese flashcart for the price of a few games. Let the nintedorts hate.
>>
Yeah, Space harrier, Afterburner, Virtua racing/fighting are good games worth owning
>>
>>3276271
Really?
>>
>>3276271
>>3276542
yes, but you obviously need the 32x.

you cannot play 32x games on your genesis flashcart without the actual 32x
>>
If you have a flashcart, yes. It's a decently fun library to skim through and it's tricky to find anything that will emulate it outside of the PC. If you actually want to buy 32x games, hell no. You'll only end up paying an arm and a leg for the few great games out there.
>>
>>3276591
I got Star Wars, Shadow Squadron, and Virtua Racing CIB for <$10 a piece

Most games are not expensive at all
>>
>>3276252
If youre any kinda collector hell yeah
>>
>>3276610
/vr/ tends to overhype how much the prices are for retro games. Obviously boxed games will be the pricy ones, but you can find cartridges in nice shape for good prices.
>>
>>3276662
Go on the Australian ebay and look at the 32x games.
>>
>>3276668
>implying Australian eBay even matters
>>
>>3276674
I assume it would to Australians.
>>
>>3276252
Well not really, but it's not like you would run out of games to play. It just lacks strong exclusives, there's not a single game worth buying the system for.
>>
>>3276678
>implying Australians matter
>>
>>3276693
Nice meme.
>>
>>3276306
>Let the nintedorts hate.

Who?
>>
I have one and used to use it all the time, but since I got my Saturn I've since relegated it to storage. Mostly because I only ever played After Burner and Space Harrier on mine.

It's a fine working 'system' but unless you're not planning on getting a Saturn then it's not really worth bothering with.

Virtua Racing on it is pretty great though, so is Virtua Fighter I will give it that.
>>
Yes
They're great for archery practice

Add DOOM and Cosmic Carnage and congratulations, you picked up all the cheap 32x games. You'll find a few CIB games for $25 but after that, enjoy paying $40+ for average titles. 32x tricks you into thinking it's cheap to collect for but after 5 or so games, you'll find it's pretty expensive.
>>
>>3276668
>>3276678

>>3276262
Yeah this was me an Australian, everything is more expensive here except maybe master system games because there are less of everything floating around
>>

The Australians of this board have horrible opinions, honestly.

Get a dog up ya

whenever I play a Genesis game with my 32X attached, the colors get oversaturated.

Why is that?
>>
>>3277323

Different video encoder
>>
Can you emulate these games? I know quite a few Sega CD games work fine with emulation.
>>
I checked my current collection

Knuckles Chaotix
Shadow Squadron
After Burner Complete
Space Harrier
Virtua Racing
Mortal Kombat II
Virtua Fighter

How'd I do?
>>
YO HOMIE
>>
>>3277331
Besides Knuckles, those are all great games. Star Wars Arcade was good too.
>>
>>3277331
C+, get rid of Mortal Kombat 2.
>>
>>3277372
Not him, but what's wrong with Chaotix? It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I like it more than Sonic CD.
>>
>>3276252

No, unless you can get it cheap. And I say that as a GIGANTIC Sega cunt
>>
>>3277610
Because it's overly common. It's often the only reason people get a 32X.
>>
>>3277714
What's the point of a collection if you're not aiming for, you know, a complete collection? You can't just grab all the rare ones and skip over a common one just because it's common.
>>
Isn't a 32x the most convenient way to play Japanese Mega Drive imports?

This, you wouldn't even know most posters are Australian unless they're contextualizing their decisions about certain purchases or hardware.

Australia-kun can fuck right off, he's a moron.
>>
>>3277714

Really? The reason I got mine was for the arcade ports of Space Harrier, Afterburner and Virtua Racing.

The NA master system collection sucks cock.

>hurr master system doesn't matter

Neither does 32x, even less so.

Nah senpai, Chaotix is a good game, just kind of a weird Sonic game. The art direction, music and cool level gimmicks keep it worth coming back to.
>>
>cousin gives me his mint genesis/cd/32x he bought in the 90s

thanks for nothing

Watch AVGN's 32X video and you'll see how shitty it is.
>>
>>3279814

>>3277742
So the cartridges fit? Always? For reals? Like I don't want to find out this doesn't work after I buy the cart, don't troll me bad.

>>3277091
I'm not seeing much worth buying that costs a lot, not that there's much worth buying in the first place.

A Game Genie's a lot cheaper and doesn't require another AC adapter.
>>
>>3280041
Does the Game Genie work with everything or only specific games?
I've never actually used one.
>>
>>3277310
That poster is 32x amazing.
>>
>>3280057
Physically, yes it fits with everything.

You can use it to play Mega Drive games on a Sega Genesis as long as the Mega Drive cart doesn't have region locking, and only a small percentage of Mega Drive games do.

getting a genesis then skipping the cd and 32x is dumb. flash cart burned cd's and more games for next to nothing. for the price of chrono trigger you can have everything.

its true a clean loose ct is what $150
you can find a 32x for next to nothing, $40 on the bay if you look around. cd can go for around $60 and a chinese flashcart.

Blackthorne is a good game for 32x:
