A Sega 32X Top Ten ?!?

You're seeing that right. A freaking top 10 for the Sega 32X. Not possible you say? Actually, it is, and these are my picks for the better games on the system, as well as a few other surprises.

Episode Notes:

1. Since most people do not own a 32X and have no intentions of buying one, I decided to capture the entire episode using Kega Fusion to see if the emulation held up. It does, and there are even better emulators out there to play these with.

2. Chaotix was the final product of a game that started out as Sonic Crackers. It had Sonic and Tails held together by the rubberbanding mechanic in an isometric world.

3. It's interesting to play these games on real hardware and pull the Genesis RGB patch cable to see what the 32X is actually doing. In many games, it does mainly the sprites and foregrounds, as the 32X was terribly weak and 2D bitmap backgrounds. That's why many of its sidescrollers ran at such poor framerates.

4. I have always believed that the SVP would have been a better stand alone product. Sega could have sold the chip itself in a cartridge for $50, and then left it to 1st and 3rd parties to add enhancements that used it in their normal Genesis releases.

5. The 32X has no special graphics abilities beyond the sheer processing power of its main CPU's. It could not hardware accelerate polygons, nor could it hardware scale sprites or backgrounds. Everything you see the 32X do is in software.

6. The Brutal Unleashed section towards the end is me showing you just how bad the hit detection is in the game. You can be right on top of an enemy and only register a hit 1 out of 3 tries. It's infuriating, and one of the worst fighting games I've ever played.
