Nice post, but, as a die-hard Sonic fan and a recent buyer of a 32X, I’m surprised that you didn’t mention Knuckles’ Chaotix special stages. They really manage to strike the balance between fun and challenging (but not quite hard enough to make you pull your hair out, although they get close). I love that game, but the final boss is pathetically easy.

Tempo deserves more credit than it got, in my opinion. It’s an appealing game that had unique levels, spiffy graphics, and better-than-average gameplay (and a cheesy intro song)…but maybe I’m just saying that because it is essentially the only other platformer for the 32X, right under KC’s shadow. Oddly enough, I wondered if it could’ve been a Genesis game.

Oh, and Shadow Squadron kicks serious ass.

[...] Much like the 32X, the Sega CD actually had quite a bit of potential (especially if you combined the two). The platform was proven to thrive for both RPGs and Shooters and could have been stretched out if Sega wasn’t feeling the pressure to release the Saturn before the Playstation. [...]

The bit about Virtua Fighter makes it sound like the 32X version came out before the Saturn version, but it didn’t. The ads for the 32X version reminded us all that “patience is a virtua.”

Never actually knew the 32x had something worth its price released. Mind you, I only played Kolibri once and wasn’t impressed.

Another fine post!

Ooh, that Chaotix review you linked to was rather harsh. It’s not fantastic, but it’s not terrible either.

Oh, and your links on the Virtua Fighter bit don’t work. You may wanna look into those.
