To be honest I didn't play much on it, I only had 3 games for it Virtua Racing, Cosmic Carnage, and Knuckles' Chaotix.I think it was just an ill conceived add-on, but it did have potential.I recenlty saw a demo video that Zyrinx put together to showcase the graphics of the 32X, and I was blown away.You should be able find it on youtube.

It sucked. The Saturn sucked too. The Dreamcast was okay, but it didn't have as many great games as people say. Same with the Saturn. Sega CD only had a few good games and they could have been done on cartridge. Those were lousy times. Sony didn't have to try very hard to take the lead. Of course hindsight is 20/20, so it's a bit arrogant to say all that. But I just wish that after the Genesis they had followed up with a powerful 32-bit cart or CD system, something stand-alone, easy to program and not that expensive ($200), but instead they were disorganized. Oh well... the Playstation was cool, so it worked out. What's in a brand anyway ?

I read about it in issues of Gamefan right around Late 1994/Early 1995. My ruling: It had promise, but the fact the Saturn was right on its heels killed any momentum the thing could have got. Most people simply waited for the Saturn, having seen the vast improvement it would be, and of course, its fight against the Playstation for CD-based supremacy. We all know who won that war. For a good example of what "could have been", take a look at this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F96yVYxNWPI
Still, it did have some nice games for it, and there's definitely a few worth playing.

An analogy to sum up the 32x: the giant spider of level 36 of a certain game is the boss; when you defeat him he spews out a few smaller spiders from his already departed soul in a feeble attempt to stop you even though he is defeated...
Sadly the sega megadrive was the giant spider... the 32x could not halt its slide... however the megadrive's departed soul is still with all it's fans.
What is the game?
-No, I am not high on drugs lol err...
