Games I Bought Recently (Episode 31, Part 1)

In Part 1 of this all retro edition of GIBR, I talk about 32X, Atari Jaguar, and SNES Games.

Interested in starting a 32X Collection?

Sega brought us the 32X, a gaming system billed as a 32-bit add-on for the Sega Genesis. In order to play the 32X's library of games it required that you already owned a Genesis as the 32X went into the cartridge slot and from there Genesis and 32X games would be inserted into the 32X itself. The sysetem is a mixed bag, including enhanced 16-bit titles that questioned the legitimacy of calling the 32X a true 32-bit system. Fortunately there were a few games that pushed the usage of polygons to try and show off the systems power.

In terms of collectability for the system, it is truly a niche system. It was not even out in the US for a full year before it was discontinued and as a result only 36 titles were ever released in the us, as well as 3 import exclusives from the UK and Japan. This makes collecting for the system pretty easy, as only a handful of titles should give you any trouble to track down.
