Sega 32Xcitement

Virtua Racing DeluxeRetrogaming has compiled a list of the best games for the Sega 32X that... wait a minute.  Games?  Games?  Plural?  I find it hard to believe that there's enough decent 32X material out there to put together an article on a single stellar 32X game, let alone a whole bunch of 'em.  We all know the 32X was a stopgap project killed off by rapidly approaching superior hardware, expensive costs, and customer apathy.  Which games could possibly be on such a list of defining titles?

  • Virtua Racing Deluxe (Hmm, that was pretty good for it's time.  OK, I'll concede that one.)
  • Knuckles Chaotix (Not as good as the Sonic titles, but I have spent more time playing it than any other 32X game.  OK, it gets a pass.)
  • Star Wars Arcade (Well, it was pretty close to the arcade version as far as these things go.  Alright, it's in.)

So, how about that?  I guess there were some fairly good games for the 32X after all.  Check out the full list for a few additional titles I've never played and therefore cannot comment upon and some honorable mentions.  Meanwhile, over at Sega-16 there's an intriguing list of canceled 32X games that had some nifty potential.  I still have a soft spot for the idea behind Virtua Hamster.  It still surprises me that nobody else has picked up the idea of a video game featuring hamster Habitrail racing.  Another game concept lost to the ages, I suppose.
