Looking at getting a 32x, what should I know?

I'd go for the Neptune - god damn this thing looks sleak.

Uh yeah...we all would

I have a complete US set and as stated there are some good games and some bad ones.

Thanks for all the info. I think I know what the wife's family is getting me for XMAS

EDIT: Also, Victoria BC ain't particularly video game heaven (though between my place and my local best friend's place it's pretty sweet...), but Seattle is just a boat ride away and they have a bunch of gaming stores there! I can't go to Seattle without putting down ~150 bucks on retro games.

pursuit of the 32x is a road to pain upon which only the strong survive. gird up your loins, young sir.

Just FYI:

If you plan on getting Knuckles Chaotix,
Know that it's finicky about what Genesis system is being used. I have a "Genesis 2" unit that refuses to play just that game (it's not the 32x and it's a clean unit).
My other 2 "Genesis 2" units play the game fine.

I've just heard a lot of people having issues with the game over the years and most deny the possibility that it's the Genesis that the game and/or 32x doesn't like (for reasons beyond my comprehension).

Metal Head was fun but I did not like the radar that seemed to have a dead battery halfway through the stage....!!!

Need to check out "VIRT-YA RACING" (deluxe) too -- very good port.

Actually I'm a huge NOT a Sonic fan, for some reason the series never ever clicked with me. Also I'm pretty sure Knuckles for the 32x isn't super cheap to find, so it will be pretty random if I wind up getting it.

Pass on the 32x and just add to your Genesis collection would be my advise.

I've got almost all of my favourite Genesis games...

I'm right there with you! However, I have the cheap 32X games, now it's a hunt to find the remaining pricier ones ($10 and up) on the cheap side. I hope I don't end up regretting this, but I gotta have it to play Night Trap for the 32XCD.

Anyone here old enough to remember EGM's april fools prank around 2001? They printed an article about how there was a warehouse full of these things, and they were available online.
