Questions about Sega 32x

[psycoone007]

So I know Sega produced 32x games on both CDs and carts, correct? 39 games in total. Did they release each game on CD and cart? So for a complete set, youd have 2 versions of each of the 39 titles?

They didn't release every 32X game on CD. 32X only games are all cartridges.

What's confusing you is there are a small handful of 32X enhanced Sega CD games that require the 32X to play.

These games are:

Corpse Killer
Night Trap
Slam City with Scottie Pippen
Supreme Warrior
Surgical Strike (Brazil Only)

Fahrenheit also had both version in one package as well right?

I never saw much point to these 32X/CD games. I own and like both system add-ons, but there's nothing original that warrants a 3rd power adapter (even if you do get cleaner, enhanced graphics, they seem like very sub-par games).

Wonders whether Genesis Xbox emulator can play them (so I can judge for myself)? The 32x cart emulation was very hit and miss for me.

You forgot Fahrenheit.

Edit: Also not quite sure where OP got 39 from. 40 total-total, but 2 PAL exclusive, 1 JP exclusive, and 1 BR exclusive. Leaving total 32x-only games as 34 (31 US, 32 PAL - no NBA Jam TE there, 32 JP) and total 32x-CD games as 6 (1 of which was only released in BR)

Woops, yes I did. Thanks for the correction both of you.

Thanks for the great info guys. I just got into game collecting, so Im still getting my feet wet!

Essentially with the enhanced color pallette & horsepower of the 32x, these titles video (notice they're all FMV games) is crisper. Old school version of 720 vs 1080

I've been less about graphics and more about play control. If the gameplay itself is just as good, I still don't see the point.
Case in Point: I still prefer Street Fighter II on Genesis to SNES (maybe even than the arcade versions, Super/Turbo and Anniversary excluded).

But I have always wondered what a good shmup for 32XCD would be like. CD sound with enhanced color and scaling on a system already known for its exceptional selection of shooters?, now that would make me plug in an extra power cord.
