sega cd or 32x?

Post by xdanxx »

Hey guys im looking to expand my sega collection,I have a genesis, and a dreamcast, and wondering if sega cd or 32x were worth getting, and if so which one? It seems they are pretty reasonable, but are they really worth it or should I just skip to the saturn? thanks guys.

I'm of the mind that the Sega CD is totally worth it, but it's really up to you. Research what games are available, and if they appeal, go for it. Heck, they're both easily emulatable too, so worth checking out.

i'd say if you can get one in good condition for cheap, go for a sega cd. if nothing else, it has sonic cd which many consider the best sonic game of all time. in my opinion, the 32x was the worst idea of all time. sega cd was at least pretty innovative for its time and had a few solid titles. really all 32x had was a stripped down version of doom and knuckles chaotix which ive never played but i've heard its not that great.

Sega CD is more expensive...especially if you want Lunar....but tis better then the 32x.
Somebody sell me a model 1 modchip for Saturn. Please.

Sega CD provides a lot more options and opens you up for some really great Sega CD exclusives like Sonic CD, Heart of the Alien, Lunar I & II, Snatcher, etc., etc. Even some of the FMV games aren't too bad and always good for a peek into what was hot at the time (or what Sega tried to make hot at the time). Everyone should own at least ONE Digital Pictures game!

I'll be the sleazy guy here- ISO rips of Sega CD games are easy to come by on the internet, where as 32x games are limited in titles, and require to be purchased, but that's just how I see it.

get the sega cd first, there are much much more games for it, and then you can add a 32x anyways,

if you buy a Sega CDX system, you can add the 32x to that as well, i never had a problem with it and the lid open fine with the 32x on it.

I think Sega CD as well. There seem to be more unique quality titles for it.

As said above, you can even burn stuff to play on the real hardware, whereas 32x requires you to go to the 2nd hand market.

you dont need a modchip to play the burned games, they are completely selfbootable on there own? If so that sounds great. thanks for the tips guys.
