January 2017 PickUps - Fill in the new year!
palmer6strings:
I got my 32X for like $7. I'm glad I have one, but at the same time I don't like it because there is nothing I want to play on it.
Too Beaucoup:
I got my 32X for like, $5 in like 1999. I've been tempted to sell it off cause there really isn't much that's worth a damn playing and I basically own it just for the sake of owning it. Does it deserve the hate now, probably not. But, at launch and the year or two following, absolutely. LOL!
TDIRunner:
I have 3 of them for whatever reason. It's worth having if you can get one cheap. As far as the games go, I'm a big believer in Everdrives, and the ED works for 32x games as long as the 32x is installed. So I would say go that route, especially for the expensive games.
Blackthorne has a level that wasn't in the SNES version. MKII is a great port. Kolibri is a lot fun, and about as unique a game as you will find on any platform. There are some other good games, but they've been mentioned here already.
amace04:
I like my 32x. As mentioned above, the better video encoder is a plus, especially with a Gen2 system, which aren't known for having the best video encoders. I'd never pay market value for one, but I got mine untested on ebay for $10, that's a steal for me. I dont' have a ton of games, I don't have Chaotix, but a few that I've got are still fun. Star Wars, NBA Jam TE, even Doom. I picked up a lot of about 5 games on ebay for under $10. Unfortunately, where I live, I've NEVER seen a 32x game or 32x out in the wild, so online is the only way to go.
If you sell yours now, you might find yourself wishing you had it, and unwilling to pay what they cost.

Many model 2 Genesis systems used poor quality video chips, but with a 32X attached it will output the best possible picture for both 32X and Genesis games. It won't enhance the games in any way, but the colors will be brighter and there will be no rainbow banding that is common on some systems.

I love this fact in particular. I have a PVM and my Genesis is hooked up through RGB so the 32X's video encoder is a huge bonus! The only real downside is that Master System games don't work through the 32X.
