The 32X in general was a bad idea. At the time there was a widespread 
belief around the industry as a whole that the 3DO (and to a much lesser 
degree the Atari Jaguar which in late 1994 was recieving widespread 
distribution at places like Venture, Wal-mart and other non specialty 
retailers) would develop a large enough user bsae to be a factor when 
the Saturn came out. In 1994 when the 32X was released in the US Sega 
had already launched the incompatable Saturn system in Japan. Sega just 
released the 32X as a distraction to consumers leaning towards investing 
500.00 on the 3DO.

Within 9 months of the 32X's introduction in the US Sega had released 
the domestic version of the Saturn effectively killing the Genesis add 
on. Sega launched the Saturn earlier then their previously announced 
launch day to get a bigger jump on the Playstation and to hold off 3DO 
and Jaguar sales.

With regards to the 32X version of Doom, it was decent, but the Atari 
Jaguar and PC versions of the title were much better. Much of this was 
based on the limitations of the 32X, another part of it was due to the 
general rushed nature of the 32X (and it's software) to the market.

Actually, the 32X has some added sound channels, and it sounds quite 
good in games where they take advantage of it like Knuckles Chaotix. 
You can really see the new sound capabilities in action on the sound 
test for this game. Most people tend to disagree, but my brothers and I 
really thought it had  an awesome soundtrack.

Hello again, all.

Thought the best way to get a roll call (since I'm very curious who's still
aboard here) would be to have everyone reply to the list with their favorite
HuCard - PC Engine or TG-16.

I'll begin!

My favorite HuCard-based game by far is Blazing Lazers/Gunhed. I can never
get enough.

Next please!

OK, this thread has gone on long enough.

Please stick to Turbo-related stuff...

ObTurbo:  Gads, that last Johnny Turbo analysis on that website is truly
evil.  What sort of sick, twisted perverts ran TTi's marketing department?

For me, it's a tie between Bomberman '93 and Magical Chase.

Galaga '88, R-Type, and the Soldier series of shooters were next in line...

I also really enjoyed a few that probably weren't so popular, like:
BeBall (Chew Man Fu), and
the first Doraemon (Cratermaze)

And just for completeness, here are a few games that I wish had been 
translated because I heard good things about them.  I might have really 
enjoyed them, but I don't understand enough Japanese to play them in native 
Japanese...:
Bubblegum Crash
Jaseikin Necromancer
Tower of Druaga

Anybody want to collaborate on a translation of these ?  (How about 
Valkyrie no Densetsu ?)

Id have to say my favorite HuCard at the moment would have to be Final
Soldier. I really love the soundtrack and the action is well the best of the
series 2nd only to Soldier Blade.

Aw man, pick one hu-card?  hmmm....i'll break it into categories.

    best music goes (hands down, imo) to LEGENDARY AXE 2
    most fun to play in probably BONK's REVENGE
    most colorful is MAGICAL CHASE

    but the msot important hu card is unquestionably STREET FIGHTER 
2because it showed us and the world that the hu-card was a kick ass 
format.  i'm still amazed that they were able to pull that off on a 
hucard.      peace, george

My favorite has to be Parasol Stars(TG version only because I haven't
received my copy of the PCE version yet), though it isn't far ahead of
the other twenty-plus games I play the most.
