What is your thoughts on Sega System 32

[Graw]

It’s okay! You aren’t the first person here who’s talked about the 32X instead

I think it really is on video game historians and SEGA for not preserving the knowledge of SEGA’s arcade legacy. The main people keeping that stuff alive seems to be the old heads who were actually there to experience it when it was relevant, but they mostly keep to themselves and don’t make much of an attempt to pass that knowledge down to the younger generation. It’s a shame too, as SEGA’s weird decision making makes much more sense when you factor in their arcade efforts.

I was around back then but we didn't have any arcades around where I lived so I never really got into arcade games. Mame's also very strange in its emulation setup compared to everything else and it's one I've always struggled to actually get working properly and it's only relatively recently I've actually started learning about arcade boards and why Mame is the way it is.

But, I want to contribute to the thread properly so I looked up the System 32. For the time it was released it honestly seems pretty ahead of its time. I have actually played Dark Edge which is apparently a System 32 game. It was kind of cool, not really a game I'd play, but what they did graphic wise was pretty impressive. It was a bit disorienting though. It doesn't look like there was actually a ton of games released on the hardware but what does exist looks like they used it to do some pretty cool sprite based graphics.

If anybody is wanting to salivate over some games THIS IS IT. These are the games we are talking about, and look at how beautiful they are.

I didn’t even know Rad Racer was system 32, let alone the first, but I’m so glad it was. I played this at Galloping Ghosts Arcade, and the footage doesn’t do it justice. The cabinet is just as much a part of the game as the game itself is!

Apparently, Sega System 32 had a game called Dragon Ball Z V.R.V.S., which was one of the first games to use motion sensors.

It's a Punch Out like game?

I'm genuinely surprised Bamco never made a Wii remake/sequel.

And that more DBZ games would have that shoulder view.
