Message: [QUOTE="RockinACup, post: 204130, member: 116000"] My uncle who was also big into gaming, and who helped ushered me into gaming as a whole, one day gave me his old Sega Genesis, and with it a neat little add-on: The 32X....Oh boy. [ATTACH type="full" alt="495315CA-FFD4-4CC6-8FA9-9B3F3CF4ECF2_580x.jpg"]69399[/ATTACH] This thing....reeeeeeks! It stinks. It was supposed to be an add-on that would "extend" the lifespan of the Genesis. Did it? Well for only having 40 games in it's library, with the added on launch price tag of $159.99, do YOU think it helped the console survive and kept players from not having to switch to a different console, or even worse, TO A DIFFERENT HOBBY?? What if they took up knitting?? And make sewing circles?? OH THE HUMANITY!!! But no, the answer is "no". And for reasons of obviousness. Barely any games worth a darn for the thing, the price tag wasn't a friendly moniker either, and on top of all of that, why even bother buying it? The Saturn was coming out the following year, which had it's own library of titles to play from, so really, why even bother? Plus out of those 40 games only released, 6 of them required the addition of yet ANOTHER Sega add-on to even get those games to work: The Sega-CD. [ATTACH type="full" alt="32x.jpg"]69403[/ATTACH] IMO: Not even worth it for the start up music, and unless you were into FMVs (Full Motion Video) based games, then buyer beware. Sadly I had to give them to a second-hand shop during a move years ago, but my god, I can only imagine the disappointment my uncle felt when he first started playing on this. [/QUOTE]
