Sega CD at least had people experimenting with FMV games which are novel... 32X just fucking sucks.
>>
>>12358203
Ha! Uh...the SEGA CD because it had a real library of games compared the 32X that had maybe 30 games?
I had both and my collections reflected my previous statement.

>32X just fucking sucks.
Untrue (no OP), its version of Doom was great.
I had one, After Burner Complete, and Star Wars Arcade. All great games.
>>
One of them has
>Sonic CD
>Snatcher
>Shining Force CD
>Final Fight CD
>Lunar Eternal Blue and Silver Star
>Lords of Thunder

The other one's most popular games are
>NBA Jam Tournament Edition
>Mortal Kombat II
>Virtua Racing Deluxe

Does the 3dx allow you play gen games in stereo? That's all I use my broken model 1 Sega CD for. That and its absolutely beautiful sitting there.
>>
>>12358203
The best games used both of them
>>
really cant imagine anyone saying 32x
>>
>>12358306
The only shit that uses both is FMV shit
>>
>>12358498
Yeah and those look much better than on the stock Sega MegaCD

But they're still FMV shit that sucks ass to play.
>>
>>12358206
The shittiest games on the Mega CD were the FMV slop.
>>
>>12358509
Pretty much, but even they were fun. I borrowed Sewer Shark from a friend at school and had a blast. I also had a Top Gun knockoff that was just right for my age at the time.
I had Dragon's Lair and Rebel Assault as well, but the again I had the Star Wars chess game, so they were varied, if not limited.

Great comment, zoom-zooms.
>>
>>12358282
32X also has Primal Rage. I don't think that swings the balance in its favor but it's a notable title
>>
>>12358706
So does the Genesis tbf
>>
>>12358282
32X also had a great port of Space Harrier, along with some interesting titles like Kolibri, Tempo, Metalhead and Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000.
I'd say that the Sega CD still mogs it, just not by a huge amount.

>32X also had a great port of Space Harrier
I had that too. Thanks, anon. To add to: >>12358208
>>
>>12358894
Tempo is underrated
>>
>>12358203
Sonic CD, The Terminator and The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin are all better than the entire 32x library, and are unique to the SEGA CD, while most major 32x titles are better elsewhere anyways.
>>
>>12358203
I think the sega cd how way better games and more games but blacthorne the 32x version is kino as fuck especially on a crt
>>
>>12358203
Sega CD, very, very self-evidently. The 32X had a meagre handful of games in comparison.
>>
>>12358208
It had one of the poorest ports of Doom, but I agree it was revolutionary for the console.
>>
>>12358306
If only that was true. The 32XCD games were steaming turds; I owned most of them.

The games released on both add-ons were real head-scratchers - we were approaching the Saturn and PlayStation era, a few gems like Virtua Fighter and Doom showed that the system could handle modern games, and yet Sega were sitting there with their fingers in their ears singing LALALALA and releasing
A) Barely enhanced Genesis ports, making little to no use of CD audio, sprite scaling, or polygon models
B) Fucking FMV slop and laserdisc ports
C) (Almost) arcade-faithful ports of games from the goddamn 1980s

All while the fans were going blue in the face screaming for Sonic CD 2, or Sonic 4, or 32X Virtua Fighter 2, or Doom 2, or ANYTHING that put the 32XCD to good use. It's absolutely baffling, what Sega chose to bring to market instead. The fucking Saturn DESERVED to fail with that kind of incompetence at the helm.

>>12358282
Sega CD also got two FMV and audio-enhanced Ecco games, two Lethal Enforcers games, Monkey Island (In the US), Eternal Champions CD, and a raft of awesome Core Design sprite scaler games like SoulStar. It had a solid library after you filtered out the shit.

Yeah because it sucks

Sega CD obviously. Surprised the 32x even got any playable games out the door since its such a pain in the ass to get what you want out of it.
I once helped a friend work on a 32x romhack. Even though I've got background with MIPS and powerPC Assembly, SuperH is one of the hardest most confusing CPUs to code for. And Sega expected C and 68k programmers to hand roll code for this fucking thing
>>
32x has a shittier library but if you're a collector it's a lot easier to just get one and get the 5-8 games worth playing out of the way before tackling the Sega CD library.
>>
What could have a Phantasy star 5 looked like on the 32x
Pretty much the same as 4 but with some basic 3d effects, or would the 2d have benefited to? Curious
>>
>>12358282
32x also has Blackthorne
>>
>>12358203

I think Sega CD wins it.
>>
>>12358709
The Genesis version was hardly the worst considering it also got ported to handhelds but still, the system really didn't have the horsepower to run games like that and it had noticeable visual and audio downgrades. The 32X was the preferable version.

Which it should have been. If the 32-bit upgrade wasn't running better versions of the same game it would have been even more of a rip-off than it already was.
>>
>>12362093
It would have had an expanded pallette and sprite scaling, so yeah. I'm sure some of the Saturn 2D games could have been done on 32X
>>
>>12361613
I had fun with it.

>>12363106
Well you're a retard
