Hey gang, so I have a 32x and am going to try and get it working, currently the only game I have for it is the Virtua Racing, however I can't test it because it won't work with the Mega Drive MK1, only the MK2 which apparently had an additional chip that allowed polygons etc. So I am bidding on a mk2 mega drive at the moment and wondered what other games I should bother to get? Obviously I want Chaotix but doubt I will ever afford it! Any other good games or worthwhile/rare games I should consider? also is the video output purely handled by the mega drive base unit and its connection to the tv? thanks guys

Buy a MD flashcart...

I'm not sure I'm grasping the concept of that fully yet, I can't watch the video at the moment as I'm at work.

Meanwhile, anyone got any suggestions/tips for me on this? I'd like to get some good retail games for it?

and I want to make sure I have the optimum video output I can get, I've contacted a seller who, luckily for me, appears to be very keen to sell me any spare parts I require for my 32x setup so now I just need to know what I need. The power requirements are confusing me, I think I need a power supply for the 32x and probably a different one fora mega drive mk 2 as well, can anyone confirm which models work with which power supplies etc? Its all slightly confusing!!

ok so ignore my cock-a-maimy comments about Virtua Racing Deluxe not being able to work on Mega Drive mark 1, apparently it can. The REASON I couldn't ever get my 32x to work was because it requires a cable to connect it to the mega drive and an av cable has to connect from the 32x to the tv, where as I didn't have the connector cable and was purely sending the picture via the megadrive port. school boy error!!

Anyway so I have found a pretty helpful guy on ebay who is selling me the connectors, static pins and an awesome AV cable that ends in composite cables so I will be able to capture from the Mega Drive, Mega CD AND 32x!

So NOW.... I just need to know what games you guys recommend? I know nothing about the 32x game library other than it has a bunch of 32bit versions of games such as DOOM and a few others. Any good shouts aside from the obvious chaotix?

I've been doing some digging and found a few games that appear to be re-releases on the 32x? Such as Supreme Warrior 32x and WWF Raw 32x, these games were already on the mega drive/cd before the 32x came out, is there any benefit in getting the 32x version or is it a cheeky cash in to get people to buy a more expensive version?

Game which i own that i'd recommend are:

Virtua Fighter (A must IMO)
Mortal Kombat 2
Star Wars Arcade
Wrestle Mania the Arcade game
Primal Rage (although I hear the PAL version is very very scarce, not the case here in the U.S.)

Wow !! That's one beautiful game. It has a sorta Ecco vibe but I've not seen anything like it before. Is it rare/expensive ?

Pal version boxed with manual goes for around €200.

There is a reason why I said to buy a flashcart...
