What about that space game, not the star wars one, but the other one. It was similair to Homeworld, and I used to spend hours and hours on that. I bought the 32x solely for Star Wars Arcade, didnt had a segacd, and still wish I could have played Snatcher (Metal Gear - RPG) on it. Never did find it again.

None of the above actually.

I recommend you guys go and check out Darxide.  It was the final ever 32X game, and only got a PAL release.  In early 1996 I think.  It's a rather awesome little game, and incredibly hard.

Knuckles Chaotix had... potential.  I loved the stages, and whole design of them.... and the music.  It clearly had it's own style, and a cool little spin on the Sonic theme.  The 'elastic band' attatchment completely destroyed it.

On another note, it's great to see there are more Sega fans round these parts!

Man, I'm still siting here in anticipation waiting for the day they manage to emulate the SVP found in MegaDrive/Genesis Virtua Racing...

I suspect you are referring to Darxide.

That SVP was a failed 32x (It was one of the proto's they scrapped, made it into the cartridge instead)

I was under the impression that they introduced the 32X because it was far cheaper than having to pack the upgraded components into every cartridge a-al SuperFX games on the Snes.  And the 32X, in theory, meant you only had to buy the extra hardware once, reducing thr cost of the games.
Of course, it ended up just being percieved as another upgrade.
