Thanks!

The 32X might be my favorite sounding system ever. It's the last of the chip tune generation, past NeoGeo. Adds decent quality samples to the already great sounding Genesis. Allowing the FM to focus all its power on particular spots rather than juggling sound fx, drums, n' everything at once. The Master System chip is still in there for some measure too. The sound test menu for Knuckles Chaotix is a treat, it shows what all 3 chips are doing and even allows you to mess with the tempo for fun. My fav sounding games are the Sega Arcade Super Scalers.. and they are a mix of FM and Samples. Which is what the 32X is and why After Burner and Space Harrier sound almost arcade perfect. When things went to CD there was no more limitation. The limitation musicians had with retro game consoles forced them to create in a certain way. They put heart in if they wanted it to sound good.

@@Jenovi hey kenobi did you ever ever hear of the star trek stafteeta academy pack in CD roms that came with the star fleet acdemy a thion figures that like had info and bacground innthe chrectoorsc a d like lor and backstory

"This game is another reason why I am a proud 32X owner!" Wow. Lmao! I've been buying home consoles since the release of the 1st Pong (!) home system from Coleco was released. I was alive (and suckered) by Sega into buying the ABYSMAL 32X console (after getting slightly less burned on the Sega CD). Of the 18 consoles I've bought over the decades: The 32X is EASILY, in terms of failing to live up to the hype and the most atrocious collection of software, the WORST mass market console brought to the market by a major manufacturer.

Another proud 32X owner here! I agree the 32X was capable of really great music. I wish more people would have bought it. I've heard before many many times (and I understand & agree w) all the criticisms of it, however I like to think about what if it had actually sold fairly well. I would have loved to see some of the cancelled games that were either in planning or in development come out. For it's small library I think it actually has quite a few gems. As for consoles that came out that did poorly I would say the Virtual Boy (which I love and own, not hating), Jaguar CD, and N64 Disc Drive thingy all did as bad if not worse than the 32X, and there are a few others I'm forgetting. I'm hopeful that we see start seeing more homebrew for the 32X and the CD. The massive overhauling of Doom on 32X recently is truly an amazing achievement.

It's also the only pool experience on the 32X.

Never seen those in person.

Jenovi somehow I just keep finding them in the wild. :)

Agreed, they’re better sized than the US/Euro 6-button controller. segaretro.org/Remote_Arcade_System

I highly recommend the Star Trek Horizons mod for Stellaris. IMO it’s about as close to the experience your looking for.

I will definitely check it out. Thanks

If you don't mind point and click adventures you could try the 25th anniversary PC game or Judgment Rights though those are more a few episodes rather then one.

I didn't have any clue the 32X version existed until years later because by that time I had lost all interest in anything Sega when they had so many different systems on the market at the same time that they were releasing games for and anything that came out on the 32X completely passed me by until I seen the rom listed on a site in the mid 00s.

Happy to hear you liked it. What version did you own?

there emulators of the game so you can play it on youe computer just get a game controller and you will be a kid again

😂 I admit it, its a mispronunciation carried over from childhood that I can't seem to correct.

No it's Trek...

I came to the comments looking for this.

almost all star trek fans say track for some reason lol.. i've NEVER heard anyone say tr-eh-k xD

Star track. Like space music or like space sprinting?

No. The audio is better on the SNES. Hook them both through a stereo system and you'll hear the 32X has added noise. The SNES sounds pleasant. But, the 32X is definitely steps up in graphics and gameplay.

@@evilinsecticon3813 SNES is a bit muffled. I have however noticed some 32X games "and Genesis" have unwanted noise. But it's usually not bad and still sounds crisper than many SNES games.

Thanks for watching. 😁

The issue is that the Genesis 32X is dramatically more powerful than the SNES with a SuperFX chip. Would be a lot of work.

Very much worth a play though.

Thank you very much.

I just want to let you know, that my comment would have looked exactly the same.

I think "32X graphics" are a great way to describe it. Enough power to really make things look nice, but not enough to do the terrible early 3D that just doesn't hold up today. As always Paul, thanks for stopping by.

And if you don't like it, you at least have Pool for 32X. Who doesn't like a good game of 3D pool?

I can't believe there are not more people calling this out lol I don't care what you're "used" to saying, say it right!

Man, I would love to see a Saturn port.

I'll been on the look out for that PS2 game.

Jenovi It’s a pretty solid FPS. Plus it’s got most of the voices from the Voyager cast.

Interesting

I don’t think this was a common game. I had a ton of 32X games and don’t ever remember seeing this in stores.

That's one reason I only play on real hardware. If I'm going to spend my time, I want the full unadulterated experience.

@@Jenovi I just tried it on an emulator. They must have improved the emulation, for it sounds _amazing!_ When I first saw the game, I was like, 'meh', but now that I have seen this improved emulation, I am in awe!

Thanks Graham, appreciate the view and comment.

Yes, it is the wireless controller, but it actually doesn't have the second start button pictured in the manual.

It's almost the best Pool experience on the Genesis/32X/and Sega CD.

How did it go?

Honestly most ports coming from a home console rarely stack up against their original counterpart.

Hey Allan, I've actually owned this for years and never felt tempted to try it before now. It was quite a shock experiencing a great game that is completely off the radar. As always, thanks for watching and for the comment.

+Drew Nichols thanks. :)

Fair assessment for sure.

You are not the only one. The "Excelsior" class and a couple of others in the 32X version look atrocious. The SNES had definitely far better geometry for their ship models.

The arcade game was released in 1982, this game was released in 1995.

🤔 you sure about that?

It's planned. I don't know when, but I'll eventually get to every 32X game.

These are solid games.

Star Track?

I've never used Sega's Wireless controller, but I don't think a good one hit the market until the Logitec for PS2 released.

Try the new Genesis Wireless game-pad by krikzz. That is the newest blast.

Yes 😂

It's unfortunately carried over from my childhood. There are a few words that I can't help but mispronounce.

Well, I certainly can't & won't knock or argue with that answer.

I know, right!?

Yes, they do look weird/bad. It is odd that they did not port the starships geometries and retextured them.

You know, like an 8 track, but in space.

Interesting fact, the game was remade for PC. It's not the same game though it contains the same name.

Country boy vernacular.

Was not expecting a reply. However, I'm glad you weren't fussed about what I said. Thanks for being cool, man. And, thanks for the video about this hidden gem! I only became aware of this version after someone commented on a idea of mine about the Super NES version. Unrelated: anytime I read "vernacular," I immediately think of Android 13 from _Dragon Ball Z,_ who is very much a "country boy." This personality trait got amped up to 11 in a parody/redux.
