port of the Genesis and via a pass through cable on the back. It contains its own microprocessors to enhance the abilities of the Genesis, mostly by
providing better graphics and some 3D abilities. The 32x can be used on conjunction with the Sega CD. There are however only a few US FMV games which support it.

32x games come on carts similar to the standard Mega Drive carts but sligtly heavier. There is not a huge range of 32x games (about 32). Recommended titles are Virtua Racing Deluxe, Space Harrier.
Sega Virtua racing 32x


 Sega Virtua racing 32x

One of the best versions of Virtua racing, as good if not better than the saturn version. This game was a great example of what could be done with the improved 3D capabilities.
Sega Star wars 32x

You shoot 3D tie fighters, graphics were ok for the time but the game isnt great. One for StarWars fans and collectors really.
Space Harrier

Space Harrier is one of the better 32x games. Its quite close a conversion of the arcade version.
