+wongojack Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hey folks, what's your favorite place to find Sega manuals online? I found segaretro.org. Is that where the cool kids find their vintage Sega docs and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Went looking for threads about good Genesis games and found this old thing . . . started playing Starflight My neighbor friend and I stayed up all night playing Starflight on the Genesis when I was a kid. Loved that game. One of the best ports on the system as well as the best EA game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I love the Sports games, particularly PGA Golf and NHL Hockey '94 and '97. '94 is the smoothest playing hockey game I've ever played, and '97 was extremely fast with slightly better mechanics. PGA Golf is extremely immersive. Sit in a quiet room and let yourself sink in to TPC at Sawgrass.... best course in the game IMO. Man, I need to drag my Sega out of the basement. Outside of Sports titles, there are the Sonic games (of course) and maybe a few more folks don't play all that much. Altered Beast James Pond II (Robocod) XMen Road Rash Road Rash II ENJOY!

Punisher5.0 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Miqorz......who remembers that kid? Seeing old threads like this getting dug up and coming across old members I haven't heard from in years brings back old memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Nice pics jin, I may have to dig out some genesis and pick a few of those up, and complete my 32x system while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Jin's list is a great start and I can co-sign a lot of it. Here are some games I would add, based mostly on my own enjoyment -- but I've put games I especially liked and think have broad appeal/would recommend without hesitation in bold. Master System (all European imports): Air Rescue Land of Illusion Line of Fire The Smurfs The Smurfs 2 (obscenely rare and expensive) Genesis: Arrow Flash Atomic Robo-kid Bonanza Bros. Chiki Chiki Boys Curse (JPN) El Viento Faery Tale Adventure Fatal Labyrinth Gain Ground Granada Jewel Master Light Crusader Marble Madness (JPN) Pete Sampras Tennis The Smurfs (EU) Super Hydlide Super Volleyball Todd's Adventures in Slime World (ugly, but so addictive somehow) Trampoline Terror True Lies Wani Wani World (JPN) Wardner Warrior of Rome II World of Illusion Sega CD: Dracula Unleashed Iron Helix Mansion of Hidden Souls Panic Sol-Feace Wirehead Those five consecutive Genesis games I've highlighted -- Gain Ground, Granada, Jewel Master, Light Crusader, Marble Madness (Japanese version) -- would be a decent representation of my Top 5 favorites on the system. In particular, Gain Ground is just awesome: strategic but arcade-style gameplay, and equally fun whether you play 1P or 2P co-op. Plus it also offers a somewhat different experience on each difficulty level. Not everyone likes this game, but people who do love it. All the Sega CD games I mentioned are FMV adventures except Sol-Feace, but they were all enjoyable for me and my wife to play through. You have to enjoy making maps and taking notes, though. Fahrenheit was also fun for a while, but gets a little ridiculous when you try to actually beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 If you leave long games on pause and come back to them later, yeah, it'll fry your 32X, big time. But other than that, once I got another 32X to replace the one I fried (luckily I had gotten tired of Doom by then), it never froze up since. If it starts getting jittery, then it's about to go, so lay off the Doom then! I think you just had bad luck. While this may be true of cd consoles, the 32x has no moving parts. I have left the Atari running for weeks, SNES, Genesis, NES, running for weeks on games I could not finish. Once I left my Atari run with Princess Rescue loaded in the cart slot, stuck at the beginning of 4-1, for two weeks while I was away at college. Solid state electronics doesn't burn up or wear out from extended idling. Unless the 32x sufferes from heat issues, no reason it can't run continuously. And letting your console on pause for extended periods is no different than playing it during the same time frame. Just be sure to turn off the tv when not in use. So if your 32x went kaput, it was simply it's time to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
