Night trap rules so does double switch!.. ( all dp games do tho

Space Adventure, Heart of the Alien rules good stuff. (out of this world 1 and 2), Monkey Island, Final Fight CD them are all good

[Slate]

Sonic CD is the best of sonic games. Forget Motocross for the 32x, It's poor quality. Corpse killer For 32XCD Is rated high, But i haven't played it so i wouldn't know. Enjoy!

[Cauterize]

MONKEY ISLAND! If you dont want it, id love to trade with you for it!

[Blackjax]

Well, Let me start with your list, just edited for what I recommend...

Sega CD games:

Ecco the Dolphin - I always liked the cart version, and the CD version has a better soundtrack, so if you like the game, I'd say go for it.

Space Adventure - This is a great graphic adventure with a text interface, akin to Snatcher in controls, kinda rare too.

Heart of the Alien - Sequal to Out of this World... 'nuff said.

Sonic CD - Again, 'nuff said. Get the Japanese version for better music tho...

Heimdall - I liked this one back when it came out, but for some reason, this is the only Sega CD I own that no longer works... can't give a modern day op

Dark Wizard - Get it. Now. Grid-based RPG.

Frankenstein/Dracula - Dracula is possibly the worst game ever released for the sega cd, maybe aside from Racing Aces, but Frankenstein has a great soundtrack and is a decent platformer game... I have it and I would buy it again

Popful Mail - Yes. Get it

Dragon's Lair - Eh.... if you have a DVD player, get the 20th anniversery edition - it's packed with Space Ace AND Dragon's Lair II... if not, its a merely average port of the game.

Monkey Island - YOu need to ask?!?!

Sewer Shark - Hey, relax.... pretend it's a game. Maybe I'll even be fun! SHOOT THE TUBES DOGMEAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Heh, sorry, it's a below average game, but just from the cheezy acting and mediocre gameplay, its one of my favorites. Just don't pay more than a couple of bucks.

Final Fight CD - Almost arcade perfect.


32x games:
Star Wars - Lots of fun with two players

Virtua Fighter - Amazingly, plays better than the saturn version, despite the lower quality graphics

Virtua Racing - Nearly as good as the arcade

Knuckles Chaotix - A lot of people hate it, I like it. Special stages are hard as hell, but the final boss is well worth the effort.

32x CD games:

Fahrenheit - probably the best FMV game on SCD... comparitively
Night Trap 32x CD - it's NIGHT TRAP... it's worth it just for the history! This version is a little different than the 'Red Box' SCD version tho - new intro (no more Genesis controller for the "control device") and it has better colors for the FMV

MOre to come... (LOOK FOR THE EDIT....)

My question to you would be, are you just going to play the games that are recommended and throw aside the games that others says aren't worth playing or are you going to take the time and make your own decision about each game?

[Damion]

out of those games I would say Ecco the Dolphin.

[Richter Belmount]

[Jorpho]

Indeed, games like Dune, Dragon's Lair, Heimdall, Mortal Kombat, and Monkey Island might be better enjoyed on other platforms (and probably only be marginally more difficult to find).

[slip81]

Ecco the Dolphin is cool, and I think I'm one of the few people that likes Sewer Shark.

I'm just going to mention two 32X games.

One that you listed... Knuckles Chaotix. Great game. Pick it up.

One that you didn't... Tempo. Can't. Get. Hip-hop. Song. Out. Of. My. HEEEAAAADDDD!!!!

You have to be the most judgmental person on these forums. Cut it out.

The reason I didn't mention Tempo is because I didn't get that one. The games I listed were all games I picked up in a package. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Money Island is one of my favorite games! Didnt knew it excisted for Sega CD.
Altho this is a game that require mouse imo, so I'd rather play it on PC or amiga instead.
I always enjoyed Final Fight, both on arcade and on SNES. Havnt tried it for any other consoles, but I guess its the same game

I found out a bit more about this Final Fight... it's apparently the best version (aside from arcade.) It lets you play 2 players, and you can select from Guy, Cody, or Haggar.

Tempo's in the house tonight.

Good god I hope my 32X hookups get here soon, I'm SUFFERING from not being able to play Chaotix, Tempo, and to a lesser extent Virtua Racing. So close I can taste it...
