I suppose if I went through all of that emotional turmoil then I might have a different opinion too. lol

I agree that the 32x was a pretty awful idea. The concept of the Neptune could of worked with a few titles developed specifically for the console utilizing the 32x enhancements could of been an interesting swan song as the final genesis variation. I don't think it would of been a huge windfall success but it would of certainty been better then another convoluted addon to the genesis. It would of also had the benefit of NOT starting the trend of burning 3rd party devs with failed hardware that Sega largely followed until the dreamcast but the past is the past. *sigh*

But yeah coming from the perspective of someone who got a 32x for free and paid maybe 20 bucks for Chaotix I would say that its an ok game. I enjoy messing around with the game and getting ridiculously fast using the slingshot system effectively through the levels. The music was decent and the stages were bight and colorful, I just think it fell flat because of lack of refinement. Anyways I had fun with the game sorry if you didn't.
