        I’ll save you some time with digging, it does not. Master System games will not pass through the 32X. sorry kids, the “Sega Tower of Power” is just a neat visual, it actually doesn’t work.

    I had the cdx with the 32x on it. Supposedly you weren’t supposed to do that for some FCC rule, but it worked.

    And the Sega CDX console could be used as a portable CD player.

    Edit: forgot the X

    This kills the SEGA.

    Seriously, the infighting and cannibalized sales between the 32X and the Saturn are a big reason why SEGA doesn’t make consoles anymore.

      Not to mention the richer video the sega CD was capable of showing encouraged most games for it to pretty much just be choose your own adventure movies (from what I’ve heard, since I grew up on the Nintendo side of that deadly console war). Those “games” IMO are the poster child of games that focus all on graphics at the expense of gameplay, though they can be really rich in story. If younger me had gotten one of those, my disappointment would have been severe.

      Also don’t forget that they released the Dreamcast in the midst of all that, too.
