Sega 32X Story | Nostalgia Nerd
5,439The Sega 32X, also known as the Genesis 32X, Mega Drive 32X and Super 32X is a plugin device for the Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis, which propelled the 1988 16 bit console to a lofty 32 bits of undeniable POWERRRR. It was released in 1994 to help compete both with the Super Nintendo and super consoles such as the Atari Jaguar, Amiga CD32 and 3DO. In this video we will follow its story from conception to demise, and find out just what went wrong and what went right for the Sega 32X Add-on.
