   Good  stuff. Hopefully you got all the cables needed for the 32X...

   > Kolibri,   
      
   Like KKC mentions, this is one hell of a shooter. Done by the guys who   
   did Ecco(Novatrade) it's, not surprisingly, nature-based: You play as a   
   hummingbird. The only few gripes I have about it are the fact that ALL   
   of the powerups look the same, so trying to build up a certain weapon   
   can be super difficult, and dying leaves you with nothing...and thus,   
   once you get far enough in to the levels, you won't have a chance of   
   making it. Still, it's a lot of fun until you hit an incredibly hard level.   
      
   > Shadow squadron,   
      
   Quite possibly the *Best* 32X title available. Love it to death(as do   
   most). The lack of continues and incredibly long levels do take their   
   tolls though...after a while.   
      
   > cosmic carnage,   
      
   Believe it or not, I like it. It's not a great fighter, but it's   
   definitely interesting and plays alright. If you can get used to the   
   speed, it's worth going through at least once to see all the level and   
   character effects.   
      
   > space harrier,   
      
   Had this on my very first 32X, but not being a huge SH fan, I didn't   
   think much of it. Those who are, however, will tell you it's an   
   excellent port of the arcade original.   
      
   > virtua   
   > fighter,   
      
   Every time I see this one, I just swell up with pride for my 32X. Such   
   an incredible conversion.   
      
   > tempo,   
      
   Fun, cartoony platforming goodness. Large sprites, loads of color and   
   some of the oddest stages you'll ever see. Love it.   
      
   > black thorne,   
      
   Have played a bit of this via emulation, just to see what the fuss was   
   about; I wasn't real thrilled. I do plan on getting it at some point   
   down the line though.   
      
   > metalhead,   
      
   Another that most will tell you sucks...and as usual, I'm going to tell   
   you I like it. As far as I know, this and the horrible, horrible Darxide   
   are the only two texture mapped 32X games...and it's really something to   
   see. It looks like early Saturn games did...well, sort of a beta of an   
   early Saturn game. Kalinske was *so* right when he tried to convince SoJ   
   to let them keep going with the Genesis through 1995. I can only dream   
   of what some of the last gen Genesis, 32X and SCD titles could have been   
   like.   
      
   > zaxxon 2000   
      
   If you can get used to the slow speed(sound familiar?), this is an   
   excellent shooter. I was never a big Zaxxon fan, but this is just   
   incredible. 3/4 perspective, polygon enemies, wonderful scenery. I can   
   make it all the way to what I believe to be the last boss, but he kills   
   me the *second* he appears on screen. I've yet to be able to figure out   
   what's hitting me...   
      
   You ought to see some of the Earth-like levels...(this fish!)   
      
   > $4 a game seems like good prices although I've never heard of many of   
   > these.   
      
   Excellent deals, all of them.   
      
   > Also got 2 unknow Genesis carts, Dynamite Headdy (?)   
      
   A solid, Treasure-made platformer where you use different heads for   
   attacking. It's, as usual with all Treasure games, very unique...and   
   very good.   
      
   > and Soldiers of   
   > fortune.   
      
   Not a real big fan of this one...but I also haven't put a whole lot of   
   time in with it. Won tons of awards back in the day, just overall and   
   for it's co-op gameplay...
