   That's about the the only thing about the 32X that kind of disappoints   
   me: The Sound. If you read the specs for the 32X's sound chip, it sounds   
   really impressive...but turns out being a slightly more powerful version   
   of the Genesis' sound chip(in fact, it even uses it).

   Yeah, the Vikings are just sort of there, as they were done by Blizzard   
   as well. I always wished that their game wasn't so puzzle-based...it   
   looked pretty good.

   There are a few Genesis, Sega CD and 32X titles that have some wild   
   effects like that...I can't think of any off the top of my head though.   
   One I do remember is from some version of King of Fighers, I think. If   
   you leave the game paused long enough the fighters just start running   
   back and forth across the screen. It's pretty amusing.
