Yeah, because I don't have the spacer I don't keep it in the Genesis when I'm not using it, don't want to do potential damage... the cable switching is slightly annoying, but I only have a couple of 32X games, so I don't play them that much anyway. (the two 32XCD games don't count, I only buy FMV games, I don't actually PLAY them! :D).
Still though, all three are fun games. Star Wars Arcade is quite hard, particularly in the trench missions, but definitely fun... Virtua Racing is a great game brought down only by the lack of any championship mode or highscore save (as I said in that post, makes me want the Japanese version and a region mod in my Genesis to run it...), and Metal Head is decent enough fun. But it's only a couple of games, while I have lots more for Genesis and Sega CD. Plus, it definitely does look ugly there, and the spacer would only help so much... it'd still look ugly even with it, I imagine. Oh well, if you want to play the games you've got no choice.
As for Knuckles Chaotix... from what I've played of it in emulation, I'm very far from impressed. The game's just so barren! Entire levels go by with like one enemy in them, the levels all feel very similar, there's no difficulty curve because you play the worlds in random order, etc... it's just a boring game to play that feels like it was shipped half-finished. Evidently the bonus stages are 3d and awesome, but I didn't have the patience to get even that far, it was too dull. Combine that with the often somewhat high prices the game goes for online, and unless I run into a cheap copy locally (unlikely but technically possible), I doubt I'll be getting it anytime soon. Even just looking at the platformers on 32X, games like Blackthorne 32X or Tempo are so much more fun to actually play...
