Found some pretty cool stuff.
32X
--
B.C. Racers - $4, cart only - BC Racers is a below-average kart racer game from Core. The original Sega CD is slower-paced and probably more fun, this version is probably a bit too fast. The controls are worse too. Still, this is one of only three racing games on the 32X, so I should have them all. It is okay though, even if it's not as good as it should have been. This game requires a lot of memorization, as it is on 32X.
Shadow Squadron - $11, cart only - This great game has been my most-wanted 32X game for a long time, and I'm very happy to finally have a copy of the cart! I've played the game before and did cover it in my 32X thread, but didn't own it... but now I do. This 3D space combat game has good graphics and gameplay, it's sort of like Star Wars Arcade but better. Great game.
PS2

Shining Force Exa - complete, $15. I quite liked the previous game in this series, Shining Force Neo, so when I saw this for what is, for this game, a reasonable price, I got it. I hope it's as fun as Neo is, that game's actually a solid little Diablo-style game. This was the last of Neverland's three Diablo-esque action-RPGs -- the first is the Lodoss War game for Dreamcast, and the two Shining Force games for PS2 are the other two. Unfortunately the studio has since shut down.
