Tempo!

Oh Tempo, you elusive title with the WORST cover I have ever seen. I love funky games, don't get me wrong, and games like Toejam and Earl proved that weird can be super well done, but let's dissect this cover for a minute.

What you have here is a young alien-looking boy with sunglasses, headphones (at least they're not Beats by Dr. Dre), and some crazy looking McFly's fighting off  some kind of monster. With what you say? How about the power of MUSIC (and some sort of musical note)? And what's up with that spider hanging over his head?

Anyways, a 61% rarity rating via RarityGuide.com means that this title is a pretty decent pickup to be had, especially if you're trying to collect all 31 US released 32X games. Q-Sound was involved in the production of this game, so I have no doubts that it will be at least somewhat decent. Then again I could be completely wrong, since we're talking about the 32X here. What really chaps my hide about the 32X is that the sound processor in the console is so dreadful. Makes you wonder what the game would have been like on the first first generation Genesis without TMSS and the awful VA6 revision motherboard. C'est la vie.
