The Best Mockingbird Shooter You Can Buy

The 32X was notorious for some pretty awful games. Either the technology was rushed or difficult to work with, but either way there were some pretty horrible games released for the system. If you look at the system the graphics weren't even that good--definitely not 32-bit quality and some not even up to par with the Sega Genesis. This alone was a huge source of the demise of the 32X, as well as Sega's empire itself.

That's not to say that all 32X games are awful; it's just that there aren't very many good ones among the slim ~30 game selection for the system. Most Sega-produced games for the console were decent, with Knuckles' Chaotix and Kolibri earning top marks. Kolibri is an interesting (using the word in THAT way) game with some pretty good graphics and an unusual premise. The word itself is Spanish for hummingbird (and in other languages as well) and developed a reputation for being the best hummingbird-based shooter for the 32X (har har). Just like Knuckles' Chaotix this wasn't a cheap find, but it definitely is a must own for the 32X.
