[[File:Sega_32X.jpg|thumb]]The '''Sega 32X''', codenamed Project Mars, is an add-on for the [[Sega Mega Drive/Genesis ]] video game console which allows the user to play 32-bit games. Its aim was to increase the lifespan of the aging Mega Drive/Genesis system, which was facing increasingly stiff competition from the [[SNES]]. While connecting it to Mega Drive/Genesis did increase its capabilities, reluctance to adapt due to the previous failure of the Sega CD and the upcoming Sega Saturn system led to low sales and a short lifespan.
It was distributed under the name Sega Super 32X in Japan, Sega Genesis 32X in North America, Sega Mega Drive 32X in the PAL region, and Sega Mega 32X in Brazil.
==Sega Mega-CD 32X==
[[File:Sega_32_CD.jpg|thumb]]In addition to regular cartridge-based 32X games, there were also a very small number of CD-ROM games for the 32X. These games were labeled with Sega Mega-CD 32X (Sega CD 32X in North America). As the name suggests, these required both the 32X and Mega-CD/Sega CD add-ons. Only five of these games were released in North America, only one of which was developed by Sega.
