The 3D polygons were amazing for its time. Very similar to the arcade cabinet version.

How old were you exactly? It was pitiful compared to the arcade and Star Fox, released a year prior, was more impressive. Maybe you were thinking of the 32X Virtua Racing Deluxe? But that was released after The Need for Speed on 3DO so it had a hard time amazing anyone (even the 7 people who actually bought a 32X - only 13 less than those who bought a 3DO, but still...). And I am only talking about 3D on home consoles here, because in 1993, three months before the release of Virtua Racing on Genesis, Ridge Racer hit the arcade and its textured polygons immediately sent it a full generation ahead of Sega's title (Sega catching up soon after with Daytona USA).

It was very similar to the arcade version?!? Are you kidding me??? That's laughable!!! It was NOTHING like the arcade. Shitty graphics, shitty sound, shitty controls, shitty everything. Super FX chip was way more impressive in my opinion.

Even if he was thinking Virtua Racing on the 32X, it was still garbage compared to the arcade version.
I bought Virtua Racing for my 32X. I returned it because the graphics would glitch and make the game unplayable. It was a terrible game on top of that.

Shit...I bought a 32X and a 3DO at release.
The 3DO we had a lot of fun with, but the 32X I got with Doom and I think I played it for about an hour and never touched it again.
