Sega Genesis So who has everything

The one and only
I was just wondering who has a Genesis/Master System and all the attachments that go with it?  I also wondered is there any difference graphically between the 32x cartrages or the Sega CD games?
 
I have the Master System, Genesis 1 and a 32X.

As far as graphic differences between the 32X and the CD, I'm not sure. Although I have a 32X, I lack the cable connector to plug into my Genny. The CD, although supposedly better in the graphics, suffered bigtime with third party support, as everyone who was producing games for Sega was doing so for the Saturn.

I am sure that Mega will come in and dispense his near-godly wisdom of all that is Sega...

Seriously though, the 32X in-game graphics are usually better than the CD ones, because the 32X can move a limited number of polygons (not sure of the actual polygon count on 32X, but it looks slightly better than the FX games on SNES). But the CDs have FMVs (FMV, or Full Motion Video, was just a fancy term they used for the digitized, highly compressed in-game videos and cut scenes that were used before DVDs came along) and high quality sound as well, because disks can hold much more data than carts. The animated sequences in games such as Lunar are pretty good, but the compressed "real" videos in other games are just awful. There are also a few CD games that are supposedly improved by running them in conjunction with the 32X, but the difference isn't all that great. I've also noticed that, when comparing several 32X ROMs to their Genesis counterparts, the 32Xs aren't much bigger than the Genesis ones, so many 32X games are just quick ports of Genesis carts.

As to which is better, CD or 32X, it's all a matter of taste. 32X gets the win for raw graphics power, but Sega CD wins for sound and sheer amount of content.
 
I think I have almost everything. Let's see now... Master System, Genesis, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear... Oh wait. No Sega CD... :-\
 
Just a genesis 3 which I let the kiddies play. I haven't had a Game gear or dreamcast in awhile andthose are all the sega systems I've owned. My cousin has damn near every system though
 
From across the Pond (UK) I have :

Master System MKI & 5 X MKII
Game Gear X4
Mega Drive 4 X MKI & 4 X MKII (Genesis)
Mega CD MKI & MKII (Sega CD)
Multi Mega (wondermega/CDX)
32X
Saturn X4
Pico
Dreamcast X2
 
I have the Genesis 2/Sega CD/32X combo and works flawlessly.

1 Genesis 2
1 Genesis 1
1 Game Gear
1 Dreamcast (Doesn't work anymore unfortunately.)

Still looking for the Master System and a Nomad.

Click to expand...

The first one goes Sega CD > Genesis 1 > 32 X > Game Genie > Sonic & Knuckles > Master System Converter > and a MS cart I can't make out the title of.

The second goes CD > Genny 2 > 32X > MSC > some "cleaning system" > Game Genie > 2 Sonic & Knuckles carts > Sonic 3 on top.

I didn't take those pictures, BTW, but I've got everything pictured except for the cleaning thing.
