List of Sega 32X games

 * Nominator(s): Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 14:44, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

I've nominated this list for featured list status because I've put a lot of effort into it twice now and I believe it meets the FL criteria (or can meet it easily with some helpful feedback from those reviewing this nomination). Five years ago, I managed to make this a featured list here on Wikipedia. Then, I stopped editing for a long time and while I was away, it was delisted because references went down and some of the reliability standards had changed. This time, I used references deemed reliable by WP:VG/S in order to put together this list and I've rewritten a significant portion of the lead, as well as restyled it a bit to better illustrate which games on this list utilize the Sega Mega-CD as well as the 32X.

 * Support on prose and images. Good job! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:51, 6 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Support with a few comments - 1) There's a few rows where you link Sega in the developer but not the publisher, and a few where you link in both- be consistent. 2) Any more identifying information on the Man!ac Magazine source? ISSN, page numbers? 3) Normally I'd prefer if JP/NA/PAL were separate columns that could be sorted individually, but with 40 releases I think it's okay here not to. 4) You didn't link Allgame in ref 22. 5) Consider archiving your references with webcitation.org or we.archive.org - while it's unlikely that Allgame or IGN will vanish or remove content, if either did so the list would become unreferenced. -- Pres N  22:44, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, not sure how I missed the Sega links and the missing Allgame link, but those are now fixed. I'll consider archiving the sources, but with 50 refs or so, that'll be a little tedious and take some time (but it would be nice to keep this at FL status forever).  As for the Man!ac source... unfortunately, no I don't have any more information.  It turns out that Man!ac (now M! Games, a German publication) doesn't archive their old issues on their website, so I can't seem to find any page numbers.  I will do what I can, of course, but at the bare minimum having the article title, issue, and publication ought to suffice if nothing else.

Source comments –
 * In reference 5, since the publisher is a magazine, it should be italicized.
 * Done.  Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 23:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I don't think the comma in May, 1995 should be there unless it is presented that way in the magazine itself.
 * Done.  Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 23:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * What makes RetroCollect (ref 40) a reliable source? Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. I think you about gave me a heart attack there... I'll explain, it's rather humorous. RetroCollect, I really can't vouch for its reliability and only used it because I couldn't find its info anywhere else, since the 32X CD version of Surgical Strike was exclusive to Brazil.  Didn't think I would, either.  Fortunately, and probably even better still, I found a great reliable source for Surgical Strike's 32X CD version, and one I'll likely use in the future now.  I was able to find information from ConsoleCity.com, which is a site belonging to UGO Networks, considered reliable per WP:VG/S.  Also, the two citations I had to other RetroCollect pages were not needed, as Allgame and IGN do an otherwise adequate job of covering the games, so I removed those as well.  I think we can safely put this to bed.   Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 23:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support I believe this article meets the FL criteria, and so it deserves to become a featured list. Good work Lester Foster (talk &#124; talk) 19:33, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
