It was built solely with the 32X in mind, however after the console failed development moved to the Sega Saturn for a short while before being axed completely.
It is also reported that Sega of Japan were not keen on use of the "Virtua" in the game's name, possibly so that the game was not associated with Sega AM2's Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing.
An alternate box mock-up uses the title Virtual Hamster instead.
In August 2009, Ryo Suzuki of SEGASaturno.com dumped an early prototype version of this game.
In it, the only selectable character is hamster, Chip, and there is only one empty level (though there are numerous non-moving 3D models of other characters and items dotted around the map).
A resets the game, and B/C can be used to move the camera forwards and backwards through the tube.
There are also two Sega screens.
About Sega 32X
The Sega 32X (1994) was an add-on designed to extend the aging Genesis hardware's life ahead of the Saturn's launch, but it confused the market by competing with Sega's own next-generation console for developer support. Its short, roughly one-year commercial life resulted in a small game library, making complete 32X titles a compact but genuinely scarce niche for Genesis-era collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Virtua Hamster for Sega 32X with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Virtua Hamster to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
