That looks really cool.  Which controller did you use?

Standard pad.

[TrekMD]

Dang and you did very well!

I'm a scrub level player. There are people who can go a lot faster.

I would thrash you lol 

Easily the best Sega Rally version, hands down awesome game.

Smack talk!! 

Maybe we could start up a high score, best times area here....have a game of the month or maybe just have a set of tables for a small number of games moderated by the OP owner.

I'm not sure what my best score is but if I manage to get good one I'll post it. I bought a Saturn steering wheel a while ago so this will give me an excuse to use it more.

I've been playing a good amount of Saturn lately. I appreciate that a good number of shoot em ups allow you to rotate the screen for a vertical format.

Saturn Bomberman and Powerslave are quite good. Elevator Action Returns is interesting as well.

I own 2 CRTS and I keep the smaller 21" permanently rotated for TATE shmups.

The Saturn has quite a few, as does the PS2 actually.


Re Saturn Bomberman - i'd say it's more than quite good....
I think it's up there with the best versions of that game.

Saturn us 25 today.

Still a splendid console. Has aged far better than its contemporaries.

I saw a very brief article about it yesterday on Kotaku.  I've never had a Saturn.  I've been tempted to get one, though.

Took delivery of Space Harrier today for Saturn. I have the JP version of Outrun as well. The PAL and US versions come with 3 games on the one disc (Outrun,Space Harrier and After Burner 2) which is better value. The JP versions have a few exclusive extras though it's more a collector thing really.

Playing quite a bit of Nights this last few weeks. I'm having a good time picking a level and seeing how high a score I can get. I haven't even finished the game but I had heard so much about it's score attack nature I though I'd see what's what.

Pretty amazing actually. I'm gradually getting better and better with the score edging up and up. And then I go and check out a YT video and find a run of the level I can playing scoring over 1m !!!!!  I'm at about 260K.......

[TrekMD]

Very cool!  That is some score!

[davyk]

I've ordered the Japanese PS2 version to see how it plays.

Couple of updates..

JP version of Christmas Nights. Thinking of selling my PAL copy of Nights & Christmas Nights now as I have the NTSC versions. Will think about that.




And this nice deluxe pack - Detana Twinbee and Twinbee Yahoo - 2 arcade ports.
