The Sega Saturn Thread

[TL]

I took a notion to gather my babies round me today:



My fiancee just shook her head and sighed patiently 

I love the Saturn but just the 1 does the job for me

I picked up so many over the years by buying whole packages at boot sales (and pretending that I knew nothing about them), rather than exposing myself as a knowledgeable collector and thereby incurring instantly-inflating prices.

:-) suddenly my PSP collection does'nt look so bad, in terms of why do i need so many.

2 Phats (1 still sealed in box), a Slim and a 3000 and was once looking at getting a Go, just for the collection.

They fill the chair out very well! Nothing wrong with a PSP collection either

nice stuff! I'm kinda having a hard time deciding between my DC and Saturn now in terms of which is my fave retro console, it was Saturn, then Dreamcast when the DC came out, and has been DC for years but now I'm starting to think the Saturn has a more diverse catalogue to the DC, I've seen everything the DC has to offer and I'm still finding Saturn games I want even now

just picked up Marvel Super Heroes on saturn today it arrived in great condition! Waiting on Tunnel B1, Layer Section 1 + 2 and Wing Arms? can't wait

Vyothric showed me this game in the chatbox and I just have to post it because it's so terrible! 

[Vyothric]

The music is what really killed me 

It's almost so bad that I like it.

[TL]

I would actually quite like to get this just because it's a light gun game!

[dcultrapro]

I have Death Crimson OX for the dreamcast as it goes

Saturn related, I just received Layer Section 1 and 2 and got Independence day yesterday as well. Also my capture device has been replaced and I'm back up and running so look out for more Saturn goodness very soon!

[TL]

Talking of obscure light gun games for the Saturn, this is one of my personal favourites - Chaos Control

It is in fact a conversion of a Philips CD-i game, probably one of the best games on that machine. It mixes FMV with sprites and looks terrific. It also has a nice back story and some great locations like the Statue Of Liberty.

To be honest, I think the Saturn craps all over the DC, better in pretty much every way in terms of gaming. Shooters, fighters, RPGs and diverse action games are catered so well on the machine. As good as some DC games are, few are better imo.

Yes you have the late Sega arcade stunners but still plenty of the same type on Saturn and Sega Rally is miles better than SR2.

yeah I do think that the Saturn has an awesome games library, the DC I've seen all it has to offer and I will always love it but right now I'm really loving diving into the saturns collection, its crazy diverse

I love the Saturn - I have a model 1 PAL and a white Japanese model. Have quite a few decent import games - some of the biggies -Radiant Silvergun, Soukyuagarentai, Layer Section, Parodius Series etc. I've also double dipped on the big games such as Sega Rally and VF2 so I have both PAL and NTSC versions and I don't have to use the AR cart to play them on my white Saturn.

I have a decent PAL collection too which I picked up in the late 90's out of bargain bins and places like Ca$h Converters when people either jumped to the PS1 or Dreamcast - all the better for me.

The controller is a thing of beauty - the dpad is to die for and I cannot figure out how the DC ended up with such a poor one. Have a couple of Virtua sticks and analogue controllers too - will post some pics of my collection..
