So, let's talk Sega Saturn.

StillInTheDark

I've got a working copy of Saturn Bomberman, and a multi-tap...it's super-dooper fun. No, really.

Rothgarr

I hate Saturn threads. They make me sad.

I sold my Saturn with 78 games, 2 controllers and gun on eBay for $520.

I am SUCH an asshole.

I learned my lesson, though - I'm holding onto my Dreamcast with almost as many games.

korodullin

There's one game I don't ever remember seeing anyone mention.

Dark Savior. It's a spiritual sequel to Landstalker on the Genesis, and I remember Gamefan getting quite excited about it 9 (god has it been that long?) years ago. I never got a chance to play it outside of a Sears demo stand, but I had fun with it and I heard it was good. You may want to check that out.

RVK250

After Neo Rasa mentioned Iron Storm in another thread, I've been curious to play it.

Good luck finding it for a decent price, though.


One ebay auction has ALL THESE listed in ONE auction:

virtual cop 2 solar eclipse galactic attack duke nukem 3d

fighter mega mix darius gaiden golden axe die hard arcade

Nba action NFL quarter back club 96 Hexen Robotica

earth worm jim 2 quake battle monsters xmen children of the atom

marvel superheroes iron storm resurrection ghen war

dark legend panzer dragoon 2 area 51 maximum force

last bronx Nba live 98 virtua cop NFL 97 clock work knight

iron man x-o amok battle arena toshinden enemy zero

die hard trilogy panzer dragoon



Try and get X-Men versus Street Fighter maybe.

Avoid "Scud: The Disposable Assassin" like the plague.

My stash:




I still have it all; crap quality
Edit: Might as well list the games:
Virtua Cop 1 & 2
Virtua Fighter 1
Daytona USA
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Street Fighter Alpha
Marvel Super Heroes
Night Warriors (awesome)
Virtua On
Sega Rally
Street Fighter Collection
Guardian Heroes

You must PM me the link to this auction so none of these other suckers buy it.

Some of those games are pretty lame, but a few of them are worthwhile.

Rohan

Guardian Heroes was awesome - two player mode was just superb. I can't really list any more that other people have already, but what about Fighting Vipers? I loved that game.

My cousin has two Saturn's... with I don't know how many games. But he loves Burning Rangers.

Xieflow

O, didn't your Saturn come with Xmas Nights and a 3D controller?

Yeah. And the "Bootleg" Sampler thing. It's the Christmas pack.

Sixfortyfive

Yay Saturn! I'll browse through my collection and return after I've seriously whored out my capture card.

Mmmm... Cocks...

Oh man, I use to have a screne shot of the old Saturn and Dreamcast thread next to each other.

I must uncover it!!

Xieflow

I'll throw in a few recommendations:

- Get a multitap

- Get one of those nifty 4M thingies (I just bought one off Play-asia... should be here in 5 - 12 days...)

- Three Dirty Dwarves. It's a brawler with a cool artistic style, is three players, and is just loads and loads of fun.

- Saturn Bomberman. 10 player bomberman.

- X-Men Children of the Atom. Excellent fighting game.

- Fighters Megamix. Lots of fun.

and then lots of other stuff

DRAGON FORCE!!

(pics horrendously JPEG-ed out of mercy for the 56kers)

(minor spoilers ahead)





























NEXT: Guardian Heroes...

Xieflow

how is Dragon Force 2?

Monoxide

I feel like I don't even need to play it now.

dr fukenstein

If you do Guardian Heroes, you must include pics with Serena

or all will be lost

The console for shmups, hands down. I think I've spent more on imports for my Saturn than I have combined for games on the current-gen systems I own.

Batsugun
Battle Garegga
Donpachi
Dodonpachi
Guardian Force
Kingdom Grandprix
Rayforce
Raystorm
Radiant Silvergun
Terra Diver
Strikers 1945 II
Cotton 2
Darius Gaiden
Gradius Deluxe
Hyper Duel
Sengoku Blade
Thunderforce V
Salamander Deluxe

I got Radiant Silvergun for a steal at $100, near-mint. The game is great, but its nerd-cred value justified paying double what I'd usually dish out for a game.

Sixfortyfive

The two best multiplayer games on the system:

SATURN BOMBERMAN

Wide stage allows for 10 players.



GUARDIAN HEROES




45 playable characters:


6 players at a time:


Eh.... looks better in motion...


Golden Silver, the final boss from Gunstar Heroes, is playable (notice the jewels above his head).

Forever Zefiro

What the hell is wrong with his arm?

I wish I had a Saturn with cool games.

You get the weirdest shots in freeze-frame...

Cowboy-Bebop

For Guardian Heroes, aren't there only 5 playable characters for story mode?

4 at the start. Serena is unlocked after beating the game, and the Undead Hero is always your CPU companion.

I'm going to hate myself and love myself at the same time when I find copies of Dodonpachi and Sexy Parodius. Actually, I'm just going to hate my wallet.

Wait until you see one of the 3 working copies of Saturn Bomberman and the Bomberman multi-tap.

I got mine at www.sega-parts.com new for $30. They still have copies... now I just need some cheap multitaps and 7 more controllers and I'll be set. The Bomberman Multitap is probally really hard to find anymore.

I just recently got a copy of House of the Dead. I need to calibrate my lightguns better the next time I try to play it though, as I did horribly. It does have the best instruction booklet ever written though.

The reason I own a Saturn is Virtual On. I bought the twin sticks and everything... its bliss. I really want to track down the saturn to DC converter that allows the use of the twin sticks, because Virtual On: OT surpasses the original in many ways.

One of my life-long dreams is to own the Twin Sticks. Sigh.

- Astal: One of those great games nobody's ever heard of. A great 2D platformer that really flexed the Saturn's sprite-pushing muscle. Has incredible music, too.

Hell yeah, Astal kicks ass. I want a Saturn just for this game.

Cruzn15

Without looking through the thread, I will simply trust that I will be the first person to say NiGHTS Into Dreams.

BigDes

I really really really really wish I bought a Saturn when they were easily available cause looking at some of the games that are available for it, the thing looks awesome. Stupid stupid stupid early teen BigDes and his beleiving of the PSX hype. :cry:

Penguin Incarnate

Man...the Saturn was pretty cool.

Backlash

Mine is sitting in the closet cause I don't have enough room to hook it up to my TV. I'd either have to replace the GC, PS2, N64, DC, NES, or Genesis. I need like a second TV in here or something.

TheSonicRetard

Find me a site to host videos at, chaps, I got an orgasm to unload.

The Cheese

Dragonforce is an awesome band.

SpikedFreak

I've got a brand new, sealed copy of Nights sitting here. I'm scared to open it.

Nfinit Vylence

You know what's a travesty?

At EB and Gamestop, you can get N64 controllers. You can get old Playstation 1 controllers. You can get SNES and Genny controllers. You can even get NES controllers.

You can't buy a damned Saturn controller. The refuse to even accept the things in trade.

I've been berift of Radiant Silvergun for two years now. I'm going to have to Ebay a controller up, posthaste.

Backlash

If you're in the southeast, Rhino deals in saturn stuff. That's actually where I picked mine up a few years ago. They had Zwei once too for cheap, I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up.

Not like anyone can blame you. After the Genesis, Sega got really, really shitty at marketing stuff. The Saturn era of commercials are perhaps among some of the worst commercials ever created, for anything, in the history of time itself.

Meanwhile, Sega hired Segata Sanshiro in Japan; making the Saturn a modest success for them.

Some (most) of you had or have at one point owned a Sega Saturn. I did, and it was lost in a flood. In a bout of nostalgia, I recently ordered another one, which should be here later this week. Now, aside from the utterly obvious choices, I'm at a loss to remember a majority of the games that made the Saturn worthwhile. So, discuss. What memories do you have of the Saturn's game library? Japanese or USA games are fine, I just can't remember what's good.

Where did you order it?

AFAIK, none of the major game stores carry it or any of its games.

Target doesn't know they sell things on the internet.

SpikedFreak

Are there any translation guides for panzer dragoon saga around? I've got a chance to jump on an import copy.

I'm guessing it's not going to be worth it

:roll:

"Ordering" suggests there is a store that has the item in stock. If he got it off eBay or something, it's not "ordering". If he bought it from a small store or something, it's not one I'm likely to know, hence why I asked.

Asshole.

GameStop also no longer sells Dreamcast hardware and games. Pisses me off.
