Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Don't get me wrong; I recently got Bulletstorm from a Steam sale and holy crap did I enjoy the hell out of it. They did things with the Unreal engine that I've never even seen anyone else try. But it was still more or less a straight-up shooter campaign running a dozen or so hours and has little in the way of replay value other than just enjoying the game again. A steal at 5 bucks, but a waste of money at 50/60.
It is a lot easier to blame piracy for poor performance, though.
Shining Force III
Guardian Heroes
Dragon Force
Shinobi Legions
Legend of Oasis
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
all complete with box and manual. I already own some of those, but hot damn that's an incredible deal. I'm guessing the lady who sold me these did not buy these herself, nor did she know how much this shit was worth.
But are you gonna sell it? It's not worth anything if you don't sell it.
EDIT: Although, I may trade them with people on forums to try and get Panzer Dragoon Saga without having to spend the $250 it goes for online.
You own a Sega Saturn...Ho-lee-shiet.
....His name is TheSonicRetard.
I'd be more surprised if he DIDN'T own every Sega system know to man.
Since launch!
True...very true.
The main pieces of Sega tech I'm missing are a Sega Megaplay, at least one System 16 game, a System 24 game, a model 1 and 3 game, and the big motherfucker - A sega lindberg, which I vow I will own one day.
Quirkiest piece of Sega tech I own would probably a Hi-saturn Navi, which I picked up several years ago without the LCD screen. Beyond that, I also have a Mega PC, sadly without the Sega branded monitor.
A plain-jane sega saturn is relatively easy to come by. I use my model 1 saturn, the same one I've had since launch, but I also have a spare model 2. Specific revisions of sega saturn can be tricky to come across - a skeleton-mold sega saturn from japan can get pricey, and today a Hi-Saturn Navi will run you several hundreds of dollars. I've never seen one for sale on ebay, but you can find them from time to time on Assembler, and the going rate usually begins at about $800.
It's not that they are hard to procure, but more of a question of "why would you"

So that knocks them out for me. Though if I wanted to play Crusader: No Remorse on a console....
How the fuck was George Lucas not sued

Crusader: No Remorse came out in 1995.
I can only assume you meant to ask how George Lucas hasn't sued.
Or he lacked the foresight to trademark the helmet with a T-shaped visor.
His personal history is pretty intense. As for the professional though... The C64 was the first computer I'd ever been exposed to. When I was a kid I used it to just play shit like Mario Bros. and Knight Games and such. Okay, admittedly, that's all I ever used it for. But when I was a kid I usually needed my family to set the games up for me to play. When I was about six though I read the manual and learned how to operate the computer for myself, which kinda blew everyone away. I was still using my C64 too, up until about... oh, 2005 maybe, whenever I would visit my mother. Then my mom trashed it when she moved. That didn't please me at all.

How was Lucas not sued
Lucas should be sued
By them

Man, when I was younger and the Saturn came out, those two games are what made me want one most. Panzer Dragoon previews in magazines were the worst for me to have to go through. I never ended up getting a Saturn.

What year did Boba Fett first appear in Empire Strikes Back?
Come on kids, you can get this.
Wow, well, there goes all the Star Wars nerd cred I might have had.
I could buy that it coincidentally looks like Boba Fett's helmet
But the all-white suit with the same damn helmet, that is a goddamned Clone Trooper
Also PS Boba Fett is lame and anyone that says differently is wrong, he's in Empire for like two minutes and then he's killed by a blind Han Solo and screams like a bitch while it happens. Random tangent I know but I really hate all the attention and love that Fett gets

The game I've been wondering about the last 15 years was Shining Wisdom?
I saw an ad for that in PC Gamer that long ago, didn't remember the title, and never figured out what it was for.
I salute you.
UV, Boba Fett got a lot of attention when the character was a fairly ambiguous space-badass. Of course, like many things, when detail gets added the character is ruined. Yes yes, "but he wasn't really a character, he had a few lines," but maybe sometimes in art there's a benefit to the viewer extrapolating their own interpretation. He said enough to get a point across that he wasn't someone to be fucked with and people liked that.

You could have spoilered those or something!

They still would have loaded anyway?

Sweet! Cred restored!
The Clone Troopers' armor is, both canonically and behind the scenes, based on Jango Fett's/Mandalorian armor.
If anything, Lucas could have tried to sue claiming the Crusader character was a ripoff of Fett or the Stormtrooper design.
That's nice. Nobody cares.
Of course it did, and of course Fett was in it.
Crusader: No Remorse came out in 1995.
None of those pictures are huge file-wise
They're just pretty tall images and there's a bunch of them!
I bought a Saturn years back because I was really into VF4 and wanted to try out VF2, and NiGHTs always sounded interesting to me. Ended up really disliking NiGHTs, but VF2 was great! Eventually got the original Tomb Raider and Resident Evil on it among a few other games that were probably on PS1 as well

Did not know that.
Which is still my favorite Capcom fighter to this day.
....I'll get my coat.
I purposely excluded all the Capcom and SNK fighters because of the inevitable "why not get them in X collection/get a neo geo/buy a CPS2/etc" posts. The above games are either saturn only, or the saturn version is far superior to all others (like Duke Nukem 3D, which is even better than the PC version).
I saw Kevin Butler's actor on another commercial this weekend while with my family. It was on the Discovery channel - he was a new guy, playing 3rd man to a pair of other characters.
I wasn't surprised.. just sad. His charisma didn't have time to show through.

Makes sense. Though for me, Duke Nukem 3D was also about the huge modding community--which I assume didn't translate to the Saturn....
It's better then Director's Cut but not Dualshock, and it might not be better then PC.
No, it didn't, but the saturn version used a custom engine written explicitly for the saturn, which featured improved graphics, and much better lighting. It also featured online play, and a full sequel to Death Tank, called Death Tank Zwei, as an unlockable.
Basically, it's what GL Doom and all the true 3D doom fan engines out there are to the original Doom, to the original Duke Nukem 3D.
It also supported KEYBOARD AND MOUSE.
Let that sink in. A sega saturn game, in 1997, with KB&M, and online play. Sega was so, so far ahead of their time.
It has better graphics than any PSX version of the game. The saturn version models use almost twice the amount of polygons as the PSX version. The PC version is, in fact, based off the saturn version.
