Dragon Force
Iron Storm
Tempest 2000 - my favorite!
Sonic Jam

Get Shining Force 3, get Shining Force 3, get Shining Force 3. I cannot recommend this game enough. It is my favorite game of all time. I have played through it AT LEAST 5 times (and the quickest I ever made it through was in 30 hours) I love this game, and cannot recommend it enough. Guardian Heroes is also quite the killer game that I enjoy very much.
The Saturn is my all time favorite system. I feel it represents the pinnacle of 2D gaming, my favorite format

Panzer Dragoon Saga is IMHO the best rpg game for that system. Good luck trying to get one cause Sega of America did'nt make enough of them before they canned the Saturn. Try ebay but expect to pay a high prices for it.

I would suggest TopDawg's method of importing... the only drawback is that some SNK games really dislike this thing and gives you a ton of ugly sprites... i think Samurai showdown was one of them... and if you do get an official RAM card, don't even think of a hot-swap. You'll lose your Saturn quicker than a set of nice rims at a 50 Cent concert. I eventually modded 2 newer Saturn's with a region switch. It's more convenient and definetly easy to do with ameteur soldering skills.

I just had to ask because Ive played all the other fighters except Children of the Atom, the only exposure I've had to it was with the PSX version *shudder*

I loved some of those fighting games on PSX.. you do a special move and then "Now Loading..!"
Holy crap, Samurai Shodown 4 had like 3 minute load times, and then it would have to load after the characters intro taunts and after every round. I'm not even joking.

Dumb question: Which came first, Dreamcast or Saturn? What is the lineage of Sega consoles?
