Panzer Dragoon I & II
X-Men VS Street Fighter*
Marvel VS Street Fighter*
Dracula X - Nocturne in Moonlight
Dungeons and Dragons Collection
Radiant Silvergun

If you love 2-D games like most of us do you can pick up the ever elusive Capcom Generations discs for the saturn. The two to pick up are 1 and 2. Part one is the 1942 collection and part 2 is the Ghost and Goblins collection. Thirs in the series is Mercs and Comando I think.

*A 4 MEG Ram cart is needed to play these games. I don't know much about modding but my friend Paul modded a "broken" Saturn. A fuse blew inside it and when he fixed it he took the liberty of modding it, and ever since I've been in Import heaven. Interesting fact about the Saturn and how it relates to the Dreamcast is that the VMU battery size is also the size that fits into the Saturn for back-up data. However you can also find on Ebay the Pro-Action Replay 4-in-One. but if you get it on ebay make sure it has RAM capability and can boot up imports otherwise your in trouble. Need more? go here www.buyrite.net. They can cut you some pretty decent deals. If I can offer some really good advice STAY FAR AWAY from Final Fight revenge...oh the horror...

Another random post from your friendly neighborhood hardcore gamer

oh yeah...

Also if you love Resident Evil get the Import Saturn version. If you recall the U.S Director's Cut was supposed to contain the gory intro? Well the import Saturn version has said intro. That's all I got for now...Game on!

Not to mention the many Neon Genesis games. plain and simple there is like 3, Girlfriend of steel, first impression and another. if your a fan of the series you will love the games.

the fighting games are above the average, and the graphics are very nice. as my buddy above mentioned:

D&D collections. my goodness this one just rocks. perfect 2-d side scrolling action games.

If you liked stragety games I suggested Dragon Force and Iron Storm both are highly recommend. However the best game for that system IMHO is Panzer Dragon Saga, good luck in finding one real cheap at ebay, Sega did'nt make enough copies for that system before it went dead.

Shining Force 3
Dragon Force
Albert's Oddessey

those 3 are the most wanted on Saturn it seems, so expect to pay a lot... around 75$ each, but I did see a Saturn with all 3 going for 500$.

I must agree. dragon force was one of my favorite games on saturn. simply fun as all hell. and you can't beat a 100 on 100 battle on the field.

Some of my favorite Sega Saturn games that I own:
(and how much they'll run ya approximately)

-Sonic Jam ($35)
-NiGHTS into Dreams ($10-$20 with 3d controller)
-Christmas NiGHTS ($10-$15)
-Sonic R ($10)
-Panzer Dragoon Saga (also PD1 and PDZwei)
($100-$150, $15, $25)
-Burning Rangers ($35)
-Sega Rally, Daytona USA/CCE, Sega Touring Car, Manx TT
($5, $5, $5, $5)
-Virtual On ($5-$10)
-Shining the Holy Ark ($10-$15?)
-Saturn Bomberman ($30)

Get Burning Rangers! There are actually precious few of these out there, and its probably the rarest of Sonic Team's games, as well as one of their best!


Those are just a few of my favorites.. Mostly play Sonic Jam, and NiGHTS now adays.. but Sonic Team is my fave..

I'll second YujiNaka's recommendations. I'll also add that the following games rock:

Guardian Heroes
Astal (VERY underrated platformer - amazing 2D graphics)
Virtua Cop 1,2 and House of the Dead (if you have a Stunner)
Shining Force 3
Legend of Oasis
Darius Gaiden and Galactic Attack (if you like classic 2D shooters)
Thunderforce V - available on import
Radiant Silvergun, Soukyugurentai - import shooters

Any questions about anything Saturn just ask

did you know?...

That Sega of Japan made a VCD player connection for the Saturn. It was an adapter connection that fit into its back. Although we know VCD is the weakest format still pretty cool in my opinion.

Do you guys have any websites that talk about Saturn games. Cause IGN(Where I go for my DC and PS2) dont have a site for Saturn anymore.

For Sega Saturn try hitting:

http://www.sega-saturn.com
http://www.segadojo.com

and I forget the URL for it, but try finding "Sega Force" website.

Don't forget to read Jim O'Sullivan's editorial on the http://www.sega-saturn.com webpage, it should have a link right when it loads up.
