Hello guys,
I owned a Saturn back as a young lad in the 90s, and through seeing people on YouTube collecting it and playing it, I decided to dig my old model 1 out. I've ordered a mod chip, action replay 4m cart and a full scart Rgb lead.
I was really into collecting in the past, remember buying games from electronic boutique in the void between the Saturn's death and the dreamcast for next to nothing. I was really into the official UK Saturn magazine and still own all of them. Always dreamed of importing the Japanese games, so decided to try and do it now.
I was so surprised on ebay to see may how expensive these games are now. I have a really valuable collection now, all pal games including burning rangers, panzer dragoon saga (one of my favourite ever games and still don't understand the ending to it) plus many others.
I'm not sure I can afford to buy a lot of these games so may have to burn cdrs unfortunately. I am really looking forward to playing the huge import collection, especially the street fighter games.
I watched a video by "low score boy" which went into great detail about the 2 video chips, and really explains the unique graphical style of many games. It's a shame new consoles don't really have that unique style anymore, the use of vdp1 and vdp2 to get around the limitations, especially by talented programmers really made it unique. You don't get that with consoles anymore.
If anyone can point me in the direction of good places to find imports, as ebay seems to be so overpriced. I don't think the prices will come down either, as collectors are essentially hoarding the games now.
Thanks
Tom
