Hi! This seemed like an interesting place so I made an account! Always nice to see fellow Saturn collectors.
So a little about me. I'm from Europe but have been living in Japan for the last while and moving back my home country later this year. I started collecting vintage consoles this year, mainly focusing on Saturn games, but branching out to Sega and non-Sega brand machines. I currently have a relatively small Saturn/Dreamcast collection of around 60 and 35 games respectively. Trying to buy stuff I actually want rather than buying into lots of hundreds of games that will just sit on my shelf. Though that is a road I might go down. I mainly collect cib and new games and consoles. It has kind of turned into OCD at this point...
Though I am interested in other consoles and regions, I just love the weirdness of Japanese Saturn games. There is something magical about them.
I'm interested in Street Fighter/Marvel/Darkstalkers franchises on the system as I think Saturn-era fighters were some of the best to this day. But I got some other cool ones recently like Outrun, which I haven't played yet because I've got a white Model 2 Japanese Saturn which as far as I have read mucks up on reading some of the Sega Ages discs. I am also potentially interested in buying, refurbishing, and/or customizing Naomi and Astro City machines at some point in the future.
The magnum opus of my Saturn collection is a black (System-Disc)KD02 with a maker ID "T-325 C02 2546" labeled in red marker. Whoever that may be.
Nice to meet you all!
