Hey, just wonderin' what everyone's favourite Saturn games are. Or games that you don't really class as favourites but play pretty often.
Here's my list:
Cyber Speedway darius II Daytona USA Quake Alien Trilogy Amok Die Hard Trilogy Daytona USA: CCE Exhumed Frankenstein: Through The Eyes Of The Monster Hang On GP '96 Command & Conquer Tomb Raider Doom Duke Nukem Grid Run Wipeout Hexen Loaded NiGHTS into Dreams Road Rash Sega Ages

Layer Section
I just love that game. It's one of the most underrated Shmups for the Saturn. The innovative lock-on feature, the great music and the incredible mix of 2D graphics with semi 3D elements (similiar to Nintendo's Mode7) and transparencies really show, how 32 bit 2D games could have looked like. Awesome game.
Togue King (1 and 2)
I bought that game once and didn't expect anything. I was really surprised about how the graphics looked and how well the game played! I also like the fact, that it's kinda basic. You have your amount of races, which you can choose from the beginning, and once you won a race it's marked as won. So you always have a overview of what you have done and what is yet to be done, racing wise.
There are, of course, many other games as well. I can't name them all here. Maybe I'll pick some exceptions and post them later on.

I forget if there was a topic for this or not, but my tastes changed quite a bit over the past year and I like a lot of games, so I'll just try to pick out a few just to give a flavour of my tastes.

Given that I've not actually played that many Saturn games this list is going to be rather short...
Daytona USA Circuit Edition Discworld Gunbird Layer Section NiGHTS into Dreams Sega Rally Sonic Jam Soukyugurentai Otokuyo Soviet Strike Wipeout 2097
Looking at my collection there's one genre that I'm completely missing from it, I must buy a couple of mech games ASAP.

Then look out for Gungriffon, since it's great. And those Mobile Suit Gundam Sidestory thingies (There are 3 parts), are surprisingly cool as well. A little bit short, but up par with Gungriffon.

Bulk Slash is the best mech game on Saturn. So good that I actually wrote a full FAQ for it. Should be owned by all Saturn fans.

I put Sonic Jam on for a quick 10 minute blast and ended up playing all night. It's very rare nowadays for a game to do that for me. I seem to be developing a very short boredom threshold the older I get, but SJ seemed to hit the spot. For 5 hours.

I fell in love with the Parodius series years ago when I first experienced it on the SNES (which did a decent job of it) and the Saturn has superb versions of all 4 games.
Saturn Bomberman, Tempest 2K, Galactic Attack and Virtua Cop 1 & 2 are my other favourites.
