I may be in the wrong place...

...seeing as I'm from the USA, not the UK. But, since I didn't spy any rules forbidding it, here I am.

I got my Saturn back in 1997 for Christmas. My brother, to whom I owe a debt of eternal gratitude, heard of the system and convinced me to put it on our joint wish list. When we moved to separate domiciles, the Saturn stayed with me, and a few years ago I rediscovered the joy.

What most amazes me about the system is how hard it is to find a game for it that isn't phenomenally good. A good chunk of my Saturn collection was acquired on whims, some of them purchased for little more reason than that a seller I was buying other items from was selling it for $5. Yet I have only two Saturn games that I would call "bad"(Robotica and Corpse Killer: Graveyard Edition).

If y'all care, my favorites include Shining the Holy Ark, Solar Eclipse, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Clockwork Knight 2, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Blue Seed.

That's all. I hope to join in the discussions soon.

Welcome to the forums martiniii, plenty of other yanks here keeping us limeys company, so don't worry you're very welcome

Good to see you anyway, here's a warm beer and a kidney pie...

Céad míle fáilte from this Irish Saturn fan martiniii. Would'nt worry about location or nationality as they seem to be a rather accomodating bunch round here

What kind of Saturn collection have you got going? Perhaps you could post a few pics in the collection thread.

All the best

Welcome, and if you want an awful Saturn game, try Planet Joker.

Hi welcome!

You're not in the wrong place. There are a few of us here in the States. They're very nice to us at this site although a lot of the terminology is different and the games they offer for sale or trade typically won't run on our machines unless they're modded.
At any rate its the best if not the only Saturn online forum. Certainly more active than you'll find in the States. Everyone here looks at me like I have two heads when I mention the Saturn.

Not a very impressive one... A standard black USA Saturn, two standard controllers, and analog controller. A shelf full of 34 complete-in-box USA games, plus several loose ones, two European games, and 22 Japanese releases. Oh, and a Saturn USB link. It's more of a "These are all the games I need to keep me happy for the moment" collection than a "Behold my treasure trove!" collection.

Anyways, thanks for the warm welcome, all!
