Good day all!
I have often visited the site, registered a couple of days ago and this is my first post. It's great to see such an active Saturn community. I first had a Saturn in 1998 (the last days of the Saturn empire I know!!), I got it for £60 and enjoyed it thoroughly. I was always aware that it was the underdog at the time but that somehow made owning it all the more fun. Calamity struck 5 years ago when the old girl died so needing the space I just sold on my Saturn games collection (terrible decision) and absorbed myself in the current gen of consoles.
Fast forward to a few months ago and suddenly got a real urge to play Sega games on Sega systems, the Megadrive was first, then I dusted off the Dreamcast- then back to the Master System (where It all began for me as far as consoles went) I even have an Sg-1000 emulator! But there was a gaping hole where the Saturn should be and I got a searing pang for Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 2, the Saturn version of Tomb Raider, (even Croc!!) and many other classics. I have persuaded the powers that be that the return of a Saturn would be a great idea. I ordered one and am now waiting for it's arrival with great anticipation to recapture those days of carefree gaming! I have to start again from scratch but I can't blooming wait!!!
