Can anybody tell me which ones there are?
According to Wikipedia, there are -
Area 51
Crypt Killer
Death Crimson (Japan-only release)
Die Hard Trilogy
The House of the Dead
Mighty Hits (Japan & European -only release)
Scud the Disposable Assassin
Maximum Force
Mechanical Violator Hakaider (Japan-only release)
Virtua Cop
Virtua Cop 2
Policenauts (Japan-only release)
But, im pretty sure I say another one on one of the segasaturn.co.uk youtube mixed game videos? Looked like it was above the sea, abit like Panzer Dragoon (but without dragons), and was a light gun game?

I know the one you're on about its one of them CG movies where you fly around the statue of liberty and iut was ported from I think the 3DO. Still sucks though, Just stick to Virtua Cop 1/2 and House of the dead.

Yep. It was ported from the CDi though, not the 3DO.
Also, note that in addition to the port of the original version, which on the Saturn was released only in Japan, there was a remake of Chaos Control released for the Saturn in both Japan and Europe. I think it was called something like Chaos Control Remix in Japan, but just plain old "Chaos Control" in Europe. You'll want to avoid the original version, because unlike the remake, it's not compatible with the light gun.

O.... I just ordered the original from Amazon lol. Having played Virtua Cop 2 and House of the Dead last night with my new light gun, I can safely say these two titles are in my Saturn top ten. I cannot believe some of the reviews on House of the Dead, I think the conversion is very good and I have played the arcader version extensively over the years. Just waiting on my first longbox US game Area 51 to arrive and my copy of Virtua Cop as well now  |

The problem with Saturn House of The Dead isn't the gameplay, it was the VERY poor texture work even by Sega Saturn standards. Textures on the walls, floors, doors and even people were VERY poor and there was NO excuse for it other than the game being rushed which we all know to be a fact now and backed up with evidence.
It's said many of the textures were place holders and were going to be replaced with their higher resolution versions as development continued but oh well. Now I know the Saturn wasn't the greatest with resolutions and textures but there's no denying how awful HoTD looks when compared to titles such as Virtua Cop 1/2 and hell even other 3D titles.

I agree to some extend. However, I remember as a kid that the graphics in the arcade were crappy, and although I presume the Saturn version has worse graphics (cant exactly walk to any arcades to see lol), the conversion is a good one in my eyes. Yes it's maybe a blinkered view, and yes Virtua Cop 2 does look better, but House of The Dead has the memories for me and overall I dont think the graphics are THAT bad. The first boss it still just as f-ing hard as well! Looking forward to receiving Area 51 and Virtua Cop 1 this week |

the arcade graphics are far better because the texture resolutiones are higher, the saturn one looks pathetic regardless of nostalgia. the 3D is fine to me but the ultra low resolution of the textures is just taking the mickaka *see what I did there?*.
As said, if SEGA didn't rush it out the game would have had better finished texture work and the game would more than likely have looked FAR better. Again virtua cop 2 is a perfect example of what can be done with textures for a light gun title.
