The Best Undiscovered Saturn Games

Very good article here:

Good stuff. I found some of those games out by myself, but never played the majority of those games myself. I can definitely vouch for Assault Suit Leynos 2 and Dragon Force. (Though Dragon Force isn't one that really went under the radar of many big Saturn fans)

I've never touched Mr Bones, largely because the name was a bit tacky and the shots on the box diddnt make me want to play it, but now I see it listed there I think its time to dig it out and give it a chance!

Not a bad list, its always good to see Bulk Slash get more love. That game is one of my all time favorites. Only thing though is that Langrisser is totally absent from the page! Langrisser IV on Saturn is the best console strategy game ever and no mention of it here is a travesty.

cool article.

Well gutted that I never got Steep Slope Sliders. I always meant to get it but never had any money on me when I saw it.

Got a few of those gems.

One of them i don't understand is SEGA Touring Cars? Arcade version was excellent, but the Saturn version was well below par. I remember being so excited about it during all the previews and was so gutted that it turned out rubbish.

Steep Slope Sliders is far from a great snowboarding game, it is However the Saturn's only snowboarding game and dirt cheap to buy so worth a few quid of anyones money IMHO

[segaste]

Can't believe I only just thought of it. Death Tank! The game you got if you had Duke Nukem 3D and Quake or if you went thru Duke and shot every toilet in the game (like I did).

That was a cool game. Didn't play it too many times though, shame.

I would say Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru ..but i think nowadays is well known$$ ;D

Steep Slope Sliders
****TOTALLY WORTH IT****

The ability for you to edit and otherwise apply "seizure Vision" to your laps though the options menu is worth the price of the game alone.

I am a rather frequent player of this game, own it for my Saturn, and my STV arcade. The game is certainly a bit sub par when compared to 1080 etc, however a great game. There's unlockable levels, characters, and various neat features that really make the game feel like it wasn't brutally aborted and then placed on retail shelves..

Seriously, if you've got a spare memory card, give modding out one of your laps a try!

Additionally the list is great including:
Cyberbots
Astal
Three Dirty Dwarves
Albert Odyssey - Legend of Eldean
Baku Baku


Anyone know why Astal has no Name printed on the spine of the us release?

Got to agree with everestx on the SSS front. I have great love for this game. I remember playing the demo to death when it was covermounted on SSM. Maybe it's just rose-tinted adoration, but SSS is never too far from my playlist.

[tempest]

I'll further add to the love of SSS. I played the SSM demo and loved it, but only got the full game a few years ago. Played at 60Hz it's a fantastically fast and addictive game with the score attack and time attack nature of the gameplay. There's plenty in there too unlock too, even if some of it's a little gimmicky.
