I've been playing Saturn since Xmas 1996 when my parents bought my brothers and I one.
For several years I entrusted my Saturn stuff to my twin brother who has that original Saturn we got. I had my PS3 and PS2, and he much prefers retro stuff to more contemporary games.
In 2010 my job moved from Leeds to Gibraltar and until recently I hadn't touched a Saturn game since I moved out here.
What reignited my interest in the console was dating a local girl who happens to be Sega mad and has a Saturn herself. For several unfortunate reasons, that relationship has now ended but it did get me interested in playing Saturn again. I also remembered I bought an action replay cart for the Saturn years ago to get import games for it but never really bothered taking advantage of it.
Anyway, recently I've bought a Saturn off ebay, managed to get most of my games from Leeds (some are still with my brother) to my apartment in La Linea (the Spanish town next to Gib) and have snapped up some Japanese games too. Replaying the likes of Guardian Heroes and Panzer Dragoon Zwei for the first time in years is a lot of fun. Playing games like X-Men v Street Fighter and Sōkyūgurentai for the first time ever has certainly been interesting too.

Nice! Welcome back and welcome here too. Gaming was more fun back then truth be told. While I still have and had it all it was the release of Daytona USA on XBOX 360 that reminded me of better times and I started loosing interest in the machine a bit other than playing retro mostly... I then started playing my Saturn more and often almost like the good ole days and not looked back type thing. Cool you still have most of your games, that saves a big pain in the arse right there! I'd grab the rest off your Bro if he still has some before his flame relights with you enjoying it again... the prices on ebay for some of the more sort after stuff can be a bit crazy at times although a good amount and quality titles too can be had cheap. Have fun and see you around.
