Finally I found a Saturn community forum So I want to say Hi to everyone here. I guess I should write sth about me and Saturn so here's the story: I own my Saturn model 2 since 2000. My older brother bought it during summer holiday that year, I guess the main reason was the low price comparing to other consoles available back then. I had a NES before for 5 years (since I was 5) so Saturn was a huge step up, it made a great impression on me, bigger than PS2 3 years later. Really, the games and Saturn have something special that i couldn't find on any other console. So I played on my Sat for 3 years, I played only 6 games and had only 4 so after some time it started to be a little boring. Then came the PS2 and Saturn was given to my cousine but some time later it came back to me (without games though... including Panzer Dragoon, damn!). I even didn't knew about it but one day I found it in my house At the beginning of this year I thought that it's time to play Saturn again, so we (me and my bro) bought some games, scart cable (the old one was broken) and new battery. Finally, last friday I took out Saturn from the closet and put there PS2 so my Sat, after a long break, is there, where it should be and I'm sure it'll stay there, next to TV for a long time. So greets from Poland to everyone

Glad to have you...So what games did you get?
Visualizing the PS2 and the Saturn next to each other is kind of funny...Standing up the PS2 looks like the Saturn’s anorexic much taller brother....But the PS2 looks like it would dunk on the shorter plumpier Saturn.
Despite the PS2's reach, I think the Saturn could take out the PS2 in a fight, he's in a different weight class.
{Side note: Every one who has a PS2 I tell'em to play Shadow of Colossus...most don't listen, but it is a great game}

Welcome mate, is there much saturn stuff in poland? I know it was popular in France and Germany......... Thanks for welcome Well, I'm the only person I know who owns a Saturn, when I tell someone that I have one usually I have to explain what it is. Playstation is much more popular, for many people psx it is their "beloved console" and stuff, just like Saturn is for me. There are always some Saturn auctions on our polish ebay- allegro.pl but I had never seen a sat in a normal shop ecxept backup memory and PD zwei both for about 40 pounds but it was 8 years ago.. Currently I have VF2, Sega Raly, both Daytonas, Sega Worldwide Soccer 97', Tomb Raider and I'm waiting for Destruction Derby that I bought on ebay so I have all games that I had before (but with Daytona CCE instead of PD). But VF2 and Daytona CCE are in kinda bad condition (especially Daytona) so I have to buy some "CD polishing kit" before starting to play them.

I happen to own a spare Panzer Dragoon. Its a bit dirty and stuff. I gonna clean it up and remount the cover. If you like Ill send it to you. Itll be a week or two though. Just e-mail me your address. Ill pay P+P. I want to show off my restoration idea (if it works). Im waitin on a hair dryer for sticky stuff removal, and an iron to press the cover (see Sega Saturn UK Forum :: Sega Saturn :: The Saturn Lounge :: Restoration of Game Boxes). Its really not too mauch trouble.

But I'm not sure what do you mean by "I'll pay P+P" do you mean Paypal or sth else cause I have no idea lol. It is me who should pay, unless you want to give it for free but it sounds too good for me. Thanks again!

Ok, at least now I know what P+P means I have one important question about PD: is it PAL or NTSC cause I have PAL console and I can't play imports. As for CD restoriation I'll try to do it myself first, besides such services are also in Poland (not sure about the quality of the service ).
