I'm no graphics whore, but I find it hard to really like F1 Challenge with its graphics. Is Power Drift an acceptable alternative? I know its more cartoony than realistic, but that's not too much of a problem, if similar gameplay-wise. I didn't care for the random bursts of music in Virtua Racing, but I do want myself a nice, classic F1 (or F1-like) racer. Hey mate, suprised you don't like f1 challenge or Virtua Racing. I like both personally. If you're after an F1 racing game there isn't a whole heap to choose from on the Saturn. However, Andretti Racing may well worth your time. I haven't played it since 1999. I don't own it now but I do remember playing it ALOT back in the day and really enjoying it. Probabaly one of EA's better sport titles for the Saturn. Give it a go! He he ,I was literally coming in this thread to share a memory of Andretti Racing being abysmal, with choppy graphics and dull gameplay. To be fair, I think I was also playing Gran Turismo at the time. I'm genuinely glad you enjoyed it, as it remember regretting spending £30 on it back then, which was a lot for me.

Just bought Street Fighter Collection PAL. Hadn't played SF2 for well over 15 years, but can still remember lots of the moves! Spinning Bird Kick ! Great fun.
Anyway, somehow I found it for £30 on Amazon. Near mint condition. I think someone naively thought it was worth the same as the PS version...

Quite taken aback to find such a busy Saturn fan community, had no idea.
At the age of 32, recently moved into a house with enough space to accommodate all my teenage "junk" from my Dad's loft. That included a Saturn, PS1 and Mega Drive. Have decided to just keep one and build up the collection, which is of COURSE the Saturn and a fair set of games.
I accidentally got a Saturn back in '96. When shopping for my birthday present, the salesman in Dixons (English electricals chain, now bankrupt I think) persuaded my Dad and I to get the Saturn over the PS1 and N64. Looking back he was probably on commission to clear the things out... but what luck.
I was the only kid in my year to have the Saturn, and was seen as an oddball for it. But I loved it. The wonderful arcade conversions, the slight quirkiness of it all, Duke Nukem, Sonic R.. brilliant. I bought all the mags and held on until the bitter end in '98/'99, and remember feeling devastated when the local Electronics Boutique (remember that!) consigned the whole Saturn rack to the bargain bin- all the good titles had presumably been sent back as it was full of Fifas and Mario Andretti and the like.
My last game in '98. was Burning Rangers, which I recently learned is now a valuable cult classic. Couldn't also afford the £40 for Panzer Dragoon Saga back then; have just dropped £175 on it, am so keen to have a play. You live and learn.
That's enough rambling, thanks to whoever runs this website and I look forward to reading through.
