By the time they discontinued the Saturn here in Europe, CD Writers were still prohibitively expensive for the majority of regular consumers. I think the Plextor I got in late '98 was around £300. Local computer fairs back then would have no end of bootlegs for consoles as that was the cheapest and easiest way to acquire them. Honestly I still has a 286 ibm pc windows 3.1 in 98. I got an Emachines 800 mhz windows ME in 2001. My first real PC in all those years did not have cd burner. It costed back then 500$ just for the desktop. So to me a 200$ laptop these days is very impressive well to me atleast. Back than you wanted a laptop they startes at around 900$ for a bottom of the line we have come a very long way, very quickly.

Ahh heard of those never seen them before. I Understand all that but if you need a modchip anyways you might as well burn it yourself. Back in the Saturn days, finding ISO was not so easy: no highspeed internet for all, not a lot of websites where you can download them (IRC was the king), etc. And CDR + burner were expensive. This is why bootleggers made profit in Asia easily. It was easier to buy a bootleg for say 5 USD than dlding and burning it yourself. Also in Asia, this is THE place for all sort of bootlegs: games, music, videos, etc Yea I didn't have a way to do burning untill maybe 2004 or 2005. I remember payinf like 170$ for a graphics card rhat had S video output. It was great hooking my pc up to a tv to play mame

Hi Guys, I just found someone selling a pretty odd Nights into dreams disc. It does seem a legit game but in the same time, it doesn't match anything i know. Can someone help me out on this? I was thinking about letting this go, but if this is a rare item i might get it. Thanks for the help
It's a chinese bootleg made during the Saturn era. You can recognized them as: 1) they look like original with the color of the layer: always grey 2) they never have any copyrights, brands, name of company written on the cd/case/inserts 3) they have official or unofficial artworks on the cd/case/inserts, but always without any copyrights,... (see point 2) 4) serial number used is something like ss-xxxx, s-xxx, or any other simple serial 5) no outer ring on the cd, so can't be played without a modchip, etc They are pressed discs, not burnt. I have some of them, and somewhat liked to buy them (cheap) when I found them on the net. Ahh heard of those never seen them before. I Understand all that but if you need a modchip anyways you might as well burn it yourself.

I doubt it's a cd-r. they don't work on a saturn and I've never ever seen people on ebay selling saturn cd-r's after all you would find out the moment you put it in your saturn. You don't think that disc looks like an amateur made it? How about the back does it have a code of sorts?

Ok this is just my opinion brother. First I am not a expert on nights I have seen all 3 regions tho and have never heard of a rare version of nights. There was a point and time when some said that usa xmas nights was rare but i don't cpnsider that rare. Also id that can't boot it up on its own it's defiantly a cdr. My thoughts just by looking at the front that must be a cdr burn. There is no Sega Saturn logo on the front the nights text at the top is just too small and the picture of nights himself looks faked. It looks like someone poorly spaced out 3 logos slapped it on there know what I mean? Anyways if im wrong apologize I just don't see sega mass producing a game looking like that.

I have world heroes 2 on the neo geo aes and it's the worst piece of shit I've ever played. is perfect a big improvement? I know the series is kind of the laughing stock of snk. What you said there is 100% accurate. You need to own perfect only all others are horrible here is why. Many players to choose from Super specials or SDM moves like ssft2 or alpha. Ability to run and side step attacks. Run is also in world hero's 2 JET version only tho. Better combo system. For decades I hated world heros thought why the hell would anyone play this. Bizzare characters crappy moves hard to pull off. Nah perfect fixes and adds to all that.

I'm in agreement with bultje112 too. I much prefer the look of 2D games to 3D. 2D games look like video games. 3D games are more often just an attempt at virtual reality which I don't find all that inspiring even though it is admirable. In fact, I am a big fan of really old system graphics. The better Atari 2600 games have a certain beauty to them. Even something as simple as Super Breakout on that system and its selection of colours I find very pleasing. When you consider the limitations of that system then the technical juggling of getting anything out of that console is an art in itself. Ed Fries, who was responsible for xbox with Microsoft wrote a version of Halo for the 2600. He said the getting something working on a 2600 was akin to crafting a piece of poetry and that restraints can in fact inspire creativity. Same even all these years i try to stay to 2D gaming. Especially fighting games. What is tour favorite 2600 game? Play wise id have to make a top 10 but my top 3 come down to hero cosmic commuter and pooyan. Perhaps i also like pitfall 2 and the bc quest games on Colecovision. However on topic sort of best import artwork on a disc I think it looks spectacular is Astal. Not the U.S the jpn region. Many nice colors looks great.

Just got these today. Already had sfz3 but I bought the spine and the reg card from a seller im good friends with. He was kind enough to sell me those from the one he had put for sale. Im also going to buy a elevator action spine and an outer box for sfz3 when he gets his next order in. Astal and princess crown and layer section 2 I sold off last year but there great games so I had to have them back. Was even surprised my princess crown save was still on my machine. Hopefully I can beat it this time around, it really kills my experience not knowing Japanese if I did im sure id have it beaten by now. Looking through an internet guide step by step of the way feels like im just following a long instruction manual than playing a game.

In addition space harrier is like this as well. Not sure why this is.. What im asking is it's a sega saturn game meant for the saturn. How did this manage to happen how would one model saturn read discs different than the next? Did they use something different in the parts?

Always assume when down to seconds left that the bidder who is outbidding you has a higher bid by atleast by 20$. Depending on the item. I won my i love mickey mouse donald duck by this down to the last 2 seconds I was outbid by 1$ as shown I was at 30 out bid by 31 at 1 second i put in a bid for 65$. I won the item for 57$ and some change. So basically if I would have gone only up to say 40$ I would have lost it, in all honesty I really only did that to secure my win, wanted to only pay 25-40$. Ironically my plan worked but over what I was willing to pay. I did get it cheaper than the buy it nows which are 90$ so it's not a loss but like I said becareful you don't want to do something like that just to win it especially if its over the value or there are cheaper buy it nows.

I agree, however, they did add some pretty cool features I had never seen in any prior beat'em up before like hopping on the horse and taking out enemies instead of being just on foot. It sucks when the enemy steals your horse though lol Also if you like that one you can also try out nekketsu oyako or hot blooded family. One more Crows the battle action game. Both cost more then tenchi but worth having.

Hey everyone, I got in on some Tenchi Wo Kurau 2 and Gunbird today, both amazing games yup tenchi wo kuru 2 is good however the option option to run and do massive combos would make it better.

What you all have said makes more sense. Then what the youtuber had said. Think it was louder with crowder. That whole issue was over the kids father wanting to take legal action for what went down. Big problem with America right now is we have these groups of collage students. Who are taught by I can only assume collage professors, the media, and a few other outside influences to be the decision makers between right and wrong. They riot they think milk is racist they do whatever it takes to try and stop this country from having any sort of real law. In the last insanity report one collage kid wrote a whole thing on how most black people are lactose intolerant and milk is a white mans way of keeping racism going strong. I mean to come up with this and no many morons buy into this believe it to be true stand outside in a tent drinking milk with their shirts off down someplace in new york. I think it's funny as shit but that's me. Anyhow the s201ame group is now trying to push the home invasion into being a lawsuit against the man who shot them. Right now we have large groups of people pushing for injustices because they feel it's the right thing to do. Who knows if they where armed or not or not but someone brakes in, I don't own a gun im beating there ass or stabbing them if it comes to it. Im not willing to take any chances. Either way with everything going on over here im starting to wonder where our government is in all this mess. They seem to be over run its crazy at the last riot it was the Berklee collage riot our police here where over run and afraid to step in. That's not acceptable there letting these people do what they want.
