Finally, a Saturn.

[gogi]

9,000 days after I first saw one as a kid - I finally got a Saturn. For me, when I first saw one - I was living in Los Angeles. The hip comic book/music store always had all the latest games on display, and all the latest consoles... even the 3DO. Anyways, I vividly remember being able to wait in line, and then pay a few bucks to play a fighting game for 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure it was virtua fighter. It looked bad ass. 

But I was a kid and couldn't afford it. Fast forward a couple years and I had the Ps1 and Resident Evil director's cut... and never looked back, the Saturn was forgotten.

Now I have a very clean Japanese Saturn that I paid a good price for, two new old stock fighting joysticks, and two of the clear controllers. Oh, also the japanese 4mb ram cart and a memory cartridge. I also installed the Phantom mod chip and got some Taiyo cd-r's. I've even gone so far as to make my own CD labels with proper game art for my burned discs.

I enjoy it. Still not sure what titles to really sink time into though. So far, my collection is:

Doom
Duke Nukem
Powerslave
Panzer Dragoon
Sailor Moon Super S
Pretty Fighter X
X-men Vs Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter
Tomb Raider
Resident Evil
Vampire Saviour
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge



What should I play?

Welcome to the forums, gogi.

Some suggested titles from me would be:

Daytona CE (I find the JP version plays better than CCE)
Guardian Heroes
Quake
Nights into Dreams
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Sega Rally
Layer Section 2
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Last Bronx
Die Hard Arcade
VF2

The original versions of these titles would set you back a fortune, so I'm assuming you're going to acquire them by other means. The above list is just some of my own personal favorites, I'm sure others will have their own suggestions.

Have fun.

I forgot all about Last Bronx! I remember ads for it back in the day... and I feel like I may have played it. Was it also on playstation?
