Ah ok, I´ve never seen/heard of it before so wasn´t sure. Enjoy!

I

It's a fun puzzle type game, stack up the food (Bones, Bamboo, Carrots) and then drop the animals (Dogs, Pandas, Rabbits) to eat up the pieces.

Baku Baku Animal is indeed great fun, I love the multiplayer in this one.

I did get from Zyrobs on this forum :
- Planet Joker
- Cleopatra Fortune
- Galaxy Force 2

This is another effort to complete my shmups set, and to gather more puzzle games.

As for shmups, I now own 57 of them in the "forced hori or vert scrolling" category, but miss 3 :
- Gun Frontier
- Keyio Yugekitai Flying Squadron
- Terra Cresta 3D

Looking to buy from anyone !

[sych]

Indeed. Baku Baku is a classic

Picked up Panzer Dragoon 1 and Saga.

I´m really pleased with Saga despite the price, as both the box and the cds look like they haven´t even been touched before. I look forward to playing it!

Glad to get 1 on the Saturn too. Played on the PC and keyboard controls are a bit wonky with it.

That is literally it for games I buy for a long long time. I´m still debating if buying PDS was a good idea. At least if it´s shit I can sell it and make most, if not all, of my money back.

I saw PAL PDZ for only £180 last year, it wasn't in great condition but I was sorely tempted.
I'll likely play a CDR version when I actually want to play it.

I played the demo that was supplied on the magazine cover back in the day and it was ace so I'm sure you'll enjoy playing it.

Can I ask how much it set you back? Do you have any pictures?

[The Elite MYT]

I can only find the picture they posted on their FB, but they aren´t far so I have seen the quality of the cases and discs before. They´re posting it tracked so I´ll have tomorrow, along with a protective sleeve for it.



It cost 350€ in total, same as the one I saw the other day that had a beaten up box. I was going to try and get for 300 or less, but I´ve been looking at recent auctions and I don´t think that will be possible unless I´m really lucky.

On a side note, I also noticed during my research that Burning Rangers is now in the hundreds. I bought it for like 40€ in mint condition a couple of years ago. Mr Bones, Shinobi X and Enemy Zero seem to be climbing too, and I didn´t pay that much for any of those a couple of years ago either.

I´m starting to think I should prioritise the pricier ones first. At least the pricey ones that I really want to have.

First 2018 Saturn purchases...I just can't help myself.

Just picked up Wipeout XL for £50 + £4 p&p,no spine or reg, from Steve666b, bargain, been waiting ages for this to turn up at this price, it had quite a low print run in japan.



Also picked up Street Fighter Zero 1&2 , both with spine and reg, for £18, p&p free.

SpanishAdam, great find on the PDS. I cannot see all the details of the box, but I guess this has to be really mint for the price to get up to 350€.
I priced my copy at 270€ with a box in a not-so-bad shape, visible here : photos.app.goo.gl/0QhWlms7hyswGpTJ3
Then I realized I had already sold my other copy, so decided to keep this one. The stupid in me, is stupid.

marc, I see we have the same sources for JP stuff on ebay. I had already checked that WipeoutXL from Steeve666b, and the price was indeed good. I also like to check :

- hit-japan : some interesting low price items (puzzles for instance), a bit expensive on the pricier ones though, best offer availbale on everything.

- jp-goods : many auctions, often rare items. Last auction for Taromaru complete spine+stickers, mint, went at $750. Ouch !

- upstarsjapan : some of the lowest price I see nowadays, really. I got SFZero2 Dash (which is said to be even rarer than SFZero3) at $90 shipped. Best offer available on everything.

Ebay is extremely overpriced right now and people tend to guide their prices from there... In Portugal we have a portal called "OLX" which pretty much is a platform were people post their items and sell directly without a reference count/system and i noticed Spain also have one. Both have one thing is common: prices are ridiculous. I found a PDS - no cardboard and no manual - for a whooping 300€ and a complete one for 500€! 

For heavy hitters, i advise you to check *Galaxy Sega* (a facebook group - it's Sega stuff in general, not only Saturn). It requires admin approval, but they aren't too strict about it.
It's a UK based forum and some people don't like shipping abroad, but some do and you'll find complete bargains down there. For instance, i got Shenmue I & II (both complete) for 75£ + shipping costs. Everyone uses paypal and for a whole year of membership i never heard of any kind of problems with sales. 

I've seen in the past PDS being sold for 180-200£ (which is the standard there). Megaman for 180 and Swagman for the same ammount. There was even a guy selling his Mint Shining Force 3 for 105£ and no one touched it because it was expensive for their standards. 

There are also lots of people who buy batches of games and have tons of duplicates. All in all: if you want to buy Sega stuff, join that facebook group and get on a shopping spree : p Trust me, as long as you're honest, you won't regret it.

[The Elite MYT]

Cheers! I´ll join it now!

[guigui]

dantemdie, now you're killing me ! I made a promise to myself never to subscribe to Facebook, and now you're telling me this !?
Any way to access it other than Facebook ? I do have a gmail account for instance.

[dantemdie]

For the sake of saving money and getting some high quality Sega stuf... I think it might be worthwhile joining ; )

Just don't expect people to allow you into the group without any kind of photo lol

Great pick up. I've always prefered the artwork to the first zero game.

[Samantha]

If I'm honest sych, the artwork on both titles isn't really doing it for me... zero3 on the other hand!!! Darkstalkers is also not to my taste. Most of the Capcom artwork is to my liking though.

I have plenty of games with artwork I don't particularly rate. At the same time I have very few games I own for the sake of the artwork.
The only title that comes to mind is 3x3 Eyes, which I bought purely because I liked the cover, knowing I would never play the game. I enjoyed the 2nd disc anime though.

It might be an interesting thread. Either capcom based, or just favourites and disliked saturn artwork.
