US and japanese Sega Saturn games collector from France

[gustav]

Hello,

I am from France, but I have never bought a single PAL game for the Sega Saturn. I collect US and Japanese games and I bought most of them when they were cheap (Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight RayEarth...) I had to pay through the nose for Taromaru 5 years ago though.

I like RPGs and shooters.

Nice list! I'm not too familiar with some of the other system shooters you listed, but have played a good chunk of RPG's.

I've only played through Shining the Holy Ark, Dark Savior as far as RPG's on Saturn. Just got Dragon Force but am not good at it yet.

Shooters I've bought a lot but have only played Darius Gaiden and Layer Section so far. I've wanted Battle Garegga and Batsugun but they are expensive!

My favorite other system RPG's are Shining Force I/II(Genesis), Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star IV(Genesis). Recently played through Xenogears(PS1) and thought that was great too.

Dragon Force is one of my favorite game on Saturn. Once you have figured out the game’s mechanics, the game actually turns out to be too easy.

Battle Garegga can be bought for a reasonable price in Japan (15000 yens). Hyper Duel is the shooter I really like on Saturn. It is short and easy, but this game provides pure pleasure!

I also played Shining Force I, II, Phantasy Star IV, and a lot of RPGs on Playstation (SaGa Frontier 1, 2, Star Ocean 2, Xenogears, Tales of Destiny I, II, Thousand Arms, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy Tactics, Granstream Saga, Lunar Silver Star Story Complete, Threads of Fate, Suikoden I, II, Vagrant Story, Vandal Hearts, Wild Arms), but my favorite systems for RPGs remain the Super NES and the TurboGrafx.

nice Japanese Saturn games are a nice and cheap. For example Panzer Dragoon Saga Japanese version cost 40 euro.....Pal version 600 euro. The Japense Saturn games are the best! welcome!
