Yeah...I noticed at the bottom, there was VF2:SOLD, Sega Rally:SOLD, etc.
And some of his foreign games are pretty decent.
But I used to hate going into EB in the old days, and seeing rows and rows of ActuaSoccer, and other suitably naff games adorning all the shelves...as these would often be the games people picking up second hand Saturns would get with it, since they were around, only to be soon sorely disappointed.
Whereas, a few months on from the initial release, you couldn't see Burning Rangers anywhere. =P

Do you remember when EB were selling brand new Saturns for 14.99?
A few years ago they managed to get a load of brand new Atari Jaguars from somewhere too.

Heard about the Jaguars. ^_^ Think they even had Tempest 2000 knocking about with it too. ^_^ =P But never saw Saturns there for £14.99. ^_^ Of course, I already had one but still.
I remember I used to always go in and gaze in awe at their £70 VideoCD card...I *always* wanted one....but kept waiting for it to come down in price a little....kept checking the price for over a year, and it never came down.=/ And then it just disappeared and wasn't on the shelf anymore.
Generally speaking, EB were a bit naff to Saturn in the last few years of its life. Whereas GAME were awesome. You'd go into EB and see all the Actua Soccer and Victory Goal, and Actua Golf, and maybe the non-textured VF1. And then you'd nip into GAME, and they'd have Burning Rangers, Steep Slope Sliders, etc, and just new in that month...Deep Fear, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Shining Force III....*drool*...=O

Also worth noting that many of the titles Rob gets, including some on that list are still factory sealed. That's why I also like simplesimon666, Console Passion, and Genki as they tend to find a lot of factory fresh games =) Which reminds me - Sega Enterprises (otherwise known as SOJ) still manufacture Saturn games from time to time, including rare titles and bonus material. It's true, take a look at their site; they were selling copies of all four Shining Force 3 discs =) Some American company legitimately manufactures a Mega Drive game called Beggar Prince although I never played that (it was released in 1998 or some-such). Where was I ? Yes ! Virtual-On as a "worst" game ! ? That said, I know most people can't get past the third battle so fair-dos =)

Damn right; there were barely any enemies (some levels don't have them), the motion gave me a severe head pain every time I played, plus there was the awful music that looped after 10 seconds, and the draw distance was abysmal. Biggest slap-in-the-face of all was the fact that you may have noticed that the game is extremely slow ? Well, the game suffered from almost permanent slowdown, and on rare occasions it would sometimes play at twice the speed, but this was such a rare occurence that I only noticed it twice.
