I had one of these old-ass machines, but I can't find anyone else who ever had one. I think the thing had something like 30-50 games made for it in total. Mine was a hand-me-down from someone who obviously realized it was not for people who liked actual gaming experiences.

Did anyone else here have one, and if so, where did you get it and what did you do with it?

I once watched a commercial for Nights into Dreams. That's as close as I've ever gotten to one.

I'm actually kind of curious about them.

Not for people who like actual gaming experiences?
Not for...
*Squeeky voice*

Not for...

Go look up Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Nights and Radiant Silvergun. Seriously.

I don't have mine any more, or I would. Apparently I missed the awesome games, because everyone I've ever told I had one went "Ohhman...I'm sorry."

You know, the kind of "I'm sorry" you get when you tell them your dog's died or something.

I had one. Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Daytona USA, Virtual On, and Virtua Fighter 2 were all incredible... when I was 8.

Panzer Dragoon was so good it was worth buying the whole damn system for. I played the bejesus out of that game.

I remember getting mine just for Virtual On.

Man, that thing was a beast. I was totally reminded of it the day I got my original XBox.

NiGHTS into Dreams, Virtua Fighter 2, Shining Force 3, Die Hard Arcade, House of the Dead, Panzer Dragoon, Street Fighter 2 Alpha...

I could go on. Just cause you didn't find any good games for the system does not mean there where not any good games made for it. A lot of really unique games, and 2d performers where made for the system. It didn't quite have the power of the Playstation, which was the major source of it's downfall. The PS1 eventually just had better games. The system also had a nearly four year shelf life when most systems of the time lasted little more then five years. The N64 lasted five years in Japan as well.

Oh yeah, and I still have a Sega Saturn.

I had one with a shit-ton of games. I let my sister borrow it a few years ago, and even though I still have the console, all the games have misteriously vanished.

We had one in our apartment in college for the sole purpose of playing Virtual On. Good times.

I had one which I horribly misused, purchasing all kinds of random CRAP, and missing on the truly great titles that came out for it: Nights, Burning Rangers, Virtual On, Guardian Heroes...

I'll never be able to forgive myself for it.

Also


This guy should have had his own saga of games, instead of one crappy, japan-only mashup game. All his videos are made of freaking epic.
