The Sega Saturn

[StarofAzura]

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?

 

[NeutralDrow]

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.

 

[The Wooster]

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.

 

[StarofAzura]

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.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I never had a Saturn, but I still love it for one reason: Segata Sanshiro.

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

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.

 

[StarofAzura]

I had Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter 2, and Bug. Does anybody remember Bug?

 

[King of the Sandbox]

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.

 

[blankedboy]

Never had one, kinda wish I did have one back in its time.

 

[Kouen]

Yup Ive had one! Loved it

and this guy is EPIC

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

The closest i ever came to a Sega Saturn was at a Sears store and i was playing a demo of Knuckles Chaotix or something like that...I was only 6 or so i think.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

Yup Ive had one! Loved it

and this guy is EPIC

that is one of the best things i have ever seen! the rest of my life is going to be empty now.

 

[manaman]

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.

Well According to Segata Sanshiro get yourself a Saturn! then your soul will be complete!

I Think this would be the only guy (other than bruce Campbell and Mr. T) that could have a chance at beating Chuck Norris xD

Greatest Gaming Mascot EVER!

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Still have a working one.

I've got:
Virtua Fighter 2
Fighting Vipers
Fighters Megamix
Virtua Cop 2
House Of The Dead
Burning Rangers
Guardian Heroes
Bubble Bobble Remix
Radiant Silvergun
Sega Rally
Loaded

I love my Dreamcast more but I still break out the Saturn mainly for Guardian Heroes.

 

[Iwata]

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.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Never bought one...played a few ports of some of its games.


GRANDIA IS A GOD AMONG JRPGS! A GOD!

 

[Proteus214]

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

 

[Max_A_Buck]

I have one still. Still works as far as I know. I loved Virtua Cop 2. Oh and the Daytona titles.

 

[Rauten]

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

Spoiler

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.
