Think I like Roy's list the best, as it contains some of my favorites on the console, including Time Crisis, Klonoa, and FF VII. But your list also has a great selection!

When you mentioned Top 4, do you mean four favorite games out of the list that was drafted?

Thanks Note!
By top 4 I mean top 4 lists. So I figure Roy's is #1 for you and Robert is #2.
Yeah, Roy mostly chose titles he enjoyed way back in the day. My list is mostly hard to play stuff that discovered later.

Robert's list is the only one I feel strongly about, and in part because 3 of the titles he loves are arguably better on Saturn.

I'd say Minh would be more interesting for me. While it's not exactly what I'd go for, it's the list I'd prefer.

Also, Countdown: Vampires, Michael? Really?

Yeah, it feels wrong to sell second best versions of them, but there's still no Saturn Mini on the market, so they're still valuable, no?

You're not pulling a Repo are you? Gonna customize a PS1 Mini for your nibblings but then keep starting over partway through and never actually completing the project?

I would love to see a Saturn mini, but the hardware requirements would just be stupid because even though emulation has improved greatly there's just so much going on that it doesn't work on the cheap.

This is all fictional :)
It's merely a thought experiment/game to talk about old games.
When we get around to fantasizing about the Saturn Mini, it would be a perfect replica, but smaller, and works lag-free on modern televisions. And has Japanese pads.
