I have a very well-rounded Saturn collection, but...

Nice Saturn games in your collection very well-rounded I would also just to name a few games I recommend:

-Burning Rangers
-Nights into Dreams
-Bug! and Bug Too!
-Panzer Dragoon series

I have all of those, bro. Oh, except for Bug Too! I always meant to get that one... I had a demo of it that came with my Saturn which I adored as a kid. I inherited the first Bug! from a friend who sold his Saturn but forgot to include that game in the haul he included with it (not that it was the most impressive haul in the world... a bunch of early first-party titles mostly, not that that's a bad thing), so he gave it to me... never got around to picking up But Too!, though.

Psychic Killer Taromaru is definitely one I'll be burning. I'll go update the list. Thanks for the recommendations, guys!

Oh, and I already have the 4-in-1 RAM cart, by the way. I just got it for saving; 'bout time I actually used it for all those fighting games! And I didn't know that about the Metal Slug port... still, I don't mind a little slow down in games with heavy-action, it makes it easier on me... and sometimes it gives you that nice, "epic" feeling if it's not too terrible.

Also, I've heard of Batsugun. I've seen gameplay videos of it and it looks alright, and there are RAVE review for it (ushered in a new era of shmups, as shmups.com would have me believe), but would it hold up well for a modern-day gamer who only has a middling interest in shmups (basically meaning that if a shmup is REALLY good I'll play it, but I'm not enthusiastic enough about the genre to delve into the middle-tier, or spend too much time with a bullet-hell shooter... God, I hate those things... well, actually I don't, they're great games... but I'm so bad at them they're not worth embarrassing myself with).

Also, what do you guys think of Blazing Heroes/Mystaria: The Realms of Lore? Looks like it might be a bit too menu-driven for my tastes. Anyone played it?

Psychic Killer Taromaru is a pretty cool ninja game. And its considered one of the rarest Saturn games in existence.

I would say HEIM WALTZ is the rarest Sega Saturn game. Psychic Assassin (not "killer") Taromaru can be easily found in Japan, HEIM WALTZ cannot.

A glaring omission from that list is COURIER CRISIS!

Bahahah, I don't know if I'm too fond of virtual housing brochures, but thank you!

And about Courier Crisis, I just don't know if that's worth the CD-R. I mean, what does it do of value that Crazy Taxi doesn't?

I had Courier Crisis for the PS1, it was pretty horrible.

Yeah, that's the assumption I made when I saw a gameplay video of it on Youtube. I dunno, that guy seemed pretty excited about it, though.

I said one of the rarest not the rarest. I read that it had a very low print run and was not easily obtainable from multiple sources.. Regardless its still a great game.

I failed at sarcasm. (refering to COURIER CRISIS)

A copy of CC usually goes for $100 in Japan, so I was attached to that hype. I have never played the game. =P

All joking aside, CROWS is a good beat-em-up.
