You really ought to buy a NetLink

[Scooter]

At least that what these document I recently ran across say!

This store brochure touts the benefits of the NetLink. I read this brochure time and time again before I decided to buy one.





I'm not sure where this card came from, probably was packed in with a game.

Everyone should buy one so that way those of us who own one might be able to play more then once a month =P

lol i remember when 28.8kps was considered 'high speed'

Up until January 28.8 kbps was still high speed to me =/

Is it really that easy or don't they (Sega or some company) need a server or something like that to play online???

Netlink works by dialing directly to someone else's netlink....your dialing the person's home phone number in other words. The only charge is that of long distance if you have to pay for long distance. Also digital phone line users tend to have more problems them good ol' analog phone users.

I've played via NetLink a few times and it really does work pretty slick. Latency on Sega Rally wasn't all that bad and only popped up a few times here and there. The between game chats are cool too. It really was an idea before its time and way underutilized. My NetLink was my only access to the internet for years until I finally got a home computer.

Can every 2-players game be played over the netlink or only certain compatible games??? Also, is it compatible with Japanese games if both Saturns can play import??? Sorry, I am a bit late to the party with the Saturn like most people who chose PS1 over it.

There were only 5 games:
Sega Rally - Netlink edition
Virtual On - Netlink edition
Duke Nukem 3D
Saturn Bomberman
Daytona USA CCE netlink edition
