Hm. Saturn gaming, in the long run, may not be for you. (Most AAA-titles and RPGs are expensive, require accessories, are imports, or all of the above. There is an overall lack of Sonic on the system. Some FPS games may not be suitable for audiences under 14.
Not if he buys a lot of cheap Japanese games. The average prices for each would be way under $20. He's have a collection of 2D fighters, Puzzle games and some platformers that way. Maybe even a shooter or two. He could have fantasy RPGs, but they'd be in Japanese.
Hm. Are there really any cheap Japanese games any more? I mean, the Japanese versions of Guardian Heroes and Shining Force III: Scenario 1 (both games have detailed FAQs that function as translation guides) are starting to go up in price now. (Plus the need to invest US$30 or so into a PAR.)

I'm also unsure about how many platformers are on the Saturn. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking Earthworm Jim, Rayman -- but those are on other consoles as well. Then there's Scud the Disposable Assassin, a lukewarm title. There are games, like Hercules, which are much cheaper on the Playstation and play just about the same.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Well I will see what I can find. If it does not work out I will trade the system and games I have for other game stuff I need. Thanks.
