Ya might be on to something. Perhaps for those that didn't get into gaming until later, they had no idea there even was a Saturn/Dreamcast versions.
I just know that, back then, a lot of gaming magazines would talk about these import Saturn versions and how they were so much better than the PSX version. In fact, I recall drooling over screen-by-screen comparisons of the two and being really pissed that all I had was a PSX at the time.
Demand for Saturn imports was so high, that even EB had a huge selection of import titles. I recall seeing games like Slayers Royal there.
But, if your first system was a PS2, then you missed all of that. It's a damn shame.
