Finally, here are the final rankings and downloads of the
SEGA Saturn Coding Contest (C4 - 2006)
The winners are:
Bounty Getters (proof of concept) by Zaksund
Super Mario Clone ported by VBT
Charette A Bestiaux (multiplayer tank battle game) by Vreuzon
Other entries are:
3d landscape flying demo by Rockin'-B
3d car demo written in Game Basic by VBT
2d graphic demo by Charles MacDonalds
To cite a judge (Tassian):
Let me say this first: it was a real treat to see how good all the entries were and how well the really important aspects of videogames were covered: a fun gameplay, flashy 3D graphics, cool 2D graphics, nice sound and long term fun.

2005 Cd was quite good too even if this one looks better.

Well my problem with it was the menu system being incredibly buggy, along with most games being hard to actually get to because of said buggy menu.
the menu was not that buggy, maybe it was a little slow.

Great you liked it Did you play it till the end ?
Now I really want a fullspeed NES emu for the Saturn.
It will be hard to get SNES full speed. Maybe a NES emu (runs at 13-16fps on 50hz Saturn without being optimized) could run at full speed and if we find a really good dev maybe a PCE engine emu.

Can the Saturn reproduce the resolution of the PCEngine? The Wii can't even do it correctly...
And a big thank to Racket for the support and prize offer.
