I have just discovered the sega saturn

Post by billberth »

Just wow, i've never played to panzer dragoon, guardian hero, Dracula x, etc.... i had downloaded SSF just for fun, I was blown away to see the quality of the game on the saturn. I know it's just emulation it's not the real deal, anyway great time so much fun.

Im a huge fan of ikaruga and i had never the oportunity to try Radiant silvergun. so adicting. I love that game and it run pretty well on my computer. Im so exited to try the updated version for the XBLA.

What are the best games for the saturn. I have tried few of them.

Thanks!

Anything made by Capcom / SNK is great on the Saturn.

You right!

I always thought they didnt, it was the arcade version that was not made by them.

Check mate sir! :lol:

The Saturn version isn't bad at all. It's based on the SSFIITurbo engine and, although it runs at "regular" speed, plays pretty much like it (unlike the arcade version...). It is a worthy game.

I think you were trying to point out a Capcom game on the Saturn that wasn't that good. Did I think right? This game certainly isn't in my top choices, but it is still fun and very playable.

The Saturn is pretty much THEE ultimate console when it comes to arcade ports and shmups. Check out those links above, and for some more shmup listing check this out:

Saturn is a great system. The biggest problem about it, though, is that a lot of the really good games are pricey. One of the reasons that I'm a retro-gamer is because of budget contraints, lol. Still there are plenty of good, affordable Saturn games that makes the system itself well worth the average $50 price. And many of it's games in it's library has that unmistakable Sega style.
