I remeber a game where...

I remember owning a schmup for the saturn years ago, it was set in space, first person and had 360 freedom to move and shoot in 3D. The first few missions you were posted in a stationary pod, but soon you got to control a ship which was pretty challenging. Can anybody remember what this game was called?

I can also remember a RPG that my mate had for his SMS, first one I ever played and first console game I played that allowed you to save. I seem to remember you were a Conan style charater and at the bottom of the screen were blue and white bars that represented your health and experience. I'd like to track that one down as well

Was it Golden Axe Warrior??

Are you sure it was for Saturn and not Dreamcast? Might have been "Incoming" if so...

Yeah -- that would make sense.
I actually liked that game as well (although I played it on the PC)

[Curlypaul]

No, it was definately on the Saturn, never owned a Dreamcast to date, and the screenshots dont match up with my memory, the game I am thinking of was mainly made up of a vast starscape.

The rpg could have been Golden Axe Warrior though, is it turn based?

Are you thinking of Darklight Conflict?
(from the same developers as Incoming, no less)

hmm - never seen that before -- thanks for pointing that out!

No, it was more Zelda-ish

[Curlypaul]

Darklight Conflict, that was the one! Thank you very much roushimsx, I'll have to have another look at it now aee if it is still as good as I remember it being.

I've been searching round Google and I'm about 70% sure that the RPG was Mirical warriors, the gameplay screens dont look that familiar but those blue and white bars next to the characters name look about right. Hard to remember too many details I was 11 the last time I played it

i was going to say something about miracle warriors, i still have a copy of that game
