thegamezmaster Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hello, just scored a working Sega Saturn and was wondering if anyone can suggest some of the better or worse games for this system as this is my first Sega Saturn. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur2040 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Try the whole slew of Sega arcade games first. Ie: Daytona, Virtua Figther 1&2, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Sega Rally...etc... These should be really easy to find...cheap too. Other good games include NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon 1-Saga, the first person shooters by Lobotomy...Burning Rangers, Guardian Heroes...Saturn Bomberman...and I'm too lazy to think of anything else.

NintendoDieScreaming Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Few people know that the Sega Saturn is home to the greatest fighting game ever made. Fighter's Megamix is the greatest fighting game, one of the greatest games period ever programmed. I practically wasted half of my childhood on this game.

Why haven't I heard of it? I love those games! Was it a Japan only release? Whatever, just picked up an import from Japan on ebay for a grand total of $10 USD or $13.01 Canadian. Can't wait... Can't wait... Markimus of VF & FV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait... Markimus of VF & FV! 862845[/snapback] Haha!! Fighters Megamix was by no means a limited release game- we got it here in England, and if we get it, the USA will DEFINITELY get it!!! Fighters Megamix, christ that brings back some memories, as does Fighting Vipers!! A Virtua Fighter type beat em up, only with better gameplay and fights in cages!!! However, for me the defining Saturn game had to be Guardian Heroes. The range of characters available, from tiny little mutants to enormous robots that took up most of the screen (remember the one I'm talking about?? ), this game was sheer Treasure bliss You can never get tired of the huge rucks, with such an impressive number of players on the screen!!! Add to that the multiplayer support (am I right in thinking there was some kind of multitap thing so you could have 5 or 6 players??) and you have what I believe to be the greatest Saturn game!! Also, try and get hold of one of the memory cartridges for it- they're becoming rarer and rarer these days, and you DO need one!!!! Some other good games: Exhumed (an early FPS, which we thoroughly enjoyed- ropey graphics though!!) Nights/Nights Into Dreams- as previously mentioned- must be the second best game for me!! But try and get the Analog pad for it too, trust me, it makes all the difference. Also, Christmas Nights- but be warned- v.rare. Have a look here for the pad- they do have one: http://www.consolepassion.co.uk/sega-saturn-hardware.htm Virtua Cop 1 & 2- it is actually worth investing in two light guns for this- it's as much fun duel wielding as it was back in the arcade!!! Plus they are the best light guns ever released IMO. Athlete Kings Clockwork Night 1 & 2 were fairly entertaining platformers Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition Duke Nukem 3D Last Bronx Loaded Manx TT Panzer Dragoon 1, 2 and Saga Parodius Saturn Bomberman Sega Rally AND OF COURSE VIRTUAL ON!!!! Hope that's of help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I'm addicted to Virtua Cop for it. Its a great light gun game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoDieScreaming Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 AND OF COURSE VIRTUAL ON!!!! GAH!!!!!!! How did I forget Virtual On?!?!?!?!?!?! Temjin and Arpheid were the coolest!!! Fighter's Megamix definatley wasn't a Japan-only game. I got it the day I got my Saturn. The level all the kids love (and it's still my favorite) is Raxel's stage. It's a giant glass elevator in a busy city. The best part is at the end, when you finish off your opponent and WHAM! They go flying forever!!!! There's no better action than the Virtua Fighters vs. Fighting Vipers. As a kid, I was more of a Fighting Vipers person, but I think I perfer the Virtua Fighters now. Kage was always my favorite, VF or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega saturn x Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 While Fighter's Megamix came out in the u.s i highly recommend getting the japanese version. Same with fighting vipers they cut out some awesome secret characters in the us release of those games. Like rent a hero number 1 and PEPSI MAN!

NintendoDieScreaming Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Rent-a-hero and Pepsi Man are in my version... ...and it's a US-release. Did I get some weird copy or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
