![]() ![]() It’s gotta be one of the slowest feeling racers I’ve even played and I didn’t like it.ĭie Hard Trilogy – This is supposedly a light gun game, but I couldn’t find any shooting parts. *Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition – Like the original with a more options and tracks.ĭeath Crimson – Light gun game – Weird Japanese shooter.ĭestruction Derby – A demolition derby racing game. **Daytona USA – Felt just like the arcade, absolutely amazing! Not my thing, but maybe you’d enjoy?Ĭrypt Killer – Light gun game – Funny, because you’re shooting zombies, but the graphics seemed sub-par for the Saturn. Maybe I should give it another try?Ĭhaos Control – Light gun game – Kinda boring, but still neat.Ĭontra: Legacy of War – Exactly what you’d expect a 32-bit Contra to look like. I got terribly bored after 5 minutes and turned it off. *Afterburner II – Really close to the arcade (minus the huge cockpit to sit in), awesome.Īlone in the Dark One-Eyed Jack’s Revenge – Seemed like a typical PS1-style game…which isn’t my thing at all.Īrea 51 – Light gun game – Like the arcade, fun.īurning Rangers – This game had one of those 30 minute long training’s you have to go through. If you get the opportunity, I suggest you try each one. Also, I put a “*” by my favorites and two “*” next to the ones I loved. I played each one for at least a few minutes (and some for quite a long time), so I’ll give a mini-review of each. I’m assuming someone reading this page will have the same limited experience I did with the console, so I wanted to shed some light on a few games. – All the ports of the Sega arcade games seem excellent and other than owning the actual arcade (or a stand-up MAME machine), this seems like the best way to play them. Even if I only play 10 games on it, they are 10 awesome games. I was lucky enough to be able to try a ton of games and I came to the following conclusions: That being said, it’s really disappointing that it didn’t work better with Daytona, Sega Rally, or Virtua Racing. Since the racing wheels usually sell for $40, for the price I paid, it’s worth keeping just for Out Run. I tried it with a bunch of racing games and it was just okay, but it worked perfect with Out Run. I was also able to pick up a Saturn Racing Wheel for $10. Lucky for me, Justin came to the rescue and sent me his spare (thanks again for that dude) and now that I had it, I really wanted to put it through it’s paces. Of course, that one turned out to be broken, but it came with a bunch of games and accessories, so now my interest was piqued. That and this was right about the time in my life I decided girls and drinking were more important than video games…but I guarantee if it was backwards compatible, I would have owned one no matter what!Īnyway, other than seeing the Saturn box on the wall of games stores, I never actually played one until I played Daytona USA at my friend Justin’s house…far past my childhood I was 30! It was awesome, but even after building the Retro Cart, I didn’t feel the need to get one just for that one game… The Saturn did not sell well and in my opinion, lack of backward-compatibility was a direct cause…especially if someone had just dumped money on a $200 Sega CD and a $150 32x…after already spending at least $100 on a Genesis! That’s certainly why I didn’t buy it. Chaos control saturn plus#I mean, even though the Saturn was really expensive, what kid wouldn’t want one system that played all of the awesome Sega games, plus “real” versions of the arcade games? Well, in the end, it was apparently too complicated and cost too much for Sega to make the system backward compatible. – It was originally rumored to be backwards compatible with all the other Sega systems: Genesis, Sega CD and the 32x iterations of both.īackward compatibility would have been awesome. Since I always worshiped the arcade versions of After Burner, OutRun and Daytona, I was thrilled! – It was made for the purpose of bringing an identical arcade experience into your home. When the rumors first started (via magazines and game-store-chat…the internet still hadn’t caught on as big as it is now), I got really excited for two main reasons: The Saturn was first rumored around the end of the 16-bit era. ![]() Please don’t take offence, these are just my opinions. If you grew up playing PS3, you’ll probably have the opposite opinions on most things. Since it was completely new to me, I thought I’d do a short review of the system and the games that interested me most…but please keep in mind, this “review” is from the perspective of someone who normally prefers games from the 8-bit or 16-bit era. I had never used a Saturn until around the time that I’d started this website. ![]()
