The Best Saturn Games

[joeSaturn]

I've been Cotton Boomerang'ing for a couple of weeks myself! Looks and plays amazingly on a RGB monitor, unreal is more like it.

My arm is burning out on me, I can only manage a 296 hit combo! But I will keep playing untill my arm falls off, this game is just that fun!

Me too. I manage around a 300-400 hit combo on easy 😛 Got a pic of your setup? I'm interested in the quality... :bow

I'm sorry to raise a dead thread, but it seems like a good place for both of my questions!

I guess you have to use CRTs with things like the Saturn, since LCDs (which I will probably buy one of eventually) have native resolutions. Is that correct?

Also, I've purchased Street Fighter Alpha 2 in an attempt to get into Saturn beat-'em-ups and think that I will eventually purchase Zero 3 if I really like it. Is Z3 Japan-only or am I just not searching well enough?

Street Fighter Zero 3 is japan only, but I highly recommend it.

A guest post?!?

Ahem . . . On topic, I have recently ordered Zero 3, and am looking forward to playing it. : )

A guest post?!?

Nah, just some fallout from the weekend's shenanigans.

Many years ago (before Youtube), I had created a cdrom collector's guide for the Sega Satun which previewed over 160 of the best games I had played for the system. This is available now as a free download, if anyone's interested: www.SegaSaturnGuide.com

I had posted a topic on this once, but I think it is now long gone.

Why not just call it the "Most expensive games" list...damn. 🙁

Bug! seriously needs to be put back into this list ASAP (Bug Too! for that matter.) One of the best games on the system! Shame on whoever decided to take it off!

Daytona Circuit Edition needs to be on there before Touring Car.

And Wipeout 2097 is a far better game than Manx TT.

Otherwise, it's a good list.

Also I'd probably take off Bug! I had it when I first got a Saturn in '96 and found it to be repetitive and boring. I guess it just wasn't the game I was hoping it would be.

I'm not a fan of Bug! either. I can understand people appreciate it for what it is, but it hardly belongs on a "best of Saturn" list.
