The game I regret missing out on the most was Panza Dragoon Saga. I got the first disk demo CD from the Official Saturn Magazine in the UK but was only young at the time of the games release and had no money to buy it. I saw it in a few local game shops and as soon as I did gather together enough change it seemed to have vanished.

You look it up on e-bay now and people are selling the game for about £100! Damnit!

I forgot to list a certain game. Today I broke out my crappy PlayStation system and played a game by Taito called " Raystorm" . It was kind of cool, albeit incredibly slow. Then I remembered that it' s the sequel to another Taito game: Layer Section!

So I busted out my copy of Layer Section (Galactic Attack in da Statez) nd popped it into my Saturn. This game DESTROYS Raystorm! The entire game is one continuous screen, never stopping to load and kicking much ass. I can' t get past the boss of stage 6. One of the better vertical shooters for the Saturn and even better when you tip your TV onto its side to play like the arcade version. The music is pretty cool as well, though not mindblowing (better than anything that guy who composed Gradius V, Radiant Silvergun, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Soukyugurentai has ever done).

Layer Section AKA Galactic Attack kicks ass! The Saturn ownz you.

Athtlete Kings is a conversion of the arcade game with the same name.
It' s like Track' n field by Konami, a decathlon where you have to press many time the same button very fast. Beautiful game

Exhumed is on of the best FPS on Sega saturn, with stunning light effects, egyptian locations etc.

Henry Exlporer is a game like Virtua Cop

Grid Runner, i don' t remenber, but i think it was a remake of a game with the same name.

Bye

DeCathlete kicks ass!

Exhumed sounds like PowerSlave. That game kicked ass. It used the ANALog control. Plus is had a cool voice for the opening narration.

My sister and I had so much fun on Athlete Kings. But instead of doing everything properly to start with, because we both sucked at it, we used to have little competitions with each other to see who could do the worst or most painful/funny looking effort. Ahh, good times.

I love the character who says " What have I done?!" when he fails and " Somebody stop meeeeeee!!!!" when he succeeds.

Ooh I always wanted to play Clockwork knight I & II, and Nights man. What' s up with Nights? Howcome they dont bring that back? I heard so many things about it and how soo many people like it.. I don' t get why Sega just doesnt bring it back? is it possible for it to come back on the GBA?

Nights is a masterpiece of a game. It' s probably the last truly great game to come from the Sonic Team and has achieved somewhat of a cult status. I guess Yuji Naka doesn' t want to make another Nights just because he doesn' t want to ruin the memory of the original. It’s just odd how they have a character like Nights which they won’t let grace a console even though fans are begging to see him, while they’ll happily try and shove Sonic down our throats all of a sudden.

There is a Nights mini game for the GBA. Just a one level fly through but I haven’t a clue how to get it.

I need to replay this game someday soon as I just wasn' t ' feeling it' when I rented it from Blockbuster Video ages ago. Maybe I was PMSing, lol, cause I generally love all shooters (classic definition).

Oh I see whatabout_paul. Even though i have never played Nights it' s strange because I want more of it. But that' s funny how you said shoving Sonic down our throats. Hehe.

THe only games I remember playing , which I liked:

Mystaria -pretty cool for the time
Sega Rally -eh..whatever
Shining Force 3 -yea it was enough to keep me entertained


Honestly at the time I was just getting into Major Mud, and it was dominating my freetime.:) I sold my Saturn for much less then I paid for it because I was not pleased with the game selection.

The Nights demo at Sears is what sold me on the system. I tried returning it when the N64 game out but the bastards wouldnt take it back. Stupid Saturnk, I even put the sticker in my back window..i was the laughing stock of everyone I suppose. Too bad Sega was just so stupid. (and is still)
