SEGA SATURN - the discussion thread

unless you want to play CD-R rip you don't need no stinkin' chip...

alright, ive bid on a guardian heroes on ebay, pal version, whats it usually go for?

anyone know what i should pay for a nights+3d pad sealed?

1. Guardian Heroes usually goes for around ?20-?30 depending on condition. A minty mint one will go slightly higher.

2. Check if it's really sealed. Many of these sealed items are just shop reseals.

sorry if this has been asked before, i was wondering where is the best place to get a modded uk saturn? my old pal saturn broke some time ago with dark grey smoke coming out

anyway cheers

[dj898]

could be just fuse on PSU board...

I found the same problem for aquiring a modded saturn so i just decided to do it myself, mod should be here tommorrow ill let you know how easy it is.

YO
i just picked up a 'this is cool' transparent black saturn and i'm SOOO pumped. i have my policenauts copy ready, but i wanna pick up some others.

what are some of the best shmups for saturn(besides the ripoff radiant silvergun)? i'm looking at layer section 1 and dodonpachi. and there's this one shootemup that ends with ganen tai or something like that that looks really cool, anyone know what i'm talking about?

anyway, it's nice to finally join the saturn club(never owned one before).

latterr!

Hi,

I can vouch for Layer Section, I've been playing it recently and whilst it's a no frills shooter, it really is very good. Graphics are lush too

Sounds like you mean Soukyugurentai by Raizing/8ing. It has great graphics & music, though I find the gameplay a bit ho-hum. Battle Garegga is by the same people and much better, and dearer...

I don't know you know. I think Soukyugurentai is better than Battle Garegga. Layer Section is old but still a classic as is Darius Gaiden. Both can be had for pennies as well

Battle Garegga is better than Soukyu. Not by much, but it is better.

Nah its not. Souky is the best shooter ever made Period.
The 2nd and 3rd levels kicks ass, much like it music score. In saying Garegga?s 3rd Level (factory) just rocks, especially with that music pumping in the background.

But Souky is better

Spot on too. One of the most overlooked Saturn shooter there is. It's Probably the most balanced shooter every created. Another Saturn gem that got Slaughter in the press (Think only Gamefan gave this a good review). With the EDGE trademark trick of playing for all of 5 minutes

[junker]

ah thanks! Soukyugurentai it is.
all thanks to your retrocore video, yakumo *thumbs up*

edit:
why is there a version with electronic arts on the cover and a diff. back cover?

[Kubrick]

One is the re-release version. It has a white border around the artwork on the front cover. Also includes a Battle Garegga demo.
