Sharon Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 I actually really enjoyed that game system and titles like "Virtua Fight 2" and "Duke Nukem". It's a shame that the pirates killed the system. I heard that it was super easy to get pirated versions of the games. Do you remember this console? Did you own one? What were your favorite games?
killamch89 Posted September 22, 2021 Posted September 22, 2021 I do - I used to play Mortal Kombat on it and some other games. It was my second or third console as a kid and I also remember the Sonic games - good times... Sharon 1
Sharon Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 Of course Sonic! Sometimes I wish I kept the console just for nostalgia. :)
Justin11 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 I don't know about the Saturn version, I know about the old and outdated Sega console, which existed in the 90s before PS1 even existed.

Sharon Posted October 4, 2021 Author Posted October 4, 2021 I wasn't aware that Killer Instinct was available for the Sega Saturn. I remember it being one of my favorite games for the SNES (the black tape)! I'm pretty sure that game gave anger management issues. lol

It's never gotten me angry but then again I don't really get angry when playing any games.
PGen98 Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Remember it? I absolutely adore it! I still break it out every now and then and play a little Clockwork Knights, Three Dirty Dwarves, Shining Force III, Nights into Dreams and more. So many great games for the Saturn, it was so vastly underrated.

If it's the old Sega console in the past then I'll simply say I've played it's games.

It was well ahead of its' time, but it was so poorly marketed and support from third party developers was next to non-existent, so it failed outside of Japan pretty quickly. In Japan it lived on for a good 10 years, had some amazing games developed for it, as well! Head_Hunter 1

Thanks a lot for taking your time to narrate it's brief history which existed far back in 1996, and was poorly marketed. If you can send me the trailer here I'll be happy to learn how Saturn works back then. Thank you.

Is it still possible to purchase this console at any online store outlet? PGen98 1
Oblivion Knight Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 I never owned a Sega Saturn, and nor have I ever really played on one.. Back then I still relied on my parents for my gaming purchases, and we decided to go for a PlayStation instead. I regret nothing! 😝 PGen98 1

You can find them on eBay, but brand new ones are extremely rare and expensive now.
