Yup - received my copy last weekend.

It’s really good with lots to unlock.

Yes - that was kind of the point I was making - the narrative is that it was much more expensive than PlayStation but in reality the price differential (once you factored in the cost of a game and...

I was a Saturn owner through-out the generation and still am and I adore the system but it is clear that it had a lot of flaws as a piece of design however partly this was because there were "better"...

I always find threads like this interesting but ultimately I'm not sure what is being proved. Obviously polygon numbers help us to see the capability of a piece of hardware to an extent but equally...

No lightgun sequences. Combat is menu driven (i.e. select a choice from a limited selection)

So glad I picked up Mega CD games at the time it was out. Prices are bonkers!

I liked Rise of the...

I would imagine it was because I believe this game was called Gotha II (or Gotha 2) in Japan which may explain the OTH that you are remembering

Quick look found these guides that may be useful?

Fuse Replacement and Repair: Mega CD 2 -...

The most common issue I've come across on the Mega CD is the Fuse blowing (similar to the SNES). This is a simple and cheap repair and easy to diagnose (check for continuity across the fuse)....

Not sure if this is what you are after but there are previews and in-depth articles on Mass Destruction in the UK's Sega Saturn Magazine:

They didn’t port Daytona 2 so no way this was getting ported.

At the end of the day resources are limited and they can only work on so many things. If a team is porting Planet Harriers then they...

Those were the days. I picked up Keio Flying Squadron for £4.97 in Beatties when the system was still a going concern. Once they started trying to clear stock as you say the games were practically...

I must have had some Gillian style amnesia there as a I knew that Space cobra Adventure got an extremely limited release in Europe (I actually have a PAL copy as well as my original US copy) However...

Number of reasons I suspect:
Kojima productions are both simultaneously familiar as they wear his influences on their sleeves e.g. Terminator, Blade Runner, Invasion of the Body Snatchers in the...

Looking good. Looks really responsive.

I remember backing the Dreamcast version on the original Kickstarter

In terms of PS1/Saturn/N64 games that could pass for early DC games:

Turok 3 had a lot of stuff going on for an N64 game. The late Rare stuff (Conker, Banjo Tooie) and a few of the sports games...

Always interesting to see actual numbers although it can cloud the judgement. From what I recall the fighters in MK Gold had something like 3000+ polygons which I believe is more than the fighters in...

If there is 256kb easily accessible by the Megadrive/Genesis might it be more feasible to port smaller Master System games?

Wouldn't 1 Megabit and 2 Megabit games fit in this?

The...

Following the bonus footage of Saturn ShenMue unlocked at the end of The second game I would love it if upon completion of 3 it unlocks beta footage of either Saturn Virtua Fighter 3 or Dreamcast...

F1 97 by the same team is fantastic too. Higher red smoother graphics and I believe split screen for 2 players.

V Rally is an interesting one. If I remember correctly for the Platinum release they...

Oops didn't see Anarchy in the Nippon already in the list. Thanks for the update

Yup I think you are right. Think I was just thinking of Tohshinden URA as it was hi res (or mid res maybe) Still hopefully the other two Winter Heat and Anarchy in the Nippon will get added to the...

Not sure if the frame rate for the following Saturn games but seem to remember (hazy memory in my old age) them being mentioned previously so might be worth checking out

Anarchy in the Nippon...

Car and Driver Presents: Grand Tour Racing '98 (1997) was also known as Total Drivin' and is a cracking game. It had a sequel or pseudo sequel called Max Power Racing (or C3 Racing) which I also...

Enjoy this show too - keep up the good work.

Just as an aside - Altered Beast gets a lot of flak these days and in some ways it is fair enough. The game was very much of its time and is fairly...

Seems a lot of misinformation about how common RGB was in Europe back in the day. I can only speak for the UK but it was certainly commonly available on consumer TV's at the time (via a Scart...
