The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Argonaut Software’s attempt at a 3D platformer on the Saturn is original enough to remain fun, despite suffering all the growing pains the genre endured during the 32-bit era. A finicky camera and tank controls are likely to turn some players away, but there’s enough quality here to occupy an afternoon for those willing to make the adjustment.
A European exclusive, Swagman presents fun and engaging platforming action that Saturn fans will appreciate. It’s not the best game out there, but it has enough variety and creativity to keep you playing. If you’re able to find a copy for less than its high asking price, Swagman is definitely a good game to add to your Saturn library.
Saturn’s final year saw some amazing games, including the long-awaited third installment in the beloved Shining Force series. Despite only releasing one of its three scenarios outside Japan, Sega and Camelot Software Planning managed to give fans an excellent 32-bit entry that remains a fan favorite to this day. This is not one to be missed.
Sonic and friends are off to the races in a game that’s fun but flawed. From its memorable presentation to its simple gameplay, Sonic R is a title that doesn’t do anything special but that can tend to grow on you if you give it a chance. Beyond its infamous soundtrack, however, its underachieved potential is what makes it memorable. Still, it is fun to run around for a while, especially with a friend.
Capcom’s survival horror legend tore its way onto the Saturn a year late but brought along some goodies to make up for its tardiness. The new Battle Mode and graphical touches enhanced an already solid game enough to warrant one more trip into the mansion.
