I picked up a Saturn for an unbeatable price (the seller is a fucking moron) and am waiting for my Saroo to arrive. I'm compiling a list of games to play on this:
>Panzer Dragoon Zwei
>Deep Fear
>Princess Crown
>Burning Rangers
>Enemy Zero
>Baroque
>Powerslave
>Policenauts
>Die Hard Arcade
>Dungeons and Dragons
>Thunder Force V
>Linkle Liver Story
>Wolf Fang
>Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru
>Grandia
What else should I check out?
>>
>>12809947
You should have got one of the Satiator clones from AliExpress instead of a Saroo.
>>
>>12809947
Guardian Heroes & Waku Waku 7 to play with friends.
>>
>>12809958
The Satiators are way more expensive. If there's any game that doesn't run well off a Saroo I can burn the game to a CD.
>>
Shining Force III
Shining the Holy Ark
Vandal Hearts

Powerslave
Gungriffon 1 + 2
Mobile Suit Gundam Gaiden 1/2/3

Sega Rally
Choro Q Park (no translation but shouldn't be too hard to understand the menus)

Elevator Action Returns
Bug!
Astal
Shinobi X
Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru
Willy Wombat

Legend of Oasis
Princess Crown

Sakura Wars 1+2
>>
>>12809973
The difference is only like $25 unless you're buying one of the bottom of the barrel Saroos built with scrap (usually advertised as 'non-Elite'). There are also Fenrir clones that are basically the same price as the Saroo and again have much better compatibility.
>>
>>12809967
Guardian heroes is trash and waku waku is a bad port
>>
>>12809993
Yeah fuck this I'm relisting the Saturn and emulating
>>
>>12809947
I prefer to tell you beforehand

You will be disappointed, the Saturn library is extremely mid especially if you count only exclusive games

The only Saturn exclusive that i consider truly great is night into dreams, the other stuff is either geniunly bad games (Guardian heroes,Panzer dragoon saga,Sakura taisen...), okayish stuff (Dark savior,magic rayheart,Taromaru...) or geniunly good but heavily flawed (Dragon force, Shining force 3...)
>>
>>12810008
Well that's just like, your opinion, man.

>>12809947
College Slam is a lot of fun even if you don't like basketball.

>(the seller is a fucking moron)
>says a fucking moron that BOUGHT a saturn well above market rates
lmao. my sides. morons are amazing. they don't even know they're morons. if you paid more than $50 US for it then you are king of the fucking morons.
>>

>BOUGHT a saturn well above market rates
You don't even know how much I got it for, retard.

My favorite part of this game is how it looks great in still screenshots, but when you play it you wonder how that can be since the game is garbage.
>>
>>12810316
What an inane opinion; Bulk Slash is an immensely fun action game that looks great. Walking around, then flying around the maps taking out enemies is a joy.

OP should consider the nice fan dub of the game floating around if he wants to play it - it's not hugely necessary but the comm link girls constantly tell you if the main enemy targets are to the left, right, or straight ahead so you just need to memorize what those Japanese words sound like.
>>
>>12810343
>action game that looks great
The 2D sprites in the 3D world look horrific. Really the only saving grace is the animated cut scenes, but outside of that the game looks like doodoo.
>>
>>12809947
Unbeatable price? They're like $100 AUD from ebay, how poor are you that it even matters?
>>
>>12809947
Darius Gaiden

Great shmup with a fantastic soundtrack
>>
>>12810363
The brightly colored sprites look really nice actually.
>>
>>12809947
burning rangers sucks cock
>>
>>12810602
For the price it's going for, I sure hope it does and makes sandwiches too.
>>
>>12809947
grandia is really great, i like keio flying squadron and cleopatra fortune also. great console i really like it not used it much though.
>>
>>12809947
The Lunar games Silver Star Story and Eternal Blue

Play Godzilla, it's fucking awesome. It's like Advance Wars but it's fucking Godzilla and they use scenes from the movies as cutscenes. It's fucking awesome.

Also check out Virtual On, Sakura Taisen,the Bomberman games, and the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast.
>>
>>12809947
I recommend you toss that shit out. Seller knew what he was doing. Probably burned some sage after you left.

I stopped liking the Sega Saturn now

>You should have got one of the Satiator clones from AliExpress instead of a Saroo.

Considering this choice, curious why you prefer Satiator. Not worried about price difference, only performance, compatibility, & ease of use. Latest FW update for Saroo seems to have fixed a lot of issues (just what I've seen on yt and googling).
>>
>>12811212
You spelled Godzilla wrong
>>
>>12811230
Not that anon but I have a real Satiator and it doesnt have the issues that saroo has + it won't destroy your pin slot.
>>
>>12811243
No? I meant SRW F on Saturn. Better music than on ps1
Saturn:
https://youtu.be/O6pAgKL52Os?si=QZbR8hc986_Cqa19
This is one of the most intense track reserved for critical moments during the game.
This is how they made it sound on PS1 fir whatever reason:

neither?

I wouldn't call Amok "unique", there was a niche of vehicule/mech based first and third person shooters at the time, and Amok belongs in that niche in the 'arcade' side of the niche rather than in the 'simulation' side. Even on Saturn there are several games like that like Krazy Ivan or Machine Head, the only difference is Amok is third person, so it's more like a western version of Bulk Slash really.

Putting "Soul Hackers", "Shining the Holy Ark", "Die Hard Arcade" and "Gun Griffon 2" in the same "decent quality" as some of the shit you have in that category also really irks me something fierce

>>12811282
>>12811285
Congo is the worst game I've played on Saturn. I have played more than 70.
>>
>>12811719
Oh, there's much much worse
(and no, i'm not jumping the avgn train, i actually played this as a teen and it was unbearable)

70 is a solid number for the sega saturn library. What games would you recommend?
>>
>>12811840
The Crow is a worse game yes , but iirc I played (some of) it on PSX

I already made my recommendations >>12809975
though I left out some games already mentionned and non translated RPGs (Devil Summoner, Soul Hackers and Tengai Makyou)

My personal top ten would look something like this:
Grandia
Shining Force III
Shining the Holy Ark
Tengai Makyou - Daiyon no Mokushiroku - The Apocalypse IV
Soul Hackers
GunGriffon 2
Powerslave
Vandal Hearts
Resident Evil
Die Hard Arcade

>>12811282 here, forgot to post part of my collection (misses a lot of shit)
>>12811843
>>12811285
>>12809947
This is part of my physical collection (most is closed in boxes), also i'm European, so there wasn't much available compared to US/JP.
>>
>>12811843
Powerslave kicked ass, but i played it originally on PSX and honestly i don't regret it.
Die Hard Arcade is one of my top 5 beat em up games, finished in co-op with my exgf it was just stellar.
>>
>>12811858
Didn't Europe as a whole get more Saturn releases than the US?
I realize this is kinda cheating as there was no such thing as "European releases" (for instance I don't think DBZ was released in the UK and on the contrary there might be games only released in the UK)

>>12811863
I like the Saturn version the best personally
>>
>>12811840
Holy shit this is real… that’s crazy they made a beat em up out of a crow movie.
>>
>>12810037
Nta but how much did you get it for?
>>
>>12811879
Nope, US received more. Nothing compared to Japan tho, Saturn was a blast in japan
>>12811949
Yep and it was unbearable
