@@RetroGamesBoy78 Nostalgia Addict1978 is most likely a Troll. He's looking for attention because nobody wants anything to do with his basement dwelling ass.
Nostalgia Addict1978 I have 170 titles in my Megadrive collection and approximately 250 on the Master System, Game Gear, Saturn & Dreamcast combined so i think that says a lot about the strength of the Genesis games library.
I never played it but have seen videos and it does indeed look awesome. I believe that it was included in that PS2 version of Taito’s greatest hits , but was ported poorly so the Sega Saturn is the best way to go.
The Saturn is so underrated. It was the golden age of games, so even the least successful of the main systems still had a huge catalog of very good games. A Saturn-mini cannot come soon enough!
I had a Saturn and I half agree. See, I got it brand new from SEARS for $40. so it was a steal. BUT at the official launch...$600 with very few games was a rip off
@@calebpriceproductions2412 The Saturn was launched at $399. Sure, a PS1 was 100 bucks cheaper, but needed a memory card and didn't come with a game. The Saturn launched with 6 available games (one of which came with the console), compared to the PS1's 12; sure, not great, but compare that to the N64's two launch titles lol.
Scorcher (same game studio as AMOK) is one of the best underrated unnoticed racing games. It is challenging, fun, has a great soundtrack and gives you a real sense of speed (especially when played in the first person viewpoint). Some of the most impressive 3d graphics on the system in my opinion.
I love the Sega Saturn so much! I grew up with the psx but now as an adult I managed to play the saturn and explore it's library, I am impressed on how many hidden gems there are
Mystaria for me was one of those games that you rented at Blockbuster and liked it so much that you kept on renting it again and again, to the point that it would have been cheaper to just buy the damn thing!
Great, honest, informative video! Your episode notes are always fantastic. I was in middle school when the Saturn came out and I love learning all these details about the era that I was slightly too young/broke to be able to delve deeply into at the time
Idk bro. Ur fast becoming my fav RU-vid host. The intro, the name, the calm and articulate, but frank approach. Just does it for me. Plus I've NEVER played the Saturn or Sega CD. They r just curious to me. Thumbs up on the content bro
As a newish Saturn owner, I very much appreciated this list. :) I'd probably try out Mystaria/Blazing Heroes if Fire Emblem Three Houses wasn't coming out in a few weeks...
Amok is such an awesome game for the saturn, I invested a lot of time and effort to really learn that game and it just got better and better. Pocket Fighter is another stand out game for me, I would play this game for hours back the the day.
I'm a Spanish guy who bought the PS1 instead. Not very much into fighting games, space shooters or shinobi style games, so I still prefer PS1 because of MGS, Silent Hill, Winning Eleven, Abe's Oddysee and others. However, as a fan of good FPS and good games in general, I love the Saturn: Quake, a decent version of Duke Nukem, Guardian Heroes, awesome 2D graphics and some cool Sega arcade conversions. I was a lot into 3D games in 1997-1999, but now I see that many genres work much better in 2D: fighting games, beat em ups, graphic adventures... In the year 2000, we didn't understand the tragedy that we were living: 2D games, Capcom and Sega arcade games... it all ended there. I wish arcades and offline multiplayer were still popular, I hate online gaming. Let's hope the Intellivision Amico brings back some of that.
@Sega Lord X Suggestions for new videos: - The Sony Playstation, The Nintendo 64, The PS2. - My perception of the golden era of computer games (MSDOS, C64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga...) - How 3D has ruined many game genres - Discovering the catalogue of an unknown system (the ones you have not tried: ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC...)
Love this video, SLX 🖒🖒 Reminds me of your early video's on your original channel where you took a handful of Saturn games no one was talking about and showcased them 😎 Those early vids have a special place in my heart, so seeing a new video in similiar fashion but with your current high standard and polish is a real thrill! Looking forward to part 2, hope it becomes a series 😁
My Saturn is not running well... sadly. I hope i can fix it. This is my OG Saturn. I have another one a Japan Saturn. But the PAL Saturn was and is my favorite Console and the Dreamcast of course. Thank you for those Amazing videos and the love you give for our Favorite Console.
samghost13 I know the feeling. My Saturn mostly still works but it is almost 25 years old so it has its problems reading disks sometimes.the upcoming Polymega will play Saturn games.
Nothing like a SLX Saturn video on a Sunday. There are some great games on the list, specially Decathlete, Pocket Fighter and F1 Challenge. I haven't played F1 Challenge, but it seems to run really smooth, I even dare to say that looks like pretty solid 60 fps. I'll try it immediately. Thanks a lot for the tip. More videos on this same topic will be welcomed, without a doubt.
I've been a fan of the Lode Runner games since the days of the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore 64. The Saturn version is actually *really* good with tons of great puzzles and gameplay. I'm glad they kept the similar, simple graphic style. It still feels like the classic games, just nicer.
I’m liking this channel more & more. I was more of a Nintendo kid but I did enjoy a good Genesis game. Very interesting stuff here about all the games I missed out on...
Great videos! I now own a Genesis / 32X, Japanese Saturn, and a Dreamcast! Love them! I missed out on the Sega CD and the Saturn back in the 90’s. Back then I had to divide my time and money into the Genesis, NES, SNES, and 3DO. Then eventually I moved on to Xbox and PlayStation, etc.
Out of the 10 games I only own pocket fighter. Although I’ve rented Amok before. For a future episode I would add Solar Eclipse, which was a Saturn exclusive, and the best game in the series. Not many talk about it though.
Nice video, had no idea Load Runner The Legend Returns was on Saturn. I got a ton of SEGA Saturn Games.I have Command and Conquer on SEGA Saturn. Later, my family upgraded to the PC version. Even though people trash, Mr Bones, I rather like it for it's unique style.
honestly, the entire Japanese and Euro library has a lot of overlooked exclusives on the system. even the very last game released for the Saturn is overlooked.
Another excellent video. I feel like Cyberbots could be another worthy addition to this list as it goes for so cheap and is one of the best collector editions in the Sega Saturn library.
I wish they had released both Cyberbots and the original beat ‘em up arcade game that all the characters came from, that never got a home console release and it was so much fun, I would’ve loved to have both on my Saturn!
i was gonna buy a Japanese white sega saturn this weekend but life happens and now i have just sit and wait until i get another opportunity to purchase it ..and by opportunity i mean cash ..who would have thought being a responsible adult would be a pain in the ass lol
Some correction about Lode Runner The Legend Returns : the game was made by Presage Software and released in 1994 on Dos by Sierra and later repackaged on CD with digital soundtrack the year later. The same year was released Lode Runner Mad Monk Revenge, a enhanced port coded 32 bits (so it can run on 64 bit OS) with three new environments. Lode Runner is fairly popular in Japan and The Legends Returns was ported by Patra. There is an extension on Saturn called Lode Runner Extra. Those games were also released on the Playstation.
I never realized Zero Divide was a sequel and not a port, looks way better than the original. My future suggestions: Prikura Daisakusen, Keio Yugekitai, Steamgear Mash, Image Fight & X-Multiply, Gussun Oyoyo S, and Assault Suit Leynos 2. I'm curious about Reverthion, ever try it?
Gotta love Lost Vikings, glad that I didn't have to pay much for it. I do also remember playing Amok in split screen co-op, never beat it though without cheating.
I passed on Blazing Heroes back in '95 because it looked so ugly . I picked it up about ten years ago and had a blast finishing it. It's so fun! Also, AMOK has a killer soundtrack. Sometimes I pop in the disk just to hear the music. It's a fun game too.
I wish more people knew about Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru. I know it's rare as fuck, but it's such a unique and weird game that deserves a bigger following.
@10:45 ahhhhhh, Voxels ! Brings me back to games like Comanche : Maximum Overkill and the tank one, Armored Fist ? Interesting days for graphics evolution, different approaches, variety and exploration. 😌
I always find that I go back to playing Golden Axe: The Duel because it's so playable, graphics are fantastic and the perfect game for a quick blast. It's not the best one on one fighter, but damn enjoyable.
Watched the intro and was pumped to see RoboPit. Amazing pick for this video, spent a ton of hours building my robots only to get pummeled in the 40-50 range. Ever play Grid Runner? That game was awesome too.
Sega Lord X Jef Jansens remained a playable character in the Pal version of Decathlete or Athlete Kings as it was called, a far better name in my opinion.
Black Dawn personally reminds me of games like Extreme Assault for MS-DOS and the Comanche games, also on PC. Also, I played a demo of AMOK on PC and all I could remember was having to gun down a shark coming after me in one level. That and the fact it was an underwater 3D shooter.
Awesome video. I have Decathlete and Robopit and agree on your thoughts of those games. Now I gotta hunt down some of those others. That F1 game looks awesome. Wish they'd bring Indy 500 out on something! (as well as Scud Race, Daytona 2, Outrunners, etc).
Indy 500 was in development for the Saturn at some point. I don't know how far they got, but it'd be awesome for a playable release to pop up somewhere.
I bought Amok back then because it was one of the only 3D Saturn games with split screen 2 player mode. It turned out to be an awesome, bit tough game. I only beat it once, but it was great to beat that laat scorpion tank boss.
I HAD POCKET FIGHTER AS A KID, MY FRIENDS HATED IT AT FIRST BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTERS BEING CHIBI, BUT WHEN THEY PLAYED IT THEY LOVED IT JUST AS MUCH AS I DO. I HATE FIGHTER GAMES, BUT THIS ONE I LOVED BECAUSE OF SIMPLIFIED CONTROLS THAT LEVELED THE GROUND WITH MY FRIENDS WHO WERE CHAMPIONS OF HARD TO CONTROL FIGHTERS. MAN I LOVE THIS GAME.
Nice to see Mystaria get some recognition. Picked it up complete because it was dirt cheap at the time, and it was worth it. I hope to see Cyberbots, Fighters History Dynamite, or at least Groove on Fight in the next one.
I remember buying ZD for the Saturn when I bought Tekken 3 in Early March of 98. The price sticker on Tekken 3 was $80 but the store owner offered it to me for $70 since I always bought a good amount from him. I then asked him to throw in a new copy of Zero Divide for $100 total. He looked at me for a sec then said ok. Guess it wasn’t selling too well because a couple weeks later Zero Divide for the Saturn was on sale for $30. I felt it was a fair price.
They should have used the Saturn's higher resolution for Lode Runner to make it look more like the PC version. One of my favorite games as a kid. You could make your own levels!
I loved Back Dawn back in the day and I had Mystaria along with Decathlete we had great times trying to beat each others records in the events I had Pocket Fighter for the Pal Saturn but it didn't come with the cartridge
This channel is awesome, and this comes from someone who only bought Sony consoles when Sega was still making machines. It would be great to hear your opinion about the consoles that were competing with Sega, especially in the 32 bit era, but also in the 8 bit, 16 bit and 128 bit eras. What was your perception of the PS1 and N64 at the time and how has it changed? What about the PS2, were you hoping it would flop? It should make for a good video. Oh and, by the way, if you finally decide to make that video, perhaps you can also include computers as the competition! I'm interested in your opinion of the C64/Spectrum/MSX/Amstrad computers in the 8 bit era and the Amiga and PC systems in the 16 bit era. For me, 16 bit PCs were the best platform of all times. But hold on, the message is not over yet! I also wanted to mention that, as a PS1 owner, I don't think I would have changed my console for the Saturn, BUT there are so many amazing games, some of which I have discovered in your channel (Guardian Heroes, Quake, a real version of Duke Nukem 3D) that I probably wouldn't have minded to have a Saturn instead. I feel the same with the N64 due to the multiplayer games. The 32 bit era was the best for console gaming, IMHO. Keep up the good job, you deserve millions of views for each video! I hope you can achieve that soon!
19:54 I was expecting Bomberman characters as enemies, but there aren't any. I also noticed Hudson Soft wasn't credited, so it's likely why there are no Bomberman characters as enemies.
Cool video ! It's like you'll never run out of things to talk about the Saturn ;) On all these games you are showing, the only one I own is F-1 Challenge. It's pretty good ! It has the "Sega racing games" feel.
I traded my Genesis and Sega CD in at Babbages for a Saturn the second week after the surprise US release. Never regretted it, especially once I modified the drive door to open so I could swap a burned disc in.... Never even heard of that Zero Divide game, looks fun.
LOL Saturn's version of Robo Pit doesn't "hold up" to the PS1. It is actually one of the few games on the Saturn that actually **completely demolishes** its PS1 counterpart. On the Saturn it features better lighting, color have more Pop, the animations and camera movement are actually visibility more fluid and dynamic. And it actually plays better and feels more responsive overall.
Great info. Black dawn reminds me of a thunder blade sequel or something. Cool channel as I’ve been an avid fan for months. I will catch you on the next episode.
I wish you could do a feature on " Working Designs " ... They were the soul reason to have a sega CD and had a list of some of the best rated games for Sega.
The only one of these I have is Lost Vikings 2 and it really is an excellent game. Fun and challenging. I've always been a fan of Lode Runner so I need to get that one.
I had Athlete Kings when I had my Saturn for short time before getting a Playstation. I seriously missed it when I traded it in, one of my fave Saturn games alongside Sega Rally.
I remember playing a ton of Zero Divide and Zero Divide 2 on PS1! Went through Arcade with all the fighters. Also had a friend, who is heavily into robots and it was one of the games we went to for dumb fun.
Darklight conflict is one that you don't hear much about, although it might have another name in north America, break point tennis and wing arms are also pretty decent.
