Title: So, I got a Sega Saturn a couple of weeks ago.
Post by: Slayer on December 27, 2008, 07:26:57 AM

I wanted to know if you guys have any recommendations for Sega Saturn games that I should buy.
I already have:
Panzer Dragoon ($14)
Virtual-On ($10)
Burning Rangers ($50)
All with their cases and manuals.
I'm thinking that I should buy Panzer Dragoon Zwei and NiGHTS into Dreams, but I'm also looking for a good price on Guardian Heroes. Any other games you guys think I should check out?

One major thing you need is a Pro Action Replay 4MB Cart, lets you play import games on your system. Now some imports can be pricey, but some aren't too bad when it comes to cost.

The only American Saturn game I can recommend is Darius Gaiden, I have it, but all the other games I own for the system are imports.

Every Saturn NEEDS -- I repeat -- NEEDS Panzer Dragoon Saga. It's quite simply one of the finest RPGs ever conceived, and there's still nothing quite like it.

also....

No... that's it.

Oh wait... Legend of Oasis is a nice Zelda style game, too.

Yeah, that's the bad part :|

But if you can find it by... other means... no one should miss out on this excellent quest.

Ah, I see what you mean. But where do I get a time machine to 1998?

I second Legend of Oasis.
Great game with a sprawling world. Just remember that the goal is to NOT level up a lot.

Out of the recomendations, I have bought Darius Gaiden (it was REALLY cheap, but a great retro-style game). Legend of Oasis and the Alien fps will probably be my next games.

X-Men vs. Street Fighter is great, and you can't go wrong with Dragon Force (if you can find it at decent price :) )

Congratulations on getting Gaiden, it's quite a beautiful game, and the music done by Taito's inhouse band Zuntata,is simply marvelous.

my favorite games for the saturn are keio 2, magic knight rayearth, and guardian heroes. astals pretty good too!, cheap, and damn beautiful!

funny thing is ive had panzer dragoon saga for many years now, never played it more than 5 minutes- at the time i couldnt get past the brown muddy graphics, and weird feel. now that i can appreciate it as it should be, i think ill give it a playthrough!

"In the Hunt" is a fun shooter featuring the same sprite artist as the Metal Slug games. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8184

And "Dungeons & Dragons Collection" is a great compilation of the arcade games if you don't mind importing.
