Ah, this is the kind of thread that made me fall in love with Racketboy. Puyo Puyo - Final of Puyo Puyo This might be my favorite video game track on any console -- it's at least my favorite archetypical "video game-sounding" track. It exists on the Super Famicom as well, but it's plagued ...

Come cool info there, I did not know Soukyugurentai behaved differently on a model 1 Saturn, nor that that was the reason for a re-release. I still love the original release, I just think its so charming that they actually had the game recognize the region and switch to terra driver, as if they act...

I heard that Metal Slug on the Saturn will not work with the Skeleton Clear model, it has no issues on mine was wondering if anyone else has the clear saturn and noticed issues A.) Those are the coolest looking things ever, congratulations on owning one. I'm happy just to have a skeleton model cont...

Yick, that sucks. Make sure you thoroughly disinfect your backups so you don't re-infect your new machine. Fortunately, not a ton of modern viruses work that way, but yeah, find someone with solid antivirus and have them check out your backups. Thanks for the advice! Took my external hard-drive wit...

Stage 2 Introductory Text

情報部の奴らめ、いい加減なこと
言いやがって。 何が大した敵は
いないだ。 とんでもねえ奴が一匹
いやがったじゃねえか。 俺たち
だったからよかったものの、他の
部隊だったら全滅だったぜ。

思わぬ大物を撃破した俺たちの次
の目標は、敵前線基地、通称ビッ
グウォール。

ここは山岳地の上に造られた難攻
不落の自然の要塞らしいが、今度
ばかりは相手が悪いぜ。 まあ運が
なかったと思って諦めるんだな。

My biggest draw is the sheer number of Saturn RPGs/Strat-RPGs that were exclusive to the Saturn or the JP versions of some games that seem to be superior than their PSX counterparts. Exactly this. So many games I'm holding off on because the Saturn version is apparently superior (ex. Grandia, Langr...

My local video game store somehow ended up with a pristine, but non-working Japanese Model 1 Sega Saturn.... Since I had sold my original US Saturn and switched to a Model 2 JP Saturn last year, I'd been having to skip out on the incompatible games that I owned for it (Space Harrier, OutRun, King o...

My local video game store somehow ended up with a pristine, but non-working Japanese Model 1 Sega Saturn for $20 and a copy of Batsugun that they were selling for $120 (it had been marked down three times... I guess there aren't a lot of big shmup fans in my area). I've gotten extremely good at repa...

Quick update:

I've been basically barred from using my PC for the past week or so due to a nasty, nasty virus. I'm in the process of backing up files so that I can reformat, so I'll be able to pick this back up once that's all dealt with. Sorry for the delay, folks!
