SEGA Saturn -- simple yet elegant

Post by xan_racketBOY_fan »

Is it me, or is the Saturn just a gorgeous-looking system? Venus herself would be jealous SEGA didn't name a console after her.

Couldn't help but notice while dusting :P

The lines on the system make it gorgeous. Also, the system is elegant in engineering, too; the system is almost impossible to make overheat, and it doesn't even have a fan!

I am brand new to the Saturn having and I am quite smitten.

I especially love the ease of access for the action replay.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Definitely the coolest game system ever IMO. Well, coolest looking :P I actually think the model 1 looks slightly better but it can't be modded very easily >_> Heheh XD

I also really like the way the 3DO looks (the motor tray one). Total beast.
Going through deleting inactive accounts of mine as a security precaution. No hard feelings, but admins, if it is possible to delete this account, please do so. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, sometimes I'll be looking at it from my couch and I can't see it. It's like a Ninja. Sega Saturn Forever.

The one I was given the other day looks like the cartridge slot has never been touched. I figure I put the action replay in and never take it out again - should be a-okay.

I was never aware of the Saturn's cart slot issue. I only bought the system a couple of weeks ago and it came with a GameShark. Never had an interest in these type of add-ons, but it has 4megs of extra backup memory. I haven't gotten it to work yet ... I'm a little worried something might be wrong with the cart slot.

The original Saturn is just sexy, in my opinion. The model 2 with the round buttons doesn't even come close.

I prefer this one over the western released black Saturn.

Wedge a q-tip in between the back of the cartridge and the top of the slot. It should put the card forward enough to make the connection. Works for me almost every time.

One of the best looking and most durable CD based 90s systems. I'll never give mine up.
