Sega Rally Championship - such an addictive racer, I used to go round and round a track trying to beat my best lap times.

Guardian Heroes - great beat'em up, had everything - fun combo system, cool characters, multiple paths, multiple endings, battle mode where you can use enemies that you had fought etc!!

Fighters Megamix - I got my Saturn along with this game when it came out, very fun 3D fighter - tons of characters, moves and secrets.

Christmas Nights - I think I played this more than Nights, loved all the secrets and easter egg stuff.

Sonic R - I mainly remember this for the wow factor, it was the prettiest Saturn game I owned and a lot of fun.

And a few others too, too many I think :)

One of these days I will actually play Christmas Nights.

i never much got into Sonic R, but I'm giving it another try via Sonic Gems on my Gamecube :D
The controlls seem a little weirder with the analoge stick, however. I guess it's because Sonic doesn't handle the same as normal race cars in other racing games.

I remember spending hours playing Sega Rally Championship. I still play that game every so often. Albert Odyssey is one of my favorite RPG's of all time. I just recently played and beat that game a couple of weeks ago and it reminded me of how fun it was when I first played it. I'm also a big fan of the Virtua Fighter series of games. If you guys haven't played Darius Gaiden, you should really give it a try. It's a very good side-scrolling shooter with great graphics and an amazing soundtrack.

Thunder Force V - Gives a brutal wedgie to the PS version. And beats it up during recess too. (Ô_ô)
Soukyugurentai
Guardian Heroes
Dodonpachi
Samurai Spirits 3
Bulk Slash - I REALLY like this game, man. (Robocop 2 reference there)
Night Warriors
Vampire Savior
Cotton Boomerang
Silhouette Mirage
In the Hunt - Reminds me a lot of Metal Slug. The slowdown doesn't really bother me.
Galactic Attack
Baroque - Freaky 1st person dungeon crawler. Weird as hell... Recommended... sort of. (@_@)
Panzer Dragoon
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
Dezamon 2 - Lotsa fun to just tinker around with... and I like the music to the Daioh P! game. (^_^)
Marvel Superheroes vs Streetfighter

...and I guess Darius Gaiden was pretty good too, although it is incredibly frustrating sometimes.

..and Wachenröder deserves a mention, even if it is a little rough around the edges. (^_^)

Out Run
NiGHTS/Christmas NiGHTS too!
Sengoku 2
Albert Odyssey (still playing through that one)


Never had a chance to play metal slug or the other ram cart games though... I'm sure some of those would be favorites.

I like Die Hard Arcade for being my first 'pressing the button at the right moment' kind of game.

The shmups are all great, for the most part. There's an RPG I really like, too..you go around in first person, it's pretty nifty.

There were plenty of good games for the Saturn, here are some of my favorite:

Guardian Heroes - Side scrolling beat'em up/RPG gaming goodness!
Panzer Dragoon Saga - The best RPG of it's time and still one of the best RPG.
Iron Storm - Turn based strategy at it's greatest!
Dragon Force - RPG with epic battles and massive replayability!
Fire Pro Wrestling S 6 Man Scramble - The Best wrestling game... EVER!
Sega Rally Championship - Great racing game!
Daytona: Championship Edition - I liked racing games.
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo - SF meets Tetris! Puzzle fighter goodness!
Super Bomberman - The most people played at one time: 7
Power Slave - First person Egyptian themed game that pushed the limits of the Saturn!
Duke Nukem - I played it for the hidden game Tank Wars 2!
Crusader No Remorse - Just kidding, I bought it at the end of Saturn's life for $4 bucks but never had the chance to play it. Is this game any fun?

Hmm... that's all I can remember for now. More later if I've forgotten a title
=====================
I rather be playing video games.
