    Bomberman Fight was the isometric one, wasn't it? I'm trying to think of any of the subsequent Bomberman games used that viewpoint, since it tends to make really inefficient use of screen real estate. I'm cheerfully ignoring the Xbox 360 Bomberman.

    Yep, it was isometric. I dunno why anyone would pick that one over Saturn Bomberman, which is IMO the best game in the entire series.
    I don't recall any isometric ones except for that, kinda remembered the N64 one being isometric, but apparently not. Then again, that had circular bombs, wtf?

    Yeah, I liked it. It's not like I'd pick it over Saturn Bomberman, I just included it because it was a JPN exclusive, whereas Saturn Bomberman isn't.

    Space Harrier in the AGES line was superb as well. I was extremely impressed by how well it looked and played, if it wasn't arcade perfect it was damned near it.

    Especially liked Out Run, Ichitant-R/Tant-R ('puzzle&action'), Columns Arcade Collection and the SEGA AGES Memorial Selections 1&2. Still looking for a decently priced Castle of Illusion/Quackshot combo disc.

    You can get a collection of Space Harrier, After Burner II and Out Run on PAL or US Saturn. What would be a decent price for Castle of Illusion/Quackshot?

    Dunno, $15-20 would be nice, spine must be included.

    It's a nice port, but it would only work on a gray Sega/1st ed. Victor Saturn. The same goes for OutRun, but this one got a revision which would work with white Saturns etc. You can only tell them apart by looking at the serial at the center of the disc though, which makes it quite hard to track one down in the wild without having to ask the seller about such anal nonsense. :p

    Differences in Saturn models? Huh. Nice to know more about that. I'm a stickler for the US model 1. Round buttons just don't look perfect, much like a slot widened SFC wouldn't.

    Last chance to speak up. I understand if people aren't interested in promoting or criticizing a vendor in public, so if you prefer not to post in the thread I don't mind seeing a private message or an e-mail telling me what you think about this particular vendor. If you have strong feelings about why I should or should not give them my money, I'm interested to hear about it.
