Saturn Exclusives (that are still just that)

Bug looks pretty fun. I'll have to grab that and it's sequel

 

Bug is actually pretty awful. It's like Sega's Bubsy: a stupid character with ATTITUDE in a bad game.

I guess Bug is more offensively boring than outright bad. Still, wouldn't wanna voluntarily play it, plus I just hate all those characters with ATTITUDE that western developers created in the 90s: Gex, Bug, Bubsy, Crash Bandicoot etc.

 

Only Bubsy truely sucked

 

Bug! was fun but too hard. Bug! too even more so.

 

Sega Rally was also released on PS2 together with the japanese version of Sega Rally (evo?). Port was solid. Biohazard was of course not exclusive but had a cool exclusive time attack mode the other versions lacked.

 

As characters, all the ones I mentioned sucked.

 

I really only hate Bubsy as a character and his games were just horrible too, I remember Gamepro doing monthy features on the development of the first game hyping the shit out of it only for the final product to just be complete ass.

 

I wanted to say elevator action 2 but I remembered it's on a Taito compilation for PS2 (Saturn ver is a port, I think Ps2 version is just the arcade F3 version emulated).

Is that game any good? I've been curious about it every time I see the ST-V cart up on yahoo.

 

Well, it's kind of fun. Still crap compared to 1080 though if you ask me.

 

Steep Slop Sliders was the BEST snowboarding game of it's time. Even now it's still a solid game plus it features a cool real time mode where each course has lighting conditions based upon the time of day. So I can Play the Japanese course at say 10am and it will be daytime but a European course would be at night.

This is a feature only a Saturn could do and the Dreamcast after that. What is sad is that modern day consoles like the 360 and PS3 have built in clocks but never use this cool real time feature.

Yakumo

PS: Bug and Bug Too are so boring you'll never want to complete them plus the character just like Bubsy, Gex, Awesome Possum and all the others is annoying.

 

If I had to choose my favorite Saturn game, it'd probably have to be Virtua Fighter 2 - which is a bit unfortunate because my Japanese copy has problems loading sometimes. I need to get a new one.

 

Yeah, Steel Slope Sliders is amazing game. Also besides this real time mode it has a lot of secrets (like extra courses and unlockable characters).

 

All this talk about snowboarding games make me whip out Rippin Riders good shit there.
Steel Slope Sliders is Japan exclusive?

 

I've often thought about this. I think the reason it's not done in this day and age is because it could really piss people off if they are always working during daylight hours and vise versa. Manually changing the system time could fuck up so many things these days.

 

Robotica (or was it Deadalus I can't remember and my saturn games boxed up at the moment) sucks. It's the same shit over and over, it never ends. Find the key to the exit and destroy the robots in your way. It even plays the same music for each level, it changes once you have the key. But even that is the same one every time you get the key. If I remember correctly, if you die on say level 32, you have to start back at level 1.

One question I want to know is. Is there ending for this game?

=hugh

 

actually now that I think about it, I think the Saturn is the only platform for Virtual Hydlide.

No, Im not knocking the game. I quite enjoyed Super Hydlide on the Genesis...

 

Yep. There's a final boss.


I actually liked Robotica and the Bug! games. Bug! was a decent enough platformer, it's just brutally hard and extremely drawn out. Robotica is all about playing in the dark with surround sound on full blast.

 

You could just switch off the real time setting just like you could on saturn games. no need to change times or anything. just a simple On / Off option on the game.
