Under the Radar Saturn Games

Did I not state I'm BUYING games Here's the direct quote

My physical Collection must grow. Playing with a SF Anniversary pad and XBOX duke on SSF isn't the same as my real Saturn in S-video.

 

Using a big Xbox controller to play Saturn games?

 

Then why do you need recommendations? Your pirated backup collection already includes many good games that would cost you a roughly estimated $2000 or more. I see Stellar Assault, Astra Superstars, Battle Garegga, all the good stuff in there...

Start by buying some real copies of some of your backups, by now you must have found enough good games to keep your wallet busy for a while if you really intend to buy them.

 

Most of the titles I mentioned are cheap.

 

Now you know why I got the real deal

I still feel like something is missing

 

Why not head over to segagagadomain, and read through all of the synopsis' on Saturn games? Thats what I did. Found many games that I never knew existed.

 

Oh I do that But that only for the most part covers Japanese games.

Who knew Casper was actually half way decent? (Sega Saturn forum UK clued me on on that one)

 

That isn't too surprising, western made Saturn games were a mixed bag. Especially lots of American sports titles Japan might not have been too interested in anyway.

 

Casper is on my site but I think it's a bit poo

Try the second one. I really love it, especially because of all the hidden bits and the feel good vipe.

Bug! was a little too frustrating for me.

 

Bug is terrible, a good example of mid-90s Western game design at its worst: a stupid main character and a boring, frustrating game. But it was 3D, which was pretty much all that mattered then.

 

Last time I saw Bug! being played it was 2005 and I was doing computer repair at my High School. Was sent to higher funcitoning "Special Education" class where it apparently was a favorite along with a few other Saturn->PC ports. Take that as you will.

Though they also liked Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. No idea how well some of the kids could play it but one of them was the best damned expert on the American Civil War I'd ever met.

Bug was shit as was Gex and all the other annoying western platform characters that spouted pointless shit while playing. Bug as a game was long and dull as fuck also. I really hated playing that and the second game even if it was better. Nothing to do with western or Japanese development. It was a crap typical western heap of 3D shit from the mid 90's.

Well seems people are divided on Bug! I liked it actually but (like said) thought it was too hard and unfair in some places. I also love some of the bosses and the foot stomp dead sequence in Bug too! was just hilarious.

 

Bubble Symphony and Mizubaku Daibouken. Not exactly under the radar, but not yet mentioned.
Nekketsu Oyako is fun too.
