Outrun is one of my all-time favorites, i really should get the JP AGES release since i hear the WD domestic one left stuff out...but on a related note, Chase HQ is awesome! totally glad Game Sack put me onto that one.

What was left out was non-optimal redbook audio. So you're not missing much with the WD release

its so easy to play imports and the fighting games are great. xmen vs street fighter is my fav.

How do you play imports? I've heard you need to install a region mod switch of sorts?

A brief intro: in the early 3D polygon era, I only had the PSX and a brief contact with a N64 with Goldeneye. Since the PSX has a shitload of games I never got interested in other consoles, however there seems to be some people here claiming that the Saturn library is just as good as the Sony's console.

Question: Is that true? What are the must have games, the gems, etc. And is it accessible to non-japanese (both domestic software releases and imports that don't need japanese to be played)? Should I go grab a SEGAAA or should I stay with my PS?


You can play imports via a Pro Action Replay 4n1, or installing a region mod switch.


If you import the library is just as good in most areas, and in some areas, being that of arcade ports, it curb stomps the PS1. It mainly depends on what you like to play though. If you don't care for fighting games, action games, and shooters, then you prob wont care much for the system.

Yeah I'm not much of a fan of "modern" shooters... for example I really don't like ship shooters with too many flashy visuals, bullet hells or 3D games. But I do like early 3D games outside of the ship shooter genre however. My fingers are itching to buy a japanese Saturn with Dynamite Deka (Die Hard) and this thread's replies were invaluable but I'm not sure if I'll buy it or not, college eats away so many time from me, I'm having little time to enjoy gaming lately. I'd like to expand on my gaming experience someday though :)

Thanks for the replies :)
