Is the Sega Saturn Worth it?

[lukester]

Finally was able to play my Saturn!

Have only played Sega Rally Championship. Seems fun, but odd. You respond to prompts on the screen.

Also, the d-pad may not be the best fit for the job. I need a 3D controller soon.

Haven't tried Street Fighter Alpha and Madden 97 yet.

Lukester, I saw an AR cart for Sega Saturn at a gameshop over here by 20$.

Do you need one for all the imports?  20$ is cheeps.

[lukester]

Arkhan, is it a 4 in 1? I would be interested.

Played street fighter alpha. Is fun, but seems very easy. Not much better than super street fighter ii, but power level aging super bar is cool.

I just keep my Action Replay in my Saturn

Is there a way you could bent the pin in the Saturn cart slot?

Let me know how Madden 97 compares to Gameday 97.

Gameday 96 and 97 are still fun and playable today in 2013. Gameday 97 INVENTED "total control passing"

Pretty sure it is.   If you want me to, I can go grab it if its still there and you can paypal me for it or whatever.  Just send a PM if you do!

I had my Game Shark in mine for years, never moved it.  One day it stopped working.  I don't know how that is possible, but it is definitely possible.

The slots do burn out sometimes, check the slot.

I have tried many hours of getting it to work, but it didn't.  Nor did a second Game Shark I had.

With a little wiggle, I can get my official cart to work nearly every time.

I mean, if we wanted to be that helpful...

Indeed.  Anything that intrudes on OBEY time really isn't worth it.

Having done this far more times than I'd like to admit over the years. sometimes you have to take a folded piece of paper, put it between the cartridge and the slot, this pushes the pins on the cartridge into making contact with some of the bent pins on the slot. You have to find a sweet spot. With that said, this isn't a perfect system as if you remove the paper, let alone the cart it will stop working.

Most DEFINITELY worth it, I need to start showing mine more love and I also need to make it import-friendly.

One of my favorite consoles - bonus points for best external memory card. Saving & loading is a breeze and it makes the PS 1 memory card feel slow and cramped.

As you'd expect, the most wanted titles is insanely expensive, but good games can be had for dirt cheap.
