I just bought a copy of "Virtual On"!

[MotoRoaderMike]

I can't wait to get it. I remember enjoying it the rare times I played it at the arcade. Sounds and looks like fun!!!

[nectarsis]

I'm assuming Saturn version?

[Joe Redifer]

The second Virtual On game is based in Canada or something like that.  And why isn't this game called Virtua On?

It's too hard to say.

I had the NetLink version of Virtual On and played a few games online.  Kicked some butt, too.

The Saturn version is the only home port of the game, as far as I'm aware.

Also, it's called "Virtual on" because it's that much more awesome than the plain-old 'virtua' games.

There is a PC port, PCs usually fit in homes so it is a home port.


And VO kicks MAJOR ASS.

Apparently nobody here has played the Dreamcast version (which can work with the Saturn sticks if you have the Total Control 3).

Well, thats a different game. Oratorio Tangram as opposed to Cyber Troopers.

Cyber Troopers was released for Saturn and Windows but the recent PS2 version is, from what they say, a freakishly great port of the Model 2 original. The only problem with this that I see is that I prefer the 2nd game over the 1st one so much that I can't see the point in playing the first one very often these days. I do have it for Saturn though. The US Netlink version and the JP standard version.

VirtuaOn. Apply directly to your Saturn. VirtuaOn. Apply directly to you Saturn.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

There's a version of Cyber Troopers for the PS2? The only VO game I was aware of on the PS2 was Marz, which sucked like a black hole.

And it's a different AWESOME GAME, best version of VO EVER, unfortunately I let a friend borrow it and apparently he used it to resurface a table. I gave him a black eye (he's a pussy) and we don't speak anymore.

Yeah Marz sucks, but there's a SEGA AGES import that is like everybody says a near 1:1 port of the arcade game, with some enhancements. I'd be dammed if America receives it though.

No,it won't cost ya a fortune either beside it's the best way to play vo.

[termis]

Game rules. I have the US Netlink version, the JP version, the Korean Samsung release.

The sequel on the DC is a much better game, though the twinsticks are mandatory for the sequel.

You can't base their value on prices from ebay's biggest douche or on a brand new unit.  If you keep your eyes open, you'll get a decent deal like this one.
