I’ll leave the link below,

someone on Twitter suggested I do this game, didn’t know the Sega Saturn had gems like this. I mean the art alone is crazy, soundtrack is great. Writing was heavy surprising, it’s an adult story for sure. inspired me to go purchase the art books from the artist of this game off Japanese sites. Should be pretty polished, plz enjoy and thank you

if you want to keep up with my work, my Twitter handle is @ abyss

EDIT: works on a real Sega Saturn console, thanks to glow162 for the discovery

It would be really nice if some mods in at least one sub on this stupid website grew a spine and put their foot down against the AI slop coded garbage that gets posted here all day every day now.

Hey Saturners,

Wanted to share how this Saturn business is going for me.

After a teardown and deep clean, I did a simple mod for 50/60Hz conversion. First time soldering and way cheaper learning to do it than paying someone. Now I have all the gear for other mods if needed. Having the proper 60Hz speed and full 4:3 aspect ratio is a game changer. An S-Video cable is on the way too.

The Saroo as I'm sure you all know is an awesome bit of kit. The faster load times are a huge convenience. Although, I feel loading up a full list of ROMs can take away some of the buzz. Too many choices. I'm limiting myself to the Japanese pickups and PAL versions I have for now. Trying to stick to playing the physical versions I own – Radiant Silvergun included! The Saturn version is out of reach, but I picked it up on Switch instead.

The PAL Saturn game cases needed some love, so I reglued them and got some inexpensive acrylic cases to protect them.

The Saturn shmups are excellent! 2D Sprite goodness. I've been down the YouTube rabbit hole watching best-of videos to learn more. The Saturn is a gem (hidden for me).

Found a mint copy of Fighters Megamix and when I got home, my new 8bitdo M30 had just arrived. Holy cow. The controller is perfection.

I just recently played VF2 for the first time on Saturn and it immediately shot up to my 2nd favorite game on the system behind Sega Rally. Fighters Megamix expands on VF2 with more moves, dodging, endless arenas, a cool motion blur effect and more. Just the Virtua fighter scenario could have easily been published by itself as Virtua Fighter 3 (or 2.5?). Maybe with all the new coding tools, someone could port the VF3 stages into this version.

My first Sega console was the Dreamcast (bought on launch day) so totally missed out the Saturn until about 2005 when I found one at a garage sale. It’s always been a novelty item for me but more and more, I’m discovering how much of a powerhouse game system the Saturn is!

Hello!

I have an announcement: Full Throttle Rally is now available for purchase on Steam. Here’s a short trailer so you can see what it looks like.

Full Throttle Rally is an arcade racing game set in Mexico.

While some of these are still very rough around the edges, just this month alone there's been a huge flood of playable translations releases. Most are using LLMs in some capacity which I know is a third rail for a lot of people (my own personal position is like anything else it's a tool that can and should be utilized, but without human guidance it produces low quality work), but for those of us who don't speak Japanese it's really opening up a lot of new games to play.

While a game like Devil Summoners deserves polish, others I'm just happy to have available.

I know I’m gonna get automatic hate for this and it’s 100% warrented, I’m genuinely really sorry for doing a disservice to the command making vibeslop, but I gave in because it was easy, but unlike those who go for suprime sonic mania, or doom, or resident evil 3. I’m doing simple 2D puzzle games ported from PlayStation a lot, i’m not even gonna say what titles I’m working on, but one of them is 99% complete. I’m debugging it and I really am proud of it because it’s a game I love now running on Saturn with very minor visual bugs. And I think someone may enjoy it. But I honestly find I get kind of uncomfortable with large amounts of attention. Positive or negative and I just wish there was a way people could just ignore me entirely and just play this title. I’m not the talent behind it. I just wasted my money on a subscription and figured seeing people play it on YouTube would be nice. But I also know and aware that vibe coded games are digital asbestos, and no matter how much I polish a turd. It’s never going to be anything special and it will always be in the shadows of actual talent. So I’m extremely hesitant to release anything ever.

Currently on Disc 4 of Panzer dragon saga, first ever play through.

I'm now after Grandia, Nights, Deep Fear, Enemy Zero and Burning Rangers.

Haven’t gotten a Saturn game in a while because darn are they expensive but I wanted to make sure I got a pretty heavy hitter for my library.

Hello everyone.

When I bought some years ago my SEGA Saturn, while browsing some sites, IIRC it was eBay, I came across a very expensive game whose cost was far higher than the console itself. At least 200€ (used, ofc). I didn't buy it because it was both too pricey and it was not something I was looking for.

Today, while browsing a site I came across some old Saturn games and that old memory resurfaced, despite being blurry after all this time.

IIRC, this mysterious game used some 3D elements which were like a new technology, or at least that's what I can barely recall so far.

I ruled out games like:

• Any game whose cover includes any human character
• Dragon Ball / Virtua Fighter or other similar games
• Sport games (NBA, Soccer, etc.)
• Resident Evil/Bio Hazard games
• Command & Conquer
• Daytona USA or racing games
• Tomb Raider

If I were to guess its genre, I'd go for space combat/action games.

I considered that the game could be "Radiant Silvergun" but it's a JP only game, which means that it doesn't have a rectangular cover - something that my minds keep suggesting that the unknown game has...

I checked some web pages which list some famous/rare games, but nothing seems to be what I am looking for.

I know it's very little to work with, but if you have any idea, feel free to share it.

Thank you for reading!

Hardcore 4X4 is Virtual Hydlide kinda choppy with the fps. The input is laggy as all get out too. Pretty close to unplayable. Not the worst game for Saturn though, I'd probably rather play this over Black Fire or something.

Kinda wild the PS1 version is like night and day and actually looks playable.

Sonic 3D Blast is, what I consider to be the last TRUE Sonic game, it's not even a platformer, just an action adventure game where the platforming doesn't even work and can be avoided. The developers put workarounds at pretty much every platforming section because they knew full well their isometric platforming just isn't working. You can either jump over the platforming bits or find ways around them. Sonic 3D Blast is IMO an a simple exploration action adventure game, is all.

I honestly liked the game since day one, tho initially I was conflicted for like the first 15 minutes, but that was that.

This deep dive takes you through the different versions of the game and my own personal experience with it since its launch, I was there when Sonic 3D Blast first came out, I played it, enjoyed it and keep coming back to it and I firmly believe this is every bit as much of a Classic Sonic game as the rest of the 16bit ones.

I've tried a few time to burn a disc of Panzer Dragoon Saga to play on my SEGA Saturn, but everytime it crashes after entering my name. Is this an anti-piracy thing? Or just a bad burn? I've been using some recommended CD-Rs and other burned games haven't given me much issue like this one has.

Also, please don't suggest a flash cart or Satiator, I don't have the money for it currently. Sometime in the future

Hi all! I wanted to share something I’ve been working on. I’ll have something physical to show soon, but for now I’d love for you to see the first renders of this console I’m creating.

It’s inspired by the 32bit era, with a clear nod to the Sega Saturn, in my own way.

I’d really like your opinion on the shape: what do you miss in it, and what would make it a cult object on your shelf?

As for games, the idea is for them to be made specifically for this console but for now, this.

(The images are concept renders made with my tools from my design. The real prototype is on its way.)

I’m hoping that someone can please help me and shed some light on the switch on the rear of my Saturn. I purchased it recently, works perfectly, and it’s chipped, but I don’t know what this switch is for. Tried it both ways and don’t notice a difference. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I’m guessing it’s a 50/60hz toggle?

Hi everyone! Where is the best place to buy Saturn in USA or México?

I’ve been wanting a good controller for AGES!!
