Vastly underrated and overlooked system
The Sega Saturn achieved much success overseas, but it never really took in America thanks to Sony's Playstation. Originally designed as a replacement for the aging Sega Genesis, the Saturn was to be designed to be the ultimate 2-D system, that was until Sega learned of Sony's plans. However, there are a lot of good qualities about the Saturn: the game library features over 300 games, the Saturn system itself is the most trouble free system ever made, the 3-D Analog controler (which was an early prototype of the Dreamcast controler) was the best on the market, the best conversions of 2-D games are on the Saturn...it was the first system to introduce online play... and it's library of RPG's is fantastic. All in all, the Saturn may have not been the best system, but it was pretty good...

The most under-rated game system of all time.
Ahh the Sega Saturn. It was Sega's first forray into the bright world of 32-bit, and due to some picky U.S. fans...sank like a rock. But why you ask? Read on.....
The Sega Saturn was originally designed to be a 2D system as the succesor to the Sega Genesis. However, once word got to Sony, and the Playstation was in development, the Saturn was quickly updated with a dual 3D coprocessor design. The Saturn was launched in Japan November, 22, 1994 with tremendous success and a huge fanfare. Things looked good for the Saturn. May 1995 Sega had a surprise launch of the Saturn, much to the dismay of U.S. retailers. The Sega Saturn quickly became a household name! Everyone who was anyone wanted one and Panzer Dragoon was a instant classic. Then a couple of weeks later SEGA released it's development kit to U.S developers. The developers were not happy at all. Both revisions of the development systems were buggy,
unreliable, and a pain ...to program for. Needless to say, games were scarce, GOOD games were rare, and overall the Saturn looked doomed. The death of the Saturn came in 1998, when SEGA released the far superior Dreamcast. OK enough history and now why to buy a Saturn. The Saturn had a bunch of great games, namely SEGA Rally, Virtua Figher 2, Dead Or Alive 2, Baku Baku, Waku Waku 7, Duke Nukem 3D and many more. If you're a RPG nut, Saturn has the wonderful Grandia, and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Duke Nukem 3D is acclaimed the best console port (and not at all censored!) and Dead Or Alive 2? Well ahem.. you figure it out. :)
The Saturn also was the first with NETPLAY thanks to X-Band, and it also had the STUNNER, a light gun with Virtua COP. Also it had Sega Rally, (the ultimate racing game until Gran Turismo)and it even had a port of Gex and Resident Evil! The only thing it didn't have was a (original)Sonic game, that and a fair chance in the console arena. :(...this is a steal, and should be in everyone's collection, if it isn't already.

What A Great Game System
Man I love this system. I had one a few years ago and got rid of it. That was bad on my part I wish I never got rid of it and also some of the games I had. The best game is Blazing Hero's. That was the first game I got with the system, and after I finished the game I sold it ( another thing bad I did) but i just bought the game again here at Amazon and i'm fixing to by the console to. as soon as I get my next pay check.
