The Genesis is Sega's best console by a mile (and, of course, I think the SNES and Genesis are equally great and don't want to choose which one I like more). I'd put the Saturn in third, behind the pretty great DC but well ahead of the SMS. Then the GG is in last.
Beat them with their own legs.
I definitely had to use the Deep Scan continues to finish the game.
The biggest flaw with Saturn Die Hard Arcade is this, really. I mean, the game doesn't support saving, so you can't unlock more credits as you play as you would in many games of this kind. And there is no built-in infinite credits mode, as other games owuld have. Instead, you have to waste lots of time playing the very slow and dull game Deep Scan for FAR too long so that you have a reasonable amount of credits for the game. And you need to do this every single time you play the game! It really kills the pacing of the game, I think... Die Hard Arcade and Dynamite Cops are both quite fun games, but Dynamite Cop is better not only because of having better graphics and multiple routes, but also because the old game in Dynamite Cop (Safari Hunt or something, yes?) isn't as annoying to play as Deep Scan, and you don't need to play it before every single game either, thankfully.
This is so depressing. I desperately want to play this and PDS, but I probably never will because of their ludicrous prices.
That I'm so bad at SHMUPs and I have no one to play local fighting games is kind of a drag! I love the Saturn but so many of its best games aren't consistent with the way my life is now.
Just stick with the arcade port in Taito Legends 2 for the PS2, it's mostly the same game. Based on that version I think the game is okay, but not great; I strongly prefer Namco's Rolling Thunder over any of the Elevator Action games.
At least the Saturn's battery is easily replaceable. I get real sick of the Dreamcast's clock setting screen.
Same. My poor DC battery is pretty much dead, even if the system has only been off for a quit short time I need to set the clock again. It's annoying.
Meanwhile, with the Saturn, I've had the system for like six years now and I think I've had to replace the battery once, maybe twice at the most, so 'every year' isn't accurate if you keep the system plugged in; I think it draws more power when unplugged, or something?
