You're still missing saga. Can't play those 3 without a run through Saga

I want that so bad!
Um...what?I... Uh... Don't play JRPGs.
They're not my thing so playing PDS is out.
I... Uh... Don't play JRPGs.
I don't really play traditional JRPGs, either, and it's been a loooong time since I played Saga (like, since it came out lol), but Saga's honestly pretty light on the stuff I dislike about them. Might be worth a playthrough even if you don't like the genre.

This game should be the exception though. It's more of an Action/Adventure/RPG lite. 10-12 hours of gameplay.

It's rather depressing how expensive Saturn games have become over the last few years. I really need to get myself a time machine and hit up Funcoland ASAP
I'm sure it's got some great RPGs, but the Saturn always seemed like an arcade-centric system at heart to me.

Virtua Cop is awesome! I play it and Daytona at least once a month.
I agree with this. It's got some cool games in other genres but arcade games (shmups and fighters especially) are the Saturn's main pull.
EDIT: Good point about the Japanese RPG list trouncing the west though, Piggychan. I think I have all the major NA Saturn RPG's barring Magic Knight Rayearth. Glad we at least got an English Soul Hackers port...on the 3DS
There are a lot, shame they exist mostly in japan....
and I think there is equal amounts of RPGs for the Saturn to arcade ports. These are some of them.. probably about 60%

I think we got some of the standouts, but damn am I sad we didn't get Sakura Wars.
Damn Bernie Stolar. No fast food job dirty enough for that fool.

I didn't know that...I have Daytona as well.
I used to play these back in the day, but now I'm trying to get back into them more than ever.
You like PDZ. You love it. Resistance is hopeless. Your life is meaningless without PDZ.
Invader Zim?
You get a sticker. A sticker of doom.
Is Virtua Cop playable without a lightgun?

Member
Yes, don't let anybody tell you different. Lightgun is the weapon of choice tho.
sometimes I prefer the controller because holding the gun up the entire game makes my arms tired. Getting old sucks
Virtua Cop 2 on Windows can be played with the mouse. It's not enjoyable.
Too damn easy
Glad to know this, I actually own it but havent played it since the crt went in the basement.
Lol.

Huh, I always thought it was mostly sports titles and BM. Although Guardian Heroes is listed, but is that coop?

Absolutely. Best co-op.

Saturn collection! fuck me, i wish idve taken this bit more seriously before 2013...
Haha! I do sometimes think about that. I feel like I dodged a bullet. I'd probably have 3x as many games to hunt down if I were a big JRPG nut. The closest I've ever come is Folklore on PS3, but the art style and mood of the game has a lot to do with my enjoyment of it. Plus it's real time action.

I play JRPGs but if they cost more than what I paid for Final Fantasy III on SNES when it first came out, I don't buy it.
Damn. How many banks did you rob to afford that?
I have some games that are disc-only. Namely Die Hard Arcade, Sonic 3D Blast, Virtua Fighter 2, and X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. Kinda bugs me.
It's there.

hah! ill be paying off some purchases for a while to come, but i got lucky on most - the only games ive payed $100+ for to this day are Saga, Snatcher, Rayearth and Shining Force III, so i don't feel too bad!

i hear ya (im missing some manuals too), but you've got a lotta classics right there! and if it bothers you enough, you can always get a sports game & cut it for the case/print out a high-res cover, that's what i did for Burning Rangers!

My collection is hidden in a drawer because I had an open house and feared someone would steal my games. Not pretty, but safe.
