Best Sega Saturn games

well, if youre just starting out, some of the cheap yet good games are what youre probably looking for , I would recommend

Virtua Fighter 2

Sega Rally

Daytona USA

Street Fighter Zero 2

Panzer Dragoon

Exhumed/Powerslave

Virtual On

Winter Heat or Decathlete (2 different games, but more or less the same just with a different setting)

if you have a lightgun and a CRT , you can also get Virtua Cop 1 and 2 (you can play them with a controller or a mouse, but its not as fun obviously)

this is a short list to get you started, once you get those, then you can expand it later if you wish.

Here you go OP:

If you were to ask me, I would say Nights, Sega Rally, and Darius Gaiden are good places to start.

I have not played the PSN/XBL port of Nights.. but if you've played it then I guess there's no need to play it on the Saturn.

There was exactly the same thread a couple of days ago. Each one of these have aged well, and are worth owning. Awesome games and i consider them the cream of the crop of absolute quality. 

Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story I, II, III (one of the best mecha games ever, and very cheap aswell)
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Bulk Slash
Virtua Fighter 2
SEGA Rally (the mechanics and car handling have barely ben surpassed, light years ahead of its time)
Nights into Dreams... (if you don't have the PC version)
Panzer Dragoon Saga (jp version infinitely cheaper)
Shinning The Holy Ark
Shinning Force III Scenario 1, 2 and 3
Dragon Force I, II
Magic Knight Rayearth
Albert Odyssey
PowerSlave
Daytona USA CE (jp import)
Winter Heat

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] you have Quake and Resident Evil? I like Saturn Quake, though I will admit that when I do play Quake, its usually glquake, in 3DFX mode.Darkman2007

Because the only way to play a game is if you own it. :roll:

ha , I see,

We've had this conversation before. I mentioned that growing up I had a PS1, while my best friend across the street had a Saturn. We'd play games at each other's houses all the time. Now, I'm trying to get back a lot of those games that I played at his house that I didn't personally own then.

Before that I had a SNES while he had a Genesis. But in that case, I bought a Genesis not too long after because in the mid-90s they got quite cheap. So because of that, I got the best of both worlds for both generations.

I just got Shining Wisdom and I am having fun with it. Kind of a SNES Zelda clone...

I didn't have a single console until about 99 or so (I think , I can't quite remember) , until then it was mostly all PC (apart from playing a bit of NES and Mega Drive), first a 486 then a Pentium probably influenced my gaming tastes quite a bit.Darkman2007

agent2112

that is cool. the game gets very mixed reviews overall. to me any shining game is special though until 1998 and camelot finished they final shining effort with scenario 3 of shining force 3. however shining wisdom is probably the least of them. try to get shining the holy ark or shining force 3 if you have the money and or genesis/sega cd games

I grew up as a kid with master system and megadrive and amiga. it couldn't be any better surly. everyone had either of those 3 as a kid and I also knew 2 who had a nes, so I also played on that. but I hold dearest feelings towards amiga and the 32 bit systems

you are younger than me then I guess. I grew up with stuff like pirates!, sherman, turrican, pinball dreams, flashback, monkey island and many more. I also had a pc from 1995 onwards, so I also played duke nukem 3d, aladdin(best version), but it made less impression on me overall than amiga did. when amiga was around, it was the most advanced you could think of. it's like to have owned a ps3 during the 32/n64 bit era.

[QUOTE="bultje112"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] well the Amiga is a bit different than a DOS PC, I would say that really until the early 90s the Amiga was the better machine for gaming. also the games I played as a child are different, I remember stuff like Commander Keen , Duke Nukem and Jazz Jackrabbit.Darkman2007

I started from as young as I have any memories, 1987 probably. my dad and uncles all played games(my uncles still do and one is 75!!)
