"Sega Saturn"

Well recently I bought that unloved black lump, the Saturn.

Anyway I have now begun to start buying some games for it. I have Sega Rally, Command &Conquer and Tomb Raider which should be on its way soon.

However I imagine some of you have some old Saturn stuff kicking around and I would be interested if you wanted to sell any of it.

The analogue controller?

Sega's (poor) answer to the Dual Shock!

Well, I'm still torn between buying it and not - more towards buying it. Sod it, if it's still there next time I'm at the shopping centre, it's mine!

I bought a Saturn about a year ago from some shop 2nd hand for sommin' like £20

It came with that special pad they made for Nights to, you know, the one with the 3D stick on.

Also had a copy of Virtua Fighter 2 left in the machine when I bought it. Even though I bought it at the same time as the machine for 99p, as well as Sega Rally and Wipeout for 99p each.

The version of Wipeout for the Saturn is really good! I hightly recommend picking up a copy.

I also managed to get that steering wheel which looks like the controls from Kit out of Knight Rider. Cost me all but five english pounds!

:)

Depends on the games and condition.

I got mine for £20 without any games. Some like Sega Rally can be bought for as little as £3. Virtua Fighter 2 in mint condition only cost me 99p!

But it does have a wheel with it. Which is fairly good, especially if it is a Sega wheel.

There were certainly a lot of fantastic games available that I had not heard of until recently. And of course there was Daytona...

I almost bought a Saturn with 3 games (not known) and a wheel for £39.99.

Think I should go ahead and get it?

I'm incredibly tempted as this is the only console I never had...

The A1200 used the 68020 CPU, much faster when compared to the 68000, which I think the A500s and A600 used.

Buy Die Hard Arcade. It's superb.

makes ya realise how fast it all moves doesn't it?
2mb of RAM and a 68000 cpu?? that's similar to the amiga 1200 i have stored away...

and to think i've just had to spend £400 on a new graphics card, processor and a gig of RAM to get the most from 3dsMAX *lol*
i mean, as powerful as MAX is, it all seems a little surreal and a long way from the halcien(sp??) days of DPaint :)

I don't think so. Check out the Xplosiv site to find out; I haven't bought any Xplosiv stuff for about 6 months, so i don't really know about their current range.

£4.99! Brilliant. I'll have to grab myself a copy. Anyone know anything about Knuckles Choatix? I've got an emulator with it on but it's dead slow. They haven't got it for the PC too, have they?

I think Knuckles Choatix was on the 32X.
