I've been living the life of Ryo-san Hazuki for some time now, and I've been involved in many fights with sailors... but I found my saturn in the TV cupboard on the first day i bought the game, but this was strange, and wrong for three reasons:

The saturn wasn't released in 1986, so could this Ryo actually be Yu Suzuki? He looks like him, and yu could have had a prototype of the ill fated Sega black box!

The Saturn doesn't work - you can't actually play the thing so they should have put a Master system in its place (a SNES obviously wouldn't be welcome...) and you'd be able to sit back for a day playing on games such as Wonder Boy and Alex the Kidd!

The saturn's pad. Has anyone noticed that the control pad is actually for the mk2 saturn, whereas the Saturn in the game is Mk1? This baffles me, but I won't dwell on it - I've got a PC to buy, a superb game to play and a PLaystation to sell you know!

Keep it real.

Suzuki-san = hazuki-san.

Sega knows about the Saturn in shenmue (ie it wasn't invented). Suzuki-san just used a bit of poetic licencing... not 100% realistic, but near enough!

"I mean you're just too damn intelligent!"


What can I say to this?

(Thanks?)

Good start... humm. All I ask, is that you remember my name.

You cannot play anything on the saturn, but head on down to Dobuita and you'll be pleased to find 'You Arcade', which is home to such classics like Space Harrier, Hang On, Darts and a punching machine!!!

Great fun, but it'll cost you 100yen a go!

Get a body transfer, oh hang on - you already have. Surely a student studying for his GCSEs can't have you as a natural brain - I mean you're just too damn intelligent! How on earth do you come up with all your ideas?

I think Mensa is opening its doors already...

You should be worried though

I only got Shenmue to play the saturn in it - I'd thought the graphics might be better...
