Hey kids! As I was in the photo taking mood, and because I'd yet to do this, I thought I'd share my Saturn collection.
I bought my first Saturn in the winter of 1997, used, with a selection of ten games. My late arrival to the system was, in part, due to my love for my Genesis. Another reason I had held off from the system was that I was low on cash and didn't see any urgency in owning a Saturn as there was no true Sonic game for the system. It wasn't until I played NiGHTS at a department store that I knew I had to own the system.
In the past few months I've returned to the system with the purchase of a Japanese model, two stunners and a few new games.
For the most part, the games seen below were purchased between 1997 and 2000. The prize of my collection is a mint Burning Rangers that I had bought sealed in 2000 for $30, it was the first online purchase I had ever made. Recent additions include Clockwork Knight 2, Mr. Bones and the standard demo of NiGHTS.
The majority of my disc only games are fighters, my favorite being FIGHTERS MEGAMIX. The Bootleg Sampler and Bug! demo discs have been great in helping decide which games to buy. After five minutes of playing the Bug! demo, I knew that I will never want to own the full game (now watch, a month from now I'll own it and the sequel, damn ebay addition). The odd duck is Quaterback Attack, a game that I probably bought as it was 99 cents and I was in a buying mood. What was I thinking? I hate (American) football games.
So there you have it, my small but immensely fun Saturn collection! Oh, and I now write for the Dreamcast Junkyard! :D

Ah, okay, cool stuff! I was about to bitch you out for burning discs and calling it a collection. ;)

Best System ever.
Gotta say, I'm a bit jealous, Barry! That's a nice copy of Burning Rangers (US)! Here's my collection of Saturn stuff:

Notes:
- All the games pictured are either near mint, mint, or new. I've got a few dozen other games that aren't in as good condition too.
- The two black model 2 controllers are actually USB pads, but I love them all the same.
- I need to find the right font to recreate the stage title screen from Virtua Cop 2. Got the right filter color though!
- My V-Saturn needs dusted, lol.
Thanks! Nice collection of Japanese games! I want to get my hands on a few of those.
Ah, crap. Forgot to photograph my steering wheel, NiGHTS storybook, and NiGHTS PS2 game. Maybe I'll do it later.
Nice collection Barry! Very similar to my own, but I have to say I own quite a few software titles too. The fact that about 75% of them are rubbish is beside the point...
Actually, that might just give me an idea for a post...
Ah the rubbish buys. I have to say, if it weren't for the Saturn, I'd be buying some very shitty Dreamcast games right now.
