Twenty to Fifteen - Save the Date

Begin the party preparations, for in twenty days our beloved Sega Saturn will be turning fifteen years old! On November 22, 1994 the Saturn was released in Japan.


I've had a little banner up at the Nomad Junkyard in anticipation of the big day, but now that I write for the house that FK built I can celebrate in full force. So fellow Saturn Junkyard fans and writers, what are you doing to celebrate? The 22nd is a Sunday so there is no excuse NOT to do something.

I'll be at a pickle festival on the 22nd, but I promise I'll make time for the Saturn.

    I suppose the proper way to celebrate would be to play a launch title. Unfortunately, the Saturn's Japanese launch titles were World Soccer, Pebble Beach Golf, and the awful first version of Virtua Fighter. I dunno, maybe I'll just drop a PS1 off my roof to see if it can fly. ;)

    Oh cool! I originally wanted to get myself a Sega Saturn birthday cake, but now my girlfriend isn't working in a bakery anymore. :o

    Are you a November birthday elend? I'm November 28th. :D

    I think a rebirth of Segata would be fitting tribute.

    OK! Time for decisive action! It'll be the day I hook my Japanese Saturn for the first time, and I'll play a few old favourites... That reminds me, I must get on with the post I hinted at some time ago...

    haha, yeah, the International Pickle Festival in Rosendale, New York. My girlfriend is German, so she is all about pickled things. There is a pickle juice drinking contest, which she wants to enter. I'm afraid to see the outcome of that. :o
    I'm sure I'll think of something Saturn related while there, just for an excuse to post a picture of a guy in a pickle costume here at the SJY.

    I think I«ll just throw in the usual classics. Virtua Fighter, Sega Rally, maybe a new game or two if I feel like it. Yeah, I'm boring... :/

    I'll probably play some Saturn Bomberman, or Fighters Megamix. I suppose I could try to continue my second play-thru of Panzer Dragoon Saga.

    OR ALL THREE!!!

    Probably some Sega Rally, and Marvel Superheroes vs. SF!
