Hello,
As a new poster to the Saturn Junkyard I would like to extend my thanks to
FK for his gracious welcome. I hope to add some interesting content to this blog and hopefully provide some helpful info for those interested in the retro systems left behind in the console wars.
I got my Saturn at a flea market type sale in Buffalo NY. It came with 3 analog controllers and 15 games. I paid 20 bucks for the whole shebang. Damn good deal. I have been picking up games for it here and there for awhile and collected quite a few of the weirder games and less known stuff but nothing that is worth a great deal of money or is rare.

As an introduction here is some general info about my Saturn preferences and what games I would like to find...
What controller?Well there is some variety in the controllers you can use. I have two main ones at the moment.

The regular model.

The fancy analog model. (Ever notice it looks like the dimwitted cousin of the
Dreamcast controller?)

I have both and I have to say that I do not like the analog controller. Maybe it's good for games like
NiGHTS and such but I really think the analog control is off a bit. For most of the games I play on the Saturn I would go with the regular controller. However the analog controller does make a good replacement for a light gun if you want to play a shooter and currently are not "packing".
The Game I would love to have:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5CZvRTMO-WpDD-vq3d36dF9uU-Ei0UGHgaX7gyL2AJbJp4Nz1nWelA-b9JUiaicxvtB8t_oY6qp8a1A7wairWJvrQDkCzFOgdWKQVVz9aLBvxEoi5Mq1pgYRnBADH5wljdaI1caJJst6J/s320/1126372141-00.jpg)
Panzer Dragoon 2...I actually have a copy of this game but it crashes after the intro video. Hold it up to a light and you see that the top layer has been scratched. *Dammit* This is actually one of the things that shows that I am an honest person. Rather than try to sell it to some poor unsuspecting person I kept the disk. I might try yet
again tonight to make this game work. However, as some of you know, a disk scratch from the top means TOTAL DEATH for a CD.
The Game I am ashamed I would play:
Hexen, Yeah I played through this game once on my 386 and I would love the chance for another shot. It's a fun game to play IMHO. If you love Doom try this out.
The Game I would love to have but I will never be able to afford:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHrhjki6zOgA868NMr3jtAPUws2GBNKHhfd3DaLd7LsQcUaOuGyicQXeLtcy8gKAbBEBamEr0pRtVJpDc1eW-rx3oSHTRJcm8DettaOepwwlKMjG5uxxc0Jqj0OdhC-jKzxOPgs823BLXx/s320/biglogo.jpg)
Shining Force 3. The name says it all. I have played all the Shining force games except this one...
$100+ American is what this will run you most places. Hopefully one day I will run into a copy somewhere.
Random Links:Here is a weird link that I found for a Sega Saturn
FanMag.
http://saturn.classicgaming.gamespy.com/magazine/index.shtmlSadly it seems to be a dead site now.
They had some decent articles. A few of them of them are still up.
http://saturn.classicgaming.gamespy.com/magazine/article_1.shtmlhttp://saturn.classicgaming.gamespy.com/magazine/games/fmm/ss_reviews_fmm_ryan.shtmlI have no idea if the site is dead or not so enjoy while you can.
That's about all for now. Stay tuned for some reviews and other cool stuff.
