Thinking About Getting The Following Games...

Saturn:
-Street Fighter Alpha >
I assume you already have Alpha 2. So why would you want Alpha 1? Unless you can find a copy for 8 bucks or so, or if you're a super diehard SF fan who needs to experience the differences from sequel to sequel, I'd pass on this. I'm a big SF fan, but I don't have Alpha 1. Never was interested in getting it. It would just collect dust. I'd play Alpha 2 and 3 way more. But it's your call.
-Last Bronx >
Good fighter. Worth the 10 or so bucks it goes for. My favorite fighter is Tommy.
PSX:
-Darkstalkers 3 >
Why not just get the Saturn version, "Vampire Savior"? I played both, and while I give credit to the PSX version for being surprisingly solid, the Saturn version blows it outta the water.

If you are interested, here is the intro to last bronx. Not great quality, I encoded this long ago. Download from my old sega saturn site.

You're right, the Saturn version is better, but the PSX has an extra secret character called 'Marionette' if I'm not mistaken...

Marionette is hardly a "character".
Darkstalkers 3 is a good port. The cover art alone is worth owning the game.

Groove on fight is an amazing game. The animation is a little lacking but the gameplay is really fun. My favorite part is picking up fallen opponents and throwing them at the enemy. The character design is super homo-S&M, great great stuff. I think this game is probably hard to find, im not sure.
Don't bother with PSX darkstalkers, it blows.
SFA for saturn is awsome, its worth owning for the wacky chain combos that do too much damage. I feel this game is different enough from sfa2 to warrant a puchase. Its really cheap too, dont pay more than 10 bucks for it.
I dont have last bronx, i think ill get that too!!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! It looks like almost all the games on my list are proven winners. I had a blast playing Fighting Vipers on Saturn back in the day, so I guess it was no surprise that Last Bronx is another solid Sega fighter (or so Steve says). I'll probably try Darkstalkers 3 first before Vampire Savior simply because I want to be able to read the dialogue in English (that, and I don't own an Action Replay cart- yet). I've already played SFA2 for Saturn, but I still want SFA since I want to see if it blows the PSX port away (and since I'm somewhat of a completeist). Groove-On Fight sounds "groovy" (and will hopefully get me psyched for Matrimelee).
I'm still in the dark about Magical Drop F, Money Idol Exchanger, and Puyo Puyo 4 (though the four-player mode looks mighty tempting). Any further comments would be appreciated.

You do know that Vampire Savior on the Saturn has an English option? wink
