if you have a compatible saturn, there are mods to let you boot games via SD card. I admit, a lot of the big ticket shooters are way over my price point, and even moreso in the last few years.

My Saturn would be the last system I would consider getting rid of.

Saturn is too powerful for you to handle. It destroys you all.

But yeah man, keep that bitch. Learn to do the swap trick if you can't afford to mod it yourself. It's pretty easy to tape down the part that tells the lens that the door is shut.

You better be glad Segata Sanshiro is dead.
If he saw this thread, he'd beat respect for the Sega Saturn into your body.

If you're about having a clean system and buying games and you're already on the fence, just get out, waffling does you no good. If you don't want to pad the pocket of shills, mod it, tape the thing and use burns, or if it's the right one, get the SD card setup going and screw the system and enjoy the games. Sega isn't going to care, seriously, they already let atgames as it is advertise you can warez their Genesis/MD games and run them on a SD card with that handheld of theirs. :) No reason logically to pay the wrong people for the right game given how awful the prices are. Sega is kind of like a hit and miss Nintendo feeding frenzy of the awful -- GG and Gen is cheap, more niche stuff and failed systems you pay up for, sometimes far too much.

The best I can do within the constraints of vbulletin formatting:

FADE IN:

EXT. MIDDLE CLASS HOUSE - NIGHT

The interior lights of the house are all off. The night is lit only by a single porch light, and the soft glow of a basement window. The faint sound of typing can be heard.

DISSOLVE TO:​

INT. MIDDLE CLASS HOUSE - BASEMENT - NIGHT

The basement is lit by a single reading lamp in a far corner of the room, and the soft glow of a computer monitor. The camera slowly zooms in from directly behind a young man (NGCDFreak) sitting at his computer. He's wearing a LINKIN PARK t-shirt, sweat shorts, and white tube socks. He speaks in broken english as he types.

Hey guys, should i rid myself of the Saturn?
For some reason it's not working out for me.
I'm unable to get the games I want, and
don't know why should I keep it or sell it.​

CUT TO:​

The basement door, as lit by the ambient light in the room. There is a faint glow emanating from under the door, and two dark spots make it look like someone is standing on the other side. Almost immediately, the door is kicked open with great force.

CUT TO:​

A close-up of a Japanese man's (SEGATA SANSHIRO) face. He has long sideburns and a pompadour haircut. Although it is a tight shot, we can see just enough of his upper body to know that he is wearing a judogi. He appears stern, but not angry. He stares at the young man in the chair. No, he stares through the young man in the chair.

CUT TO:​

The young man in the chair has pivoted around to see who kicked the door in. His face betrays his fear, and he has slunk down into his chair, with his body turned slightly to the side.

NGCDFREAK
Segata Sanshiro...​

CUT TO:​

Segata Sanshiro raises his hands above his head, and runs straight at NGCDFreak.

SEGATA SANSHIRO
Haaaaa!​

In one swift move, he pulls him out of the chair and on to the ground, and immediately has him in a Bret Hart-style sleeper hold, before switching to an armbar tapout move. As the man bends the boy's arm, one can hear what sounds like stretching taffy.

CUT TO:​

The beaten boy is now lying in a heap of his own tears and failure on the floor of his parents' basement. He barely has the strength to lift his head up off of the stained shag carpet and utter:

NEOGEOCDFREAK (ALMOST IN A WHIMPER)

Segata Sanshiro...​

CUT TO:​

Low shot of Segata Sanshiro. He his holding a Sega Saturn in one hand. Extending it out forcefully as if shoving it in NGCDFreak's face:

SEGATA SANSHIRO
Sega Saturn SHIRO!​

CUT TO:​

Game footage of one of the many games that NGCDFreak is being too much of a pussy to play, accompanied by a high-energy V.O. description, all in Japanese.

CUT TO:​

The same shot of the basement door, as Segata Sanshiro slowly walks out. We can only see the outline of his form, as he is being lit from directly ahead.

Sega Saturn...​

FADE OUT

Japanese Sega Saturn was probably the best console for Arcade fans ever.

Wow. I didn't read it all (way too long) but I know quality when I skim past it.

Good game.

Why do you make one of these threads every few months? You obviously get bored of your stuff and sell it every few months, but before hand you come here looking for justification. Maybe it's time to find a new hobby.

What games did you get the Saturn for?

Many decent games can be found below $100 if you are patient: Salamander Deluxe Pack, Panzer Dragoon, PD Zwei, Tomb Raider, Rayman, Darkstalkers, SF Collection, Virtua Fighter 2

Also, Guardian Heroes JP version can be gotten for a LOT cheaper then the US version, though the US version is still buyable.... I mean people spend more money on a modern game + Season Passes.
