I just got a Saturn. What accessories, other than the VF Stick Pro, do I need now? What games other than VF2, VF Kids, Panzer Dragoon(and Zwei), NiGHTS and Virtual On?

If you're going to buy some American region games first, go for Burning Rangers. I can't stress that enough. I have no idea how much it goes for now, but it's a fantastic game and only playable with the language you know.

Never played the first PD, but Zwei's aged...not just in graphics, either.
Star Fox 64 knocks the crap out of it, even though I haven't played that one in years, I know it does.

Also, this is for Lagduf's inevitable post:
shut up YOU'RE WRONG.

Double also, Nights sucks.

You know me well.

Zwei vs Starfox 64...Now there is a good debate. To the war room? Panzer Dragoon is probably the weakest shooter in the entire series. I like Zwei the best, but the gameplay in Orta is better.

PS: Lonesage, i wasn't "amazed" by NiGHTS when it came out, but to be fair to those who love it - I didn't give it a whole lot of play.

SATURN GAMES (if you can find/get them)

Panzer Dragoon Saga
Guardian Heroes
Dragon Force
Shining Mission 3

You might want to get Virtua Cop 1 and 2, Sega Rally, and Daytona USA as well.
Dark Saviour

How much is your local pawn shop selling it for? I don't see many pawn shops around that are actually knowledgable w/ regard to high value older games.

70 bucks is what they're selling it for. So I'd have to charge shipping at least this place is games only and has everything from odyssey to ps3 I don't believe they have any games over 100 bucks though

Ah, so it's more like a used electronics store.

Real pawn shops (with tvs, stereos, tools, guns, movies, etc) sometimes are hiding hidden gems of games for ultra low $$$.

You think PDZwei's aged in graphics? It's probably some of the best for the system. Burning Rangers looks so shitty it's not even funny. Most extreme case of polygon clipping in a game I've ever seen.
