Just picked up a Saturn (Borrowed off a friend who's not using it). It came with Panzer Dragoon and Fighting Vipers, which will keep me busy for awhile. But I have a few questions for the Saturn users...
1) What's a good Mod cart/device for the Saturn? And do any come with the 4 meg cart built in, in case I want to import some SNK and Capcom games?
2) Does anyone have any second copies of games for sale? ^^....
Edit: (Not looking for the $150 Mirage type price range, but anything from cheap to new game price will suit me...)
the best i've seen(and use often) is the action pro replay(i think that's the name), which is a 4-in-1 cart. it covers, 1mb ram, 4mb ram, converter, and back-up memroy. the price range is in the $30's.. very good for it's price..

And some other rare ones that I cant remember, also Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru is supposed to be very good but I have yet to play it. Domestically you might wanna pick up *Guardian Heroes
Taromaru = sucks. It's one of those games that are rare, so people claim it's good, even though it isn't.
Guardian Heroes = allright, but frightfully over-rated. I know a whole bunch of good games, Satoshi. You still use ICQ? I can discuss them with you. If you want, I could always churn out some tiny sample vids, too. BTW, Keioh is pretty good, and certainly hilarious, but there isn't really much meat to it. Still, it's worth it for the hilarious bosses. I-deeeee!!!
Edit: One I can recommend right now: Steamgear Mash! A lot of fun. Oh, also, Radiant Silvergun has nothing to do with Ikaruga... and you can get it for 30 bucks for STV (Saturn version has extras, though...)

Sorry for jumping this thread, but the bit on RS caught my attention. What's the standard price on an STV, and just how much is the STV version of RS missing? I'm sure the extras in the Saturn version are nice and all, but at an additional $170, I'll have to pass...
While I'm here, and since we're on the subject anyways, does anyone know where I can pick up a copy of Soukyugurentai? I don't exactly have the cash for right now, but it would be nice to know for future reference.

Maybe It's a matter of likes but I think P.K.Taromaru is a really cool game, one of the better 2D games of its genre plenty of enemies, gore, special movements...and It's hard as hell ^^;
Graphics are smooth and wont never slowdown by overload of sprites in the same screen and, well, Its really funny...ppl should try it. Of course, you know I respect your likes ;P I think the same about Guardian Heroes...
Btw, one more suggestion to Saturn owners:
Segata Sanshiro!!!! ^o^
Tobanaibutaha...tadanobutada....

Did I hear someone say that Guardian Heroes is overrated? No. I heard someone say that it's frightfully overrated!
I'll say this. Guardian Heroes is one of my favorite games EVER. It's definitely among the most chaotic games ever created. Multiple paths, multiple endings, awesome boss battles, great difficulty (depending on certain things of course), and great characters (except for Nicole, ewwww). I highly suggest that ANYONE with a Saturn pick it up.
Btw, Satoshi, which Panzer Dragoon do you have? The PD series is sadly and terribly underappreciated. There should have been a lot more of a buzz when PD Orta came out on the Xbox, but it seems that nobody cared. Each one of the games is awesome, and PD Saga is one of the best and most original RPG's I've ever played.
Other goods for the Saturn include import Vampire Saviour (full animation with 4 megabit cart, dawg!), Marvel Super Heroes (the American version actually regains the lost animation when you use the 4 megabit cart on it), Iron Storm (an extremely unknown, rare, underappreciated strategy war game based on WWII), Dragon Force (one of the best strategy RPG's of all time, there's a sequel that was only released in Japan, too) and Shining Force III (more strat-RPG goodness).
If you can't already tell, I absolutely LOVE my Saturn!

Well, it's a matter of opinion, admittedly, as most things are, but when you've played as many beat 'em ups as I have, it loses a lot of its charm.
Edit: Perhaps I should also say I prefer the Japanese version; I really don't like Working Designs at all for a number of reasons I'm not going in to here.

I didn't realize Iron Storm was so unknown. Is it really? If you like it, I know a bunch of other games you might enjoy...
quote:

Dragon Force is one of my favorite games, period. Dragon Force 2 was a terrible let down (this is probably why we never saw any more...) Shining Force 3 is... allright, but it's worse than the others. The complete storyline is also spread over three seperate "games", so if you want to know the full deal, you're going to be buying three things.
And tweleve, go to coinop express for an STV board. As for finding Radiant, you're going to have to do some digging of your own. I'm not Santa Claus here (actually, I know somebody who might be selling his, along with his STV board...)

True. Of course, beat 'em ups are my favorite genre (believe it or not) so that would be part of the explanation as to why I hold this game in such high regards. But even among beat 'em ups, this game is unique in the amount of chaos going on and the mixture of RPG elements.

What's the difference between the two versions? Oh, and Sega published GH in the US, not Working Designs.

The Iron Storm message board at gamefaqs isn't a commonly visited one, and people even here at the MMCafe barely knows of it's existence. I wouldn't be surprised if you and I were the only ones who knew of this game. In any case, I'm interested in any other similar games you could suggest (not that I'm sure that I'll be able to get them).

I've never played DF2 (heck, I didn't really play all that much DF1, but the bit that I did get to experience made me want more). When you say that SF3 is worse than the others, do you mean worse than the other Shining Forces, or worse than the other games mentioned here? SF3 is another of my all time favorites. When I learned that Sega wasn't going to bring the other two SF3 games to the US, I almost pissed my pants...in anger, that is. I have NO idea how the story turns out now. I've been holding out on getting any spoilers, hoping that some day Sega might bring them out for the PS or something, but my hopes are fading. As a matter of fact, it's my personal opinion that Sega's single worst business decision ever was not bringing the other two chapters of SF3 to the US.
EDIT: For Satoshi, it's good to know that there is at least one other MMCafeer that has played PD. If you enjoy this game, do try to track down PD2 and PD Saga. It won't be easy, as both are rare (especially Saga). I know that I'll be getting an Xbox (when the price goes down) only to play PD Orta and JSRF.

Ah, I understand a bit better now. I like beat 'em ups, too, but I generally gauge them more on how much I like the enemy and level design. As for the differences, they're minimal, I'm just a freaky purist. BTW, you know how to use the big skeleton guy? I forget his name, been a long time since I've played it.

Ah. Well, I'll throw them out some time. If you like Gundam, there's a nifty little Famicom game of this genre featuring Gundam characters, it's a lot of fun.

Perhaps I should say I liked it a lot less than Shining Force 1 and 2. It's still a solid game. The only game that is mentioned here I'd say is "worse than the others" is Dragon Force 2, which really disappointed me. (BTW, who did you use in Dragon Force? I'm a bit Goldark fan, here, for obvious reasons...)
Anyway, scenario 1 is the best in the trio that is Shining Force 3, IMO, although scenario 3 gives it a run for its money. And I've played all the Panzer Dragoons, too, ha ha ha. ;D I just don't feel like anything more needs to be said about them; they're notable enough as it is.

The Undead Warrior? Um, are you asking how to control him in story mode, or are you asking how to earn him in Vs. mode? You control him in story mode using the x button. His commands are follow me, don't do anything, go on without me, and "berserk". In order to use him in Vs. mode, you first must earn every other character in the game. He isn't playable at all in story mode.

Um...I don't remember who I used, to be honest.
Kinda off topic here, but since you seem to have played every videogame there is (okay I'm exaggerating a bit, but you're highly knowledgeable) have you ever played a game called Alien Soldier for the Mega Drive? It was made by Treasure, and it was never released in the US, hence my mentioning the Mega Drive. If you have, what do you think about it?
