Sega Saturn
Here we have all the games in the Sega Saturn Section.
Sega Saturn
Sports
ST-V arcade athletics fest made a real impression on the Saturn with smooth polygon graphics and all the button bashing thrills and spills of the arcade. Where as running events are simple button bashers, timing on the hurdles for example requires precision jumping and a break from frantic button pummelling. Comes into its own in multiplayer.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Cavernous underground tunnels and sprawling over land arenas to explore in this fine 3D shooter with exploratory elements. Picked up quite a following in the day.
Sega Saturn
Stimulation
Expertly realised animation shows the power of hardware in the right hands in this yellow label adventure. All is not what it seems on the island of Desire.

A Bit Special
Rumoured to be an exploration into the possibility of doing VF 3 on the Saturn, J-Pop music video editor for fans of the top selling artist. Involvement of the legendary AM2 on the project.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Pinball game with good variation in the four tables including the Roman gladiator theme, feudal Japan theme and fantasy based themed tables keeping the accurate ball mechanics in a fresh environment. Very solid game of flipper. Just try not to nudge the TV too much in the heat of a game.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Very pleasant platform romp reminiscent of the Super Famicom in its pomp, apart from the look is souped up to suit the Saturn format and the bosses are cut loose from the second dimension!
Sega Saturn
RPG
Fantasy RPG with heavy influence on battles between warring fractions. Sega style anime graphics and multiple storylines.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Be a winner in the game of life as players progress round the board dealing with the many dilemmas life may throw up. Initially players decide their appearance, gender and type of car ina nice nod to personalise the game to the players character. Known in Japanese as the DX Jinsei Game.
Sega Saturn
Action
Utilising the Titan technology making for a smooth home transition of ‘Die Hard Arcade’. Gradually battle your way up the skyscraper to rescue the president’s daughter with the help of some smart weaponry along the way including bazookas. A refreshingly good tie in with unrelenting pace.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Like a Miyazaki anime, ecological disaster stalks this dating sim with a look of Sakura Wars and a feel of Tokimeki Memorial. The games characters are skilled in magical arts, as if the science of romance wasn’t tricky enough.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Town management simulation set during the Edo period with period setting characters sporting the tradition haircuts and a well realised isometric town in which to chat to the townsfolk and chase geisha.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Huge intro as you’d expect from anime experts Pioneer. Makoto must use his mysterious machine to save El Hazard again.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Kenji Endo’s sequel to D certainly has its share of spooky moments onboard the space station with the eerie silence and smooth FMV clips cranking up the tension. A title that heralded the new 32 Bit era.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Beautifully illustrated anime cut scenes in this epic adventure.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
The first release from the Fatal Fury series to make it across to the Saturn and this heavyweight weighs in without a ram cart meaning a few frames of animation get lost in the conversion process from the whopping Neo Geo big brother. Still an admirable effort though as SNK come out from their corner fists flailing.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
A dream title for Sega fight fans which sees the creme of Virtua Fighter pitched head on against the elite of Fighting Vipers. Choc-a-bloc with hidden eggs which gives the game longevity comparable to VF’s Shun. Mention must go to Kumachan, a Genki legend.

Wrestling from the kings of grapple Human. Genki wouldn’t fancy getting pinned off the Canadian judo killer Joe nor coming up against the mysterious moves of the Hong Kong Dragon God much either!

So confident are the developers of this fishing sim. into making you want to head off for a wee fishing holiday, it is sponsored by Japan Airlines and Nikko Hotels! Four modes: lake fishing, boat fishing, competitive match fishing and fishing in Saipan!
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
This disk has four demos from Bomberman SS, Sakura Wars, Virtua On and Tengai Makyo. A nice curio for the dedicated Saturn conehead.
Sega Saturn
RPG
Well loved series that spanned the console generations successfully with its fine, fantasy RPG gameplay and plenty of emotive moments that pull on the heart strings as much as the orchestra has pulled on the cello strings.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Sunsoft has fine arcade heritage and a history of fin mahjong games and both are on show here as gamers enjoy a fine table simulation that heavily emphasises the Chinese nature of the game. Three playable versions: Shikinjoh, Rong Rong and Shanghai.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Plenty of samples, demos and information to showcase the Saturns merits and releases with Series of Dreams, Telecom Town and the Sega Saturn Masterpiece Collection vying for the dedicated Saturn fans attention.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Features a real mull of games including a razor sponsored breakout clone, a puzzle game and an adventure entitled Big Brother, adverts for Japanese products, interviews of the Virtua Fighter team and most interestingly of all a digital comic version of Virtua Fighter…
Sega Saturn
Sports
High school baseball game with some nice 3D animation for the Saturn, although admittedly the modelling does feel a little like a Virtua Fighter style demo due to the similarity of the players to artists models. With this being a huge attraction in Japan, all the high school teams are covered and there are thousands of them for devotees and ex-JETs to look up. Plays a good game covering all bases.
Sega Saturn
Board Game
Incredibly atmospheric representation of the Japanese table game Shogi due to the cracking avatars and superb voice acting. Mind you, Genki wouldnt like to meet a few of the players down a back alley having just knocked them out of the competition in the Tokyo Dome.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Giant robot themed first person shooter in which you take on the Ghen race out in space. Plenty of cheesy FMV with a few switches thrown in to keep you on your toes.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
Battle simulator with pretty decent (for the Saturn at least) polygon graphics.
Sega Saturn
Simulation
War simulator trading in the original’s polygons for rendered sprites graphics.
