/vr/ - Retro Games

OP, BulkSlash is love.

I am starting to think the quality this Saturn thread is rather questionable, considering the growing amount of love shown for rather so-so games.

You can like them all you want. Hell I like a lot of really broken games myself. It just fascinates me that people can have favourites such as Sonic R or 3D Blast.

But maybe it fascinates others that my favourite Saturn game is Bulk Slash, I dunno.

I got my Saturn because:
the Sega ports are all fantastic (VF2, Virtual On, Fighting Vipers (get the Japanese version), etc -- this was before the HD ports came out, Die Hard Arcade is brilliant (although, load times)) and generally piss cheap
shmups (Galactic Attack AKA RayForce is brilliant as fuck)
imports (Bulk Slash is probably one of the best 3D games I've played that generation -- it's like Ranger X on the Genesis, but in 3D -- you don't need to understand moon; Keio Flying Squadron 2 (the JP version) is pretty fun if not really easy; loads of people like Assault Suits Leynos (but I want to sell my copy, the convoy escort mission is awful); Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru is badass as fuck and pretty fun but costs several limbs)
Oh, and emulation is kind of dicks for it. SSF has 6 frames of input lag (I really want to know what the fuck it's doing, I haven't seen any other emulator so anything like that) and the other emulators are both slower and less accurate (Yabause is awful. If it wasn't for the input lag, SSF would be perfect. It's the only way I've played Bulk Slash, Taromaru, and Radiant Silvergun because they cost from a bit of money to ALL OF YOUR MONEY).

So yeah, Saturn's pretty worth it. You NEED to get an import cartridge like the Action Replay 4-in-1 Plus though.

also, don't even bother with any Neo Geo ports, better off emulating than playing them on Saturn (or PS1 for that matter)
