It is an aspirational item that I'll never earn enough to have. I remember when it was $30USD and I couldn't gather that much money, then it was $80USD and that was impossibly costly for a game, before long it easily shot over $100USD into $250USD and that was insane already and when I finally got a job that paid $8.50/hr it became a $1000 game. The more I want it the further away it gets. It is my favorite game on the MegaCD still but that SegaCD version will forever be unaffordable.

Next time I should use royalty-free music. Should redo it now that I have better capture equipment.

Yeah, I've been after the SegaCD version, and it was always out of grasp in price. Followed it from $30, $90, $150, $300, $500, and last I saw it was over $800USD. When I think I could get it, the price would just spike. The console is an Aiwa CSD-GM1, which is a converted boom-box Aiwa made (grey) to a Mega Drive + MegaCD (blue). Aiwa used to be a nice brand for home audio, not quite premium but a solid brand. Sega partnered with Aiwa and JVC/Victor for CDs. That system is front loading for Mega Drive cartridges at the bottom (underneath the cassette) and MegaCDs load from the top. It could be used as a standard radio/tape/CD player, but it requires that grey cable connected in the back for full Sega Mega Drive+MegaCD functionality.

Could you have the shell of the broadband adapter 3D-printed into a somewhat matching color? Yeah, I want both the WU and the 20" BVM. Those broadcast monitors just never existed in my region. I think everywhere around here switched to LCDs as soon as they were available, as I remember hospitals had those screens with poor contrast and ghosting everywhere.

The Saturn is a CD-ROM based system but these days there are plenty of ODEs that you can play off of a SD-card or USB storage solution. There's also the emulation route and you can simply just mount an ISO from your SSD.

It is one of my favorite games for one of my favorite consoles. It does demonstrate transparencies well but there are many other games on the system that does it as well.

This is pretty cool. A bit technical, but nice seeing the tricks artists/programmers used with the hardware.

Probably Keio Yuugekitai: Katsugekihen. Was one of the first games I got for the system and for $10USD it was amazing. The game is funny and amusing with its charms. Genuinely one that I still laugh at. The 2D effects and graphics were very impressive to me. I always wanted the SegaCD game, but it was always out of my budget even back in 95 when it was $30USD, so I had to snatch up the sequel when I had the money and I am glad I did. It is probably one of the primary reasons the Saturn is one of my most favorite video game consoles.
