Wow, a topic about Dark Savior that's currently running! And right when I just started playing this game again! I'm so glad I now have a computer that's capable of running SSF emulator~
I have lots of fond memories of this game. Back when I was a teenager and a Saturn fanboy, I bought this game and found it pretty fun. It's not the greatest game out there and it has it flaws, but for a 32-bit game it sure had some awesome music and graphics. I actually liked that it had 2D sprites rather than 3D polygonal characters running around. I'll admit the combat system was nothing to write home about but the fact you could capture enemies to use as playable characters in future battles did spice things up a bit.
I also liked the whole concept of different parallels and even the parallels themselves had alternating paths depending on the different decisions you took throughout each playthrough. It makes me happy that I can play this game with save states this time as it'll make it easier to re-explore this game.
I'm just now finding out about all the content that was censored from the Western release and I have to say it's pretty surprising to see what we missed out on. The chocolate bars were really cigarettes, the "jalapeno juice" was really booze, the magazines were full of porn, and JJ's "cheerleaders" were really playboy bunnies. I really hope someone can make a hack of Dark Savior that restores all the censored stuff, or a fan translation of the Japanese version.

When I played this game when I was younger, I never understood that scene where Garian starts weirding out and nearly attacks the kid. Not once did I ever think it had anything to do with the drink he had earlier. Now I understand, it all makes sense now.

There's this one poster on GameFAQs who posted links to a whole bunch of these scans, including that one, but unfortunately they're all defunct yet some of them still exist in Google Images as miniaturized versions. I'm curious myself as to where or how you got that scan and if you have more.

Back when I used to play this game on an actual Saturn, I was able to beat the whole game, including Silver Castle, without save states, so you can count me as one who got through that part.

Huh... I don't think I remember this Miranda chick anywhere in the game... Where do you find her?

I always thought Kay was a pretty hot chick~ Am I the only one here who supports GarianXKay?
