[Essentials] Sega Saturn

[Zense]

Games i would recommend on Saturn? Now that i have one...

• Die Hard Arcade. It feels criminal this wasn't ported anywhere else. Not anywhere i could find, anyway.

Only in japan though: PS2 Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 26: Dynamite Deka (The non-licensed name of the game) and later the PSN.

Btw is this list still being curated by someone??

Money.
Lots and lots of money.

There's nothing more essential when it comes to Saturn.
But seriously, I hope this thing gets decent emulation before 2030, otherwise, any of the games of this thing will never be enjoyed again by anyone. I have one that doesn't work quite well, with those prices, it stays inside a box most of the time, I can't get good games without starving for months.
More than recommend games for the system, I recommend to stay away from it if you are beginning. You won't be able to get much fun from it unless you mod it to accept copies or add an SD card reader, which isn't much of an option either since those mods don't come cheap either.

its better to buy a 200$ ODE like the MODE or the fenrir (idk the price) then keep paying hundreds of $$ for games tho

Actually, its better to go to the dark web and download an emulator.

Or modchip + burn backups. I installed a chip in my Saturn in '99 or 2000, can't remember for sure. Still works great. Never had trouble reading backups, that disc drive is the best.

Saturn emulators, even today, aren't the best. Kronos does well, but def not perfect. Especially at playing games straight from disc.. I have a couple Model 2 Saturns coming though that I am going to mod (phantom/FRAM/RF BIOS) til the 21 pin Fenrir gets released. I would just buy a mode but I also plan to get an SSDS3 for PC Engine so yeah. Little pricey lol
