The Sega Saturn is one of my favourite consoles and contains some of my favourite gams of all time. It didn't get a huge following in the west, most people getting the PSX because of it's 3D capabilities and of course more support from developers. I reckon it's a pretty underappreciated machine and is definitely worth checking out, in my opinion there's never been a more playable rally game then Sega Rally. With emulation coming along well for it I thought I'd start an essentials list for all those that either use emulation or are thinking about getting a modded Saturn.
I've started it off with my favourite games (I know it's a huge list already, but there's just so many great games!) and as more Saturn fans vote I'll start arranging it in vote order.
