Best Sega Saturn Games??

[Memorex]

I have a saturn that i bought for $5 off of a friend like 3 years ago and have probably played it twice, i have sonic 3d and nights into dreams with the controller, and that is it.

What else should get without unloading my band account, because i know some saturn games are a little pricey now.

Thanks

Dragon Force, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Bulk Slash, and Guardian Heroes :D

he said without unloading his bank account. XD 3 out of 4 of those all regularly go for 50+ unless imported.

good, inexpensive games:

Shooters
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon Zwei
Darius Gaiden
GunGriffon

Action/adventure
Astal
Three Dirty Dwarves
Burning Rangers
Rayman
Quake

Fighters
Virtual On
Fighter's Megamix

Light Gun Shooters:
Virtua Cop 1&2
House of the Dead

Other
Saturn Bomberman

Those're all relatively cheap. Under $30 and below $20 in many cases. If you buy a pro-action replay(enables import games) then your selection is drastically increased. If you're a 2D fighter fan or a 2D shooter fan then you basically have no choice but to get one.
Also many games that have expensive US versions, like all of the ones Aberforth mentioned, have much cheaper Japanese releases because they enjoyed lengthier print runs there.

My favorite Saturn games are:

3 Dirty Drawves
Astal
FIghters Megamix
Daytona USA
Panzer Dragoon 2

I dont know how the games still hold up, because its been years since I played any of these games.

Sega really needs to put Panzer Dragoon Saga on the VC

Also, if you still have some friends in Japan and they know what they're looking for, you can get an insane number of quality games for next-to-nothing. My friends got about 9 different titles in Japan that would end up costing around $130 or so off of eBay. The big difference is that they only ended up paying around $18 for their haul.

Basically, if you don't mind attempting to read Japanese or faking your way through it in a game, you can save a massive amount of money. I ended up getting Dragon Force for a good $6 that way, not to mention Guardian Heroes, and a bunch of others.

Getting a 4-in-1 or 5-in-1 cart is a bit pricey at first but the end result is fantastic. Pay a bit more, save a fortune later.

Shining Force 3 would be my addition. I'd say Radiant Silvergun, but it's ungodly expensive still in Japan, not to mention the prices it sells for here. This makes me wish I never got rid of my Saturn, I had all the greats...
