Classic Game Room buys a SEGA SATURN video game console

It's an ADVENTURE!! Classic Game Room buys a SEGA SATURN video game console system!!! This action packed behind the scenes adventure film follows Classic Game Room to the front lines of video editing all the way into Squirrel Hill to buy a used Sega Saturn. The Saturn was not one of Sega's most successful video game consoles, in fact you could say it failed horribly. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't some great games for it like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Virtua Fighter 2, Darius Gaiden, DoDonPachi, Doom, Shenmue, Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon Zwei II, Sega Rally, Shining Force III, Snatcher and Sonic Jam. It is well known for 2D games like vertical and horizontal scrolling shooters, or SHMUPS like Gunbird. The SHMUP genre was never as popular in the United States and most people didn't give a hoot about the Saturn because they were too busy playing Playstation back in the mid to late 1990's. Well, whatever. Classic Game Room certainly doesn't care if most other people thumbed their nose at it, we're getting one, and here's the movie depicting the journey to Saturn!!!!

[@abdelali9279]

Simpler times, when retro gaming was only getting obsolete technology for fun, and you get things that you really liked, before hidden gems, scalpers, hoarding collections for the sake of just owning and when Mark said, "this can be found dirt cheap". It's ironic I didn't had money growing up to afford the old games and consoles and I hoped to grow and get them for cheap once they were considered just old and obsolete, now there still some of them that I still cannot afford thanks to scalpers.

I have bought a PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS & 3DS & Nintendo Wii during all these years & EVERY time I was excited & happy as hell.

[@Broyale26]

+Jacob C. Pricey if it is a US NTSC one because to play japanese games on it you will need to spend some more money for a Action Replay cart. You are better off buying a Japanese Saturn for the same price and save some coin. You are not missing anything on the US side, trust me. Japanese releases of US games are actually cheaper.

When you get involved in the Sega Saturn. It's a whole thing. It's not like normal consoles, a lot of your games are imports and then for its time it's a console with an internal storage. So you learn how to swap battery's from the battery bay. You learn what action replays are so on and so fourth. All the classic 2d fighters and shmups that are available. The whole 9. I got a Saturn/collecting 10 months ago. Didn't grow up with one , had the psone at the time and was just burning the shit outa games lent to me or rented. So I am very familiar with the psone
