The Top 100 Sega Saturn Games In 10 Minutes

[@iamthew0lf]

I remember when the Saturn came out, and it was this mythological console and you only knew like one kid that had it. It was like your friend’s cousin or something and you would just go over and have a blast playing a bunch of stuff you didn’t own or had never heard of. Such great times.

[@sdmayday]

No, I just remember all the times when friends came over to my place and I would show them all the great games that they should know about, but somehow did not. It was hard for me comprehend why I was living happiliy in a Sega bubble while everyone around me simply behaved as if said bubble did not even exist. It was always fun to show them Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally when all they had seen was Toshinden and they got bored of Ridge Racers one track already. So worth it! :D

You were wise! Having spent a lot of time with all 3 consoles to make the videos on my channel, I gotta say that the N64 has probably aged the worst. While there are definitely some gems in the N64 lineup - I would claim that for overall average quality, the Saturn is quite a bit ahead.

I never knew anyone who had one, but it looks like the games were awesome and it would have been fun. This era was amazing.

It warms my heart to see Death Tank Zwei on here (even though it's not a "real" game). It's really great. I would play duels VS my father the weekends I got home when in our equivalent of high school (and the intro song was my ringtone for him for a LONG while). He was given handicaps in the form of me not being allowed to use all weapons whereas he could use whatever. I want to see it ported to PC BADLY. Yes there was an Xbox 360 version a few years ago, that seemingly did not get a lot of love, but all those fancy graphics and stuff isn't needed. Just port the game as it is/was and with netplay and that's all you need.
