Small corrrection: The 4MB games are also playable with 1MB cartridge. My intent with the estimated price tag is to provide helpful information for retro gamers - not scalpers!. The pricing is for the US version based on ebay.com. If the game never released in US then I picked the price for the PAL version and so on. Originally I planed to make 15x list but the Sega Saturn has way to many great looking 2D games 🥰 ..and I could add even more games to the list.

I know that Saturn games have come up quite a bit in price but a good 85% of my games are Japanese imports. I live the USA and got my Saturn shortly after it was "dead", and not only did I learn that I missed out on a TON of amazing games that never came to the States but that through the years I have been able to add them to my collection for a lot cheaper than the US releases which were very limited in number. People, I am going to say this to you: do NOT pay the price listed for 97% of the games shown here. Yes, they are pretty good ones, NO, they are NOT worth that money. To use a phrase from SNES Drunk, "You need to play this game anyway you can" and he's right. Emulation is VERY good for the Saturn, ignore anyone who says it's terrible as I can personally guarantee they have not tried it in over 10 yrs at this point (seriously, I can't tell you how many people I have come across who have legit said and believed this and last tried the first SSJ version over a decade ago). Pseudo Carts are EXCELLENT, lets you burn CD-R's and play them on your Saturn so you can also backup your own collection and get 4MB support for supported games. ODE's: Screw Terra Onion for obvious reasons (go look it up, Google is your friend) but I have a no solder Satiator and love it even though it's not been updated in over a year at this point and has some glitches still, but whatever I cant play is super minor and I will either take the one game off my shelf that wont load and play it via the Action Replay Cart or Pseudo. These games are amazing, don't pay crazy prices, just play and enjoy them! Also the RetroTINK 5X is freaking amazing and I love mine paired with HD Retrovision cables *hugs them*

Depends on many different factors - CRT TV model, picture calibration, 240p source resolution (not 480i), etc. When done right, scanlines are gorgeous on original CRT.

This is not doing justice at all to the CRT glory days.

I get the impression those are fake scanlines and y0ou didn't actually record this on a real crt. The scanlines are distracting. Old consumer tv's usually had a bit of blending and color bleed. Which made them seem to look better than on a modern tv/monitor. Additionally 16bit era machines and back didn't have true transparency so they often had transparent pixels which when displayed on a crt monitor/tv gave the illusion of transparency. I'm not sure if the Saturn had actual transparency or not, but still, they usually made them for old tube tv's. I set my res down to 480, because at least the scanlines are less distracting.

@@marcbasil This is a controversial issue, because commercially there is no doubt that the Saturn was a failure from the beginning of the project to the end. The duo of RISC processors combined with Sega's proprietary media doomed this hardware and the good rapport the company had with game developers. The piracy of games in CD-ROM format and the much simpler hardware of the PS1 simply annihilated the competition and Sega suffered a lot of damage while following the rules faithfully, with the Saturn being a very difficult console to break protection locks and program to this day.

AFAIK, the saturn CAN do proper 2D transparency, even 3D transparency when the dev is able and willing to jump through some hoops and put up with the saturns quirks - but apparently not many devs bothered or knew how to do it. And most games made in the US or japan were probably made with NTSC composite video in mind, which can generate a "transparency" effect out of dithered fake transparency. I assume that was "good enough" ... the problem these days is that this hack does not work with any higher quality video signal like PAL composite, RGB or svideo.

@@KenjiUminoproblem is that SEGA split the graphics circuit onto two chips. Atari Jaguar has everything on Tom and can draw shadows on the floor. Jaguar homebrew seems to favour 2d. I would love to see a demo with pre-multiplied alpha and where a RISC software renderer (a la 32x) multiplies the background at the affected pixels. Super Mario ghosts on Jaguar. How fast is access to VRAM for the second SH2 ?

How is anyone supposed to collect for this console with prices like that? They need a Saturn Mini desperately. All these games look so fun

Dude there are several options for the Saturn that allow you to play your own burned copies 😂 no need for a Saturn mini
