Nice video showing of the wheel and some obscure racers! I saw your post on twitter and wanted to check ut out. Man, Need For Speed was one of the first racers that blew me away with its realism and how the cars had such a great weighty-feel to the cars, which truly gives them such purpose in their paths. Definitely an amazing game on the Saturn. Road Rash is one of the all time greats, I adore that series. I didnt know it was a port of the 3DO version! I finally got a copy of Sega Rally Championship and that game is blowing me away. I agree that Manx TT is pretty solid as well. I'll have to check out Initial D, Highway 2000 and the other Japanese racers. Also had no idea Race Drivin' was on the Saturn! It looks like a good and unique version of the game. Well done showcase! Great work!

Thank you for the recommendations! Kinda daunting to research the majority of Segaretros list of games the wheel used. Your vid helped a lot!

Great video, appreciate the tier list at the end!

Too often now, I hear people try to defend Sonic R. But your commentary was spot on. It was exactly what professional reviews were saying when the game was released and the rest of us when we tried it ourselves. 😂

Very nice video as always! Ever since you tweeted about this wheel I've wanted one just to play outrun and Sega Rally, but now I have even more bangers to put on the list, like road rash. I didn't even know it was on the Saturn to be honest. Some of these games looked like absolute shit LOL. Maybe for $10 I'll get one just for curiosities sake.

Thanks man! Yeah the mix of racing games is all over the place on Saturn but the good ones at least make up for the rest haha

[@RetroSpectors]

Outrun is fantastic with the wheel✌

Intersting Saturn racing games Dezm! Heard of some awful like Sonic R - this is a complete disaster have to say. However, this game brought Tales Doll character into horror history of the Sonic lore ha ha ) Road Rash, Wipeout and NFS are seemd just a good 3DO and PS1 ports. Havnt played Initial D but this game is quite popular i know alongside with Sega Rally and Daytona USA. Zero Champ Doozy is a dragracing-datesim? Thats odd but kinda cool mix :D Played a bit in Impact Racing and its too bad for shooting racers, cant say much about 3DO's Crash N Burn (played too little) but i guess tracks are too tight for such battles. Played on real Saturn system not too much but guess i need to test some games with that steering wheel accessory deafinately, thanks for reccomendations and some obscure classics Dezm. Hope you doing well and always watching your new videos! :D

[@dezm101]

thank you so much for the amazing comment! Tails Doll is a big character in the creepy pasta scene haha that is a very good point. Glad you liked the video and hope you can try out some of these with that steering wheel! Its addictive fun for sure

I just got the controller for the sega Saturn racers! Does it feel like you’re in an arcade? I’m trying to make my room feel like it’s an arcade! The cool fighting shooting (side scrolling) And the other shooters (rail shooters!) I also forgot to mention puzzle games like Puyo Puyo and puzzle bobble! And don’t forget the racers! I also tried to add stuffed plush toys do decorate my section from South Park Rick and morty (if you remember those in arcades!) And a foreign show from France called “oggy and the cockroaches!” I like Joey and Dee Dee!

[@matthewcb1970]

Hardcore 4x4 was the worst game I ever played on the Saturn. Why it was approved for release is still a mystery...

[@CasperEgas]

I don't like this wheel at all, I usually just use the controller.

[@dezm101]

the controller is definitely alot less hassle
