Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean
|
RPG
|
A turn-based RPG about some kid, Pike, who saw his parents get assraped by monsters when he was an infant and afterwards he was raised by furries (harpies). Then, his adopted sister is turned to stone and it's up to him and a TALKING SWORD to find the cure and stop those evil magicians from turning the world's races against each other and resurrecting the ancient god, Vlag. YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS GAME.

Platformer
|
A neat platformer regarding goddesses, life, creation, and crap like that. Very fun as you go around punching enemies, throwing objects at them, or use you fucking pinball of a bird to destroy them. Sold poorly due to the new age of gaming.
|
|
|
Baku Baku
|
Puzzle
|
This is a strange tile-based puzzle game that came out on different systems. The concept revolves around feeding animals food, which helps you beat the other player somehow. Unlike the other versions, this one has extra modes and prettier graphics.You might like it if you've played something like Puyo Puyo.

|
Battle Arena Toshinden URA
|
Fighting
|
A fighting game with swords. What more can you ask for? Although, in this game, you can no longer pussy your way out of every damn attack by dodge rolling.
|
|
|
Bug!
|
Platformer
|
Like the title says. Your a Bug and you do alot of 2.5D platforman. Has a level where you can race sonic the hedgehog in his sonic & knuckles sprite. Really shoddy graphics compared to now. Has a sequel BUG TOO!
|
|
|
Bug Too!
|
Platformer
|
Sequel to Bug! More platforman and whatnot.
|
|
|
Burning Rangers
|
Third-person shooter
|
In the near future, the world will face an ultimate evil. FUCKING FIRES. It's up to you to save all the citizens, collect crystals, and extinguish those flames with a man on a jetpack. Has neat platforming as well as TPS. It plays better than it sounds.
|
|
|
Clockwork Knight
|
Platformer
|
A platformer with a toy-theme. Probably the first game to pioneer a key as a weapon which is a nice little history lesson. Pretty cool, but a bit average. Still fun though.
|
|
|
Clockwork Knight 2
|
Platformer
|
More of the same. You can play as your rival from the first as well.
|
|
|
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
|
3D Platforman / FUCK YEAH CROC
|
Awesome platformer from fox interactive and argonaut. You'll have a really great time with this game, and the only downside is croc's control. (This fucker moves like a tank.) Also on ps1, pc and game boy color. (gbc port is shitty as hell.)
|
|
|
Darius Gaiden
|
Shoot 'em up
|
Fuck yeah, Darius. Guide your ship through multiple paths, fighting giant fish robots along the way. Also, this is one of ZUN's favorite games so all you Touhou friends owe an obligation to play this.
|
|
|
Dark Savior
|
Platformer / Puzzle / Action
|
Unrelated to Landstalker, despite playing similarly at times. Noted for having segments of "platform jumping, puzzle adventure, and fighting". Curiously each of these segments are seperated from each other. The most notable factor about this game are its multiple scenarios. Getting to each depends on the outcome the prologue scenario, which the player may deliberately or accidentally choose a course of action. This offers a neat bit of replay value.

Beat 'em up
|
Cops fight terrorists using hand-to-hand skills, along with whatever forms of weaponry they come across. Quick Time Events give you a potential heads up on enemies. The sequel is known as Dynamite Cop and on the Dreamcast.

Dragonball Z The Legend
|
Fighting
|
Great DBZ game for everyone whos a fan of the show. Showed the whole story for the first time in America literally YEARS before the show even finished on our shores. Also available on the PS1.
|
|
|
Dragon Force
|
RTS / Tactics
|
Fuck year, Dragon Force. Nothing to do with that band (this came out years before), this strategy game has you choose one of 8 kingdoms to play as and follow each of their stories. Each kingdom has a certain type of troop they specialize with.
|
|
|
Duke Nukem 3D
|
FPS
|
Duke in his 3D outing. About as good as you'd expect on a PC, just with a Saturn controller. Always bet on Duke!
|
|
|
Earthworm Jim 2
|
Platformer
|
A slight touch-up of the 16-bit versions, the most notable addition being the higher quality audio. Also features a really goofy looking CG Jim in certain cinematic scenes, but as 2D as ever in-game (Hey, it WAS the 90's. Everyone and their dog jumped on the 3D Gravytrain.).
|

Exactly what it says on the box. There's also some unlockable characters and outfits as well.
|
|
|
Galactic Attack / RayForce
|
Shoot 'em up
|
A superb shooter for the Saturn with many power-ups and a lock on system. A game to try out if you're a fan for shooters or just own a Saturn in general.
|
|
|
Golden Axe: The Duel
|
Fighting
|
Not too shabby, but a curious genre shift. Give it a shot if you like the series. Just don't expect any beat 'em up-an action.
|
|
|
Guardian Heroes
|
Beat 'em up / RPG
|
YES. You know it, you love it, if you don't, you're gonna. Choose your characters from an assorted cast. The game has multi-planar combat with groups of foes, but also makes things interesting by having multiple routes of stages to go to, meaning you have a whole variety of playthroughs to take on. The RPG elements are mainly just boosting your skills up through stats. It's all action otherwise.
|
|
|
House of the Dead
|
Rail Shooter
|
Shoot zombies, RELOAD, Suffer like G did, RELOAD, etc. Had an amusing spin-off known as Typing of the Dead, which plays with similar stages, but typing stuff to shoot zombies, as opposed to using guns.
|
|
|
Keio Flying Squadron 2
|
Platformer
|
Sequel to the Sega CD shmup. Concentrates much more on platforming than shmup action though. You might like it more or less because of this, but it still manages to keep its Parodius-esque spirit alive and well.
|
|
|
Loaded
|
Top Down Shooter
|
THIS GAME IS BRO AS FUCK. Bascially you play as one of a handful of characters killing guards and insane patients in some sort of mental hospital. THATS THE 1ST GODDAMMNED LEVEL. The music is annoying and repetitive as fuck, but extremely goddammned catchy. It has multiplayer, so you and a bro can fuck shit up together. Also on PS1
|
|
|
Magic Knight Rayearth
|
Action RPG
|
FUCK YEAH. Don't know about MKR? You don't know shit about 90's anime. That aside, this action-RPG is relatively solid. Each of your girls has different specialties in weapons and elements, making for a slightly more strategic experience. Plays akin to a Zelda/Ys type of game. Has cutscenes along with that Working Designs charm. Notorious for taking FUCKING FOREVER to come out in US.
|
|
|
Marvel Super Heroes
|
Fighting
|
Classic Capcom fightan but instead of X-Men you have more than just X-Men; stuff like Spiderman, Captain America, The Hulk, etc. Also in America on the Saturn.
|
|
|
Mr. Bones
|
Platformer
|
You play as a undead jazz blues musician who has to stop an undead group of assholes who want to take over the world. Of course like every platformer you gotta help Mr. Bones kick evils ass back to hell. A fun game for anyone into the platformer scene.

MegaMan 8 Anniversary Collector's Edition
|
Action / Platformer
|
Megaman 8, same as the Playstation, but with a few extras such as a mini-stage with Woodman, and Cutman has his own too. Also, has a far superior Tengu Man stage song, though you're free to disagree. Really don't know why this version got cut out of The Anniversary Collection on PS2/GC/XB, its the superioir version.
|
|
|
Megaman X3
|
Action / Platformer
|
Mostly the same as the SNES version, but now has a few cutscenes, along with a delicious CD-quality soundtrack, with damn near every song being remixed or rearranged. Available on the PS1 but both of these remixed versions were released in europe and Japan only. But dont get rageworthy yet, it was ported to the X Collection on GC/PS2 so you can see its enhanced version in america for the first time.
|
|
|
Megaman X4
|
Action / Platformer
|
Unlike Megaman 8 its an exact port of the Playstation version. Still a fun game, has a great soundtrack. The voices are kind of hit and miss. But hey, it was a 90's Capcom game ya know? Also available on the Mega Man X Collection for PS2/Gamecube so u can nostalgia all over again.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy

All the characters from the first 3 MK games in one solid pack! Just look at dat list! Fun too if you love MK.
|
|
|
Night Warriors: Darkstalker's Revenge
|
Fighting
|
Sequel to the first Darkstalkers. It has a crazy cast of characters that are really detailed. It's only on the Saturn so PS1 fans who want all 3 games will just have to get a Saturn.
|
|
|
Nights Into Dreams
|
Action-Adventure
|
Fly through rings and shit. Known for being one of the "killer apps" of the system back in the day. Has a pseudo-sequel of sorts on the Wii, but opinions are mixed on that one, while damn near everyone likes this.
Also ported to PS2 including a version with enhanced graphics, and the regular Saturn (crappy visuals) aswell. Therefore is recommended to get the PS2 version. However, it's NTSC-J, which means japan only. So it's more likely hard to get in a physical form.

Christmas Nights
|
Action-Adventure

Nights, but with christmas themed outfits, rings, and stages. Happy Holidays!
You can play as Sonic in this one!

|
Panzer Dragoon
|
Rail Shooter
|
You ride a dragon and shoot down enemies. Fuck yes. Each of these were known for being relatively hard to find, but also rather fun.
Also on the 2500 Collection for PS2 with enchanced graphics, as well as the option for the original graphics. 2500 collection games are Japan only though!
|
|
|
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei
|
Rail Shooter
|
More dragonan and shootan.
|
|
|
Panzer Dragoon Saga
|
RPG
|
Yet more Dragonan and shootan! Now with RPG elements! The next game in the series, the very rare Panzer Dragoon Orta, was on Xbox. This game is also hard as fuck to find in America with very few copies made.
|
|
|
Parodius
|
Cute 'em up
|
Konami's self-parody of Gradius. Features similar stages and enemy types, but disguised as much goofier variants, such as a cat-battleship, and sweets factory, and more. Has higher quality sound and multiplayer, IIRC.
|
|
|
Rayman
|
Platformer
|
Fuck year, Rayman! This game showed us all that 2D gaming wasn't dead. Fun as fuck but it can also be hard as hell sometimes. Has a awesome sequel. Game also available on PS1, and the Atari Jaguar.
|
|
|
Resident Evil
|
Survival Horror
|
About the same as the Playstation version. Its Just as good no complaints so you can have a fun time killing zombies on your saturn.
|
|
|
Saturn Bomberman
|
Action
|
Hell yeah. Has a classic story mode that can be played with 1 or 2 players, Dinosaur helpers to ride on in place of Rooeys, and of course, battle mode! This battle mode is famous for having characters from different Hudson series, such as Master Higgins and Bonk, allowing 8 players, and even having online mode! Technically, you can play with 10 players, but this disables some of the power-ups, disables dinosaurs, and alters the stage and players slightly. It's up to you on whether you'll want to go with 8 or 10.

Shining Force 3

Similar to Star Fox, but more fast paced, more power-ups, and more intense. Like Star Fox, you talk to your buds throughout the mission to make you feel like you aren't playing alone.

Sonic R
|
Racing / Tails Doll / Can you feel the sunshine?
|
This game isn't as good as other Sonic games but is still fun to play with others. It has a GOOD soundtrack (if you like Brit pop) and does an original job with its racing technique rather than rip off Mario Kart or use some shitty boards. Also on PC, and on the Gamecube's (PS2 in Europe/Japan as well) Sonic Gems Collection. FUN FACT: This is the game that created that whole creepypasta Tails doll/can you feel the sunshine thing.
|
|
|
Sonic Jam
|
Platformer
|
Has the 4 main Genesis games (1, 2, 3, Sonic And Knuckles) along with full lock-on ability for Sonic and Knuckles. Works with 2 and 3 normally, and unlocks the Blue Sphere extended-mini-game with Sonic 1. There's also a 3D Sonic world to explore a bit, but nothing on Adventure's level.
Not actual ports, all the games were programmed from scratch for the Saturn! Sonic can spin-dash in sonic 1!

|
Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels
|
FPS / Strategy
|
A game that combines gameplay of Doom and acts similar to the old Aliens vs. Predators game. The only thing though is you have a squad with you in which you can customize your gear and fight creatures in a struggle for survival in a the Warhammer 40,000 like universe.

Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dreams
|
Fighting
|
First entry in the alpha/zero series. Very good has alot of new characters not seen in Street Fighter II and has great 2d graphics. Also on PS1, Game Boy Color, Arcade, PSN, and PS2 via the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology collection.
|
|
|
Street Fighter Alpha 2
|
Fighting
|
The story of Street Fighter's origins is told through Ryu fighting an evil sonmabitch named Akuma. You also get some Final Fight characters thrown in for some reason. It's on the Alpha Anthology Collection on the PS2 as well as the PS1, and SNES for a weird reason. Get it if you love street fighter and button mashin' Named Street Fighter ZERO 2 in Japan. Better name if you ask me since it's a prequel. Alpha is the first letter in the greek alphabet, and is thus a fine name for a prequel.
|

Street Fighter Collection
|
Fighting
|
A collection of Street Fighter games. Probably the only explanation I can give, but still awesome because of that.

The Legend of Oasis
|
Action RPG
|
Successor and Prequel to Beyond Oasis on the Genesis/Mega Drive. Has similar concepts of utilizing elemental spirits.
|

|
Three Dirty Dwarves
|
Beat 'em up
|
A rather silly beat 'em up where you control three dwarves, each with unique abilities, as you fight through various levels in a rather silly environment/world. The art style is pretty awesome.

Virtua Fighter Remix

|
Same as the original, but with more polygon improvements, texture mapping, and improved gameplay.
|
|
|
Virtua Fighter 2
|
Fighting
|
It has better graphics, models, more players and stages than the first game (hey, it's a fighter, of course the sequels improve upon the prequels). Also has a port on the Genesis, if you like 2D fighting ports.
|
|
|
Virtua Fighter Kids
|
Fighting
|
Cutesy Virtua Fightan. Just what you'd expect from the series. Supposedly, it was actually made to test a new facial engine at the time, but was entertaining enough to become its own game. A bit more upbeat than 2 in style, music, and gameplay.
|
|
|
Virtual On: Cyber Troopers
|
3D Fighter
|
This game is the shit! Take control of a handful of robots and unleash the fury!!! Each robot has a unique arsenal of weapons to demolish your opponent in an awesome 3D fighter. In order for them to port this to the Saturn they had to get rid of crap like framerate and resolution, but don't let that stop you.
Even so, if you can't find the arcade version of this game, then this will do nicely.
