The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Shellshock may not be groundbreaking, but its simple and entertaining gameplay offers a decent burst of enjoyment for those willing to stick around long enough. It’s a flawed but enjoyable shooter that stands apart from more serious simulation games just enough to make it stand out. If you haven’t played this one yet, give it a chance and see if it grows on you.
A European exclusive, Swagman presents fun and engaging platforming action that Saturn fans will appreciate. It’s not the best game out there, but it has enough variety and creativity to keep you playing. If you’re able to find a copy for less than its high asking price, Swagman is definitely a good game to add to your Saturn library.
Saturn’s final year saw some amazing games, including the long-awaited third installment in the beloved Shining Force series. Despite only releasing one of its three scenarios outside Japan, Sega and Camelot Software Planning managed to give fans an excellent 32-bit entry that remains a fan favorite to this day. This is not one to be missed.
Sonic and friends are off to the races in a game that’s fun but flawed. From its memorable presentation to its simple gameplay, Sonic R is a title that doesn’t do anything special but that can tend to grow on you if you give it a chance. Beyond its infamous soundtrack, however, its underachieved potential is what makes it memorable. Still, it is fun to run around for a while, especially with a friend.
Sega took its Virtua Fighter formula to another level with Fighting Vipers, a game that deserves more respect and attention. The Saturn version did an excellent job of bringing the arcade action home intact, and it even added some new features that make this a definitive title for any fighting game fan’s library.
