It was '95 or '96, I can't really remember which, and it was sitting all alone on demo at K'Mart. It was desolated around it. On it, was the legendary Nights. Played that game for 2 hours straight (my eyes were completely bloodshot) I was so hooked.

I actually waited to buy it a long while later, though. I guess in '97.

Initially it was Virtua Fighter and Virtua Cop. Those games looked awsome back in Christmas of '94. I played them at the arcade until 2000, when I bought my Saturn and had it modded. By that time KOF '95 and other 2d games had my interest, as did the relatively low cost of import saturn games.

 No one regrets getting one, do they?


My bank balance does.

it was $30 at funcoland in like 1999. i got it with daytona usa, virtua fighter 2, and virtua cop (i picked them individually, i didn't get the 3 in 1 deal) for a dollar each. i put it away for around 3 years, then when i got back into gaming, i pulled it out, downloaded some games, and was completely blown away by what i had been missing. what a fantastic system.


Same here to the letter almost.

Shining Force ... I'd played all the games in the series except for the Saturn ones (SF3, SW, and StHA)...

And emulation was just too damn slow... So I went ahead and bought one.... damn good decision, if I do say so myself. =)

My first play of a Saturn was in Myer where they had Gex set up. I was a kid with a megadrive at the time so to me, Gex was amazing.

But the purchase of my Saturn came not from that, but from DAYTONA USA.

My dad and I always used to go to TimeZone and other various arcades to play Daytona, we just loved it. So when the Saturn came out we had to get one. As you can guess Daytona Usa Was my first game. My dad also got Clockwork Knight with it so my sister would have something to play.

hmm... that was a long time ago now. I dont have that Saturn anymore. It was a first model Saturn and for some reason my dad returned it and exhanged it when the second model came out. There was something actually wrong with it but i cant remember.

I complained about the revised controller though. i liked the original!

:banana gotta love that dancing banana
