Complete European Releases List?

		I'm wondering if someone put together a complete list of the European Saturn games, and, maybe, a list of the Saturn exclusive titles - something like that huge Genesis Game Guide...

		I would assume that GameFAQs would be your best bet.

		Unfortunately, your assumption is wrong, because none of the faqs available cover this topic. I just bought a PAL Saturn and now I'd like to start looking for games, and I'm mainly interested in Saturn exclusive games (as an example, I own the Daytona USA and Bug! PC games, and I'm sure there must be a ton of Saturn games that were released later on PSX or PC).

		My bad, the 255k document at the top had Europe Software A-Z in it's table of contents. Just looked at it now. "------------- --------- 16.4 European Software ---------------------- Under Construction."

		Eh, that's OK. I've found a list of PAL titles: http://www.digitpress.com/archives/arc00113.htm... Now the problem is: which of these are exclusives, and which are the best? I'm mostly interested in RPGs, but I also like good games in general (for Dreamcast, my favourite games are Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, Skies Of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online, THPS2, Soul Calibur, and many more).

		Which exclusive games are you talking about? PAL Saturn or Saturn in general? I think that Keio 2 Flying Squadron was only released in english to Europe, but that's about it. There are several PAL 'optimized' (full screen, full speed) versions of games too. As far as Saturn exclusives go, I'd remove the obvious ones from the list and then plug the remaining ones into a search engine and see what references you come up with. It would be a long and slow process, but I can't think of anything else. As for the best ones, there are several 'name your favourite Saturn games' threads already. Try reading some of those.

		If you mean "exclusive" = "only on Saturn" there are really some "must-have" games : Mr Bones, Guardian Heroes, Die Hard Arcade Djidjo

		I can't think why you'd mention Mr Bones

		You're right, by "exclusive" I meant games that were released only on Saturn. In this respect, Panzer Dragoon isn't exclusive, but Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Panzer Dragoon Saga are... Let me show you my "wish list". Please tell me whether any of these games are from the "to avoid at all cost" category... I've looked for reviews on those games, but there still are some games on which I haven't read anything (noted with a ?) Panzer Dragoon Saga Shining Force 3 Shining the Holy Ark Shining Wisdom Blazing Dragons Dark Savior The Story of Thor 2 S Burning Rangers Mystaria Realms of Lore Micro Machines V3 Deep Fear Guardian Heroes Nights into dreams Panzer Dragoon Panzer Dragoon Zwei Steep Slope Sliders ? Sonic R The Mansion of Hidden Souls ? Three Dirty Dwarves ? Mr. Bones Gun Griffon Clockwork Knight Clockwork Knight 2 Darklight Conflict ? Dragon Force Enemy Zero Shinobi X Skeleton Warriors Night Warriors Darkstalkers Darius Gaiden Fighters Megamix Lost Vikings 2 Mass Destruction Resident Evil Atlantis ? D ? (is this the same as the PC game?) House of the dead Last Bronx Sonic 3D - Flickies' Island Sonic Jam Athlete Kings Baku Baku Thank you a lot,

		Those are all good games, with the possible exception of Skeleton Warriors and Mantion of Hidden Souls is a bit shallow. As far as I am aware though Micro Machines V3 was never released on the Saturn.
