Saturn Just got a Sega Saturn! First time ownership thread.

It's technically imperfect because it isn't an original anyway?

So, I finally am taking the time to respond here. There’s a little damage, but my bigger issue is the giant P that the previous owner put on it in permanent marker.

This is… a little annoying. Shame too, since everything else about this copy (aside from the disc) is in lovely shape for a U.S. game.

Games found here in the U.S. are usually in pretty poor shape, and/or are loose. Many folks don’t take very good care of their games here, sadly.

When you're talking about 30 year-old items that originally shipped in what might be the most fragile packaging ever, that doesn't look too bad. I had new copies of stuff in the 90s that shipped to the store in cases that had cracks or broken hinges. You might be able to remove that P without damaging the cover with rubbing alcohol if you're really careful. Not sure about the disc itself, though.

I just took the time to go through the arcade mode of X-Men V.S. Street Fighter tonight. Apocalypse is some nonsense, but it’s all really a matter of getting over onto his right side, smashing drones before they can hit you, and heavy sweep spamming when you have downtime (or aiming for the head if you’re playing Storm). I was super excited to see the battle between both of your player characters at the very end of the game, as that had never been spoiled for me!

The team I used for my run was Ken with color 1 and Zangief with color 3 for most of my run. But, with Apocalypse being so powerful, Ken teamed up with Storm (color 1) to beat him, before beating her and getting his ending.


Ken has a PlayStation. I’m playing on a Saturn. This feels like a slap in the face.

Taking a second look, it seems like it’s a fusion of the PS1 and Saturn, with the large cartridge sticking out the top.
