Ah, I really want to get the Discworld games for my Saturn, they can be quite pricey on eBay though. Need to get Guardian Heroes at some point as well. _________________ Check out my blog RGO below, latest post now up!

Interesting how cheap? Would be great to get my hands on a copy, although the postage from Australia will no doubt be the same as buying it in the UK? _________________ Check out my blog RGO below, latest post now up!

Any ideas about the graphic setup in SSF? Games look just terrible (too pixelated!), worse than on original console.
Any setup?
I'm afraid that they look exactly that way on a real system. The pixels just get blurred together by the television (assuming that it's a CRT; flatscreen televisions usually have some kind of scaling algorithm that just makes everything look smeary). The Saturn did have a high-resolution mode, but not every game used it.
Some emulators render 3D graphics at higher resolutions with the host computer's graphics card, but I don't know of any good Saturn emulators with that feature. (Yabause does it, but its compatibility is pretty bad.) _________________ The most depressing thing in the world.

Some awesome games there. I have all of them except Marvel vs. Streetfighter, X-Men vs. Streetfighter and Sega Ages collection.
Tomb Raider can be a bit buggy (worst on level 4 - Tomb Of Qualapec), especially if you save the game midway through a level - sometimes keys reappear and if you move the blocks into certain positions (on level 4) before you save it and later reload it in you can go through the floor (the game saves the graphical position of the blocks, but fails to set the collision of them correctly!).
Having said that, it is an amazing game with some cool animation sequences (e.g. Lara on her bike).
Nights is amazing... especially the way the creatures evolve over time. If you love this, I highly recommend finding Xmas Nights (just as good but with extra special extras).
Oh, I highly recommend Burning Rangers. It has a fabulous anime style intro animation (with catchy music) and is fun to play (once you get the hang of the controls).

What i have found while surfing other forums is that the Saturn has a strong following and collectors seem very interested in JPN imports,my own favourites are mostly the old classics though.
Duke nukem 3d
Tombraider
Resident Evil (Bio Hazard)
Panzer Dragoon Series
Space Hulk
Metal Slug
Radiant Silvergun
