Anyone on here ever had or played it? Wasn't it supposed to be the PS1's big rival?

When it came out, it was 399 bucks. And, like you said, it had to compete with the PS1, which had more games and a cheaper price tag.

I doubt many people on here have ever touched one.

I actually think it was the other way around. SEGA was an established video-game company at the time, while Sony was just getting its feet wet.

Unfortunately for SEGA, the PlayStation wound up being cheaper and had better games, so it wasn't much of a competition.

I seen a Saturn in a pawn shop a few weeks back for £15 with a few games. Still didn't buy it though.

In a semi related note, anyone play the mega drive version of virtua fighter 2?

Ah Sega Saturn. Wasn't that the one with the music player that would hide the controls and spaceship or something would fly around. It was good while it lasted. Right up there with the 32x attachment. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Best part about Saturn was it's great 2d games, RPGs, and of course, the music player. I think the Vocal Remover still works very well with some CDs.

I would love to play my Saturn right now, but when you turn it off, the internal memory is wiped, and I'm too lazy to ebay a memory card.

You need a new battery, it takes about 15 seconds to replace and is incredibly simple to do. Can't remember which size code the battery is, but it's one of those flat round ones.
