Sonic Jam acquired!
Only 11 more US titles to have them all.
After receiving my Sega Saturn in the mail, (after a long, cold 23-day ship from Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, Canada) I brought it to a friend’s house to show him some games and the system itself. To my dismay, a game I had tried earlier that day refused to work! Nights Into Dreams, although…
A tutorial similar to this one I found long ago helped me save my 32X from cart-reading-error doom! I love to see people post tutorials like this, because not only does it show others HOW to fix old consoles, it might give someone the idea to try and salvage a console instead of tossing out a perfectly good console that only needed a minor fix. Thanks ScreenHead!
Saturn US Titles Needed as of 1/14/13
I’ve had a few folks ask about what titles I’m needing and why to have a complete US Sega Saturn collection.
The titles I’m currently needing:
1. Albert Odyssey
2. Bomberman
3. Burning Rangers
4. Contra: Legacy of War
5. Dragon Force
6. House of the Dead
7. Magic Knight Rayearth
8. Megaman 8
9. Sega Ages
10. Shining Force 3
11. Shining Wisdom
12. Sonic Jam
The why is simple: they are all hella expensive. Some weren’t a year ago, but are now. I am on a budget, and try to get the best deals possible, while still getting mint, complete games. I’m constantly watching eBay and all other good online sources, as well as all my local vendors, for a good deal to come about. Any leads or offers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who has sent in messages asking, and a colossal thanks to anyone who can help me out completing this collection!
Excellent Sega Saturn pullout ad showcasing a hot lineup!
Still love seeing these. I remember these from the old Sega Visions I had.
An updated pic of the Sega Saturn & CD collection!
Earthworm Jim is valiantly protecting the space that will be taken up by the final 12 Saturn games needed to have all the US titles.
CD-32x is complete, but regular Sega CD is only about halfway to completion.
Only 12 more titles needed to have all the US Sega Saturn releases!
Street Fighter Collection also makes the 1,500 games mark for my collection!
Mail day! Sega Saturn Derby edition only 20,000 made. These are so awesome! I am in love.
Leave it to psigamer to show me something I don’t have and post pictures that make me want it really badly!
Brilliant words from a brilliant man in a brilliant game based on a brilliant movie based on a brilliant game.

Second Row: Atari Jaguar, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2 (slim).

Had lots of great games waiting on me from eBay when I got home from DragonCon. This brings the Saturn collection much closer to completion, as I only need 17 US retail releases to have them all!
The Sega Saturn, Sega CD, and Dreamcast collections as of 8/14/12.
Only 20 more Saturn games until I have every US release.
