    ( Not sure if this is in the right place but this is the nearest I could find, so move it if it's wrong ;) )

    Just wondering if anyone actually ever played these, and if they have any games to donate or sell, and if not, which ones they recommend.


    Thanks :)

    You're a year too late, i could have been your guy. I used to have a Sega Megadrive with about 75 games, and a Sega Mega CD with 12 games. I sold it all last year, i got tired of consoles. I also sold my NES, and my N-64, together with about 30 games.

    Among my favourite Sega games were Earhworm Jim, Boogerman, and the EA Sports games.

    I kinda regret i did that now, even though i never played any of them anymore.

    I sold my games, too, so sorry.
    But I can tell you, that "Shining Force 2" on the Mega Drive is a great game! If you like a phantasy strategie games you will love this one. Also good was "Landstalker", although it was kinda strange.
    If you want, you can also download some roms ( only for testing of course ;) )

    Can you tell me if it's possible to download games for the Saturn onto CD for playing? And if so, where do I go to download them?

    [​IMG] I love the Sega Saturn. Yeah, sure, it wasn't too good for 3D games, but it could process some seriously good 2D stuff. As such, it had some of the best ever beat-em-ups, which are my favourite type of game. I'm afraid selling them would be out of the question, but here are some recommendations:

    Street Fighter Collection (3 versions of the best game EVER, what more could you want?)

    Marvel Super Heroes (A fighting game featuring some of the most famous Marvel Comics characters)

    Virtual On (A weird robot/mech combat game, takes a while to get into, but is well worth it)

    Wipeout (A futuristic racing game)

    Virua Fighter 2 (The Saturn version of Tekken - harder to get into in my opinion, but addictive as hell)

    X-Men: Children Of The Atom (The prequel to Marvel Super Heroes, absolutely gorgeous graphics)

    Golden Axe: The Duel (Golden Axe meets Street Fighter - a dream come true!)

    Sega Rally Championship (Another racing game, an absolute classic)

    Hexen (A fantasy-based shoot-em-up in the same vein as Doom)

    That's all I can think of for now, but I know there are more. Happy hunting.

    Nights. That is supposed to be a great game on Saturn. When the emulator comes out, this is one "must-buy" game -to me at least.

    I never saw any of them on the internet. But I would try it with a P2P software like Kazaa ...

    Well I picked up 2 games for each today, Tomb Raider and Magic Carpet for the Saturn, and Sonic 3D and The Lion King for the Mega Drive, costing between £1.99 ( Magic Carpet) and £11.99 (Sonic 3D) I shall tell you how I get on with them! :)
