I for one was importing games from Japan so I couldn't understand their reasoning. I actually pushed the saturn at my store that's probably why they liked visiting the store it's because of them I was able to get the final four games that were released at the end of the Saturn's life you know them as panzer dragoon saga, burning rangers,shining force 3, and house of the dead. Out of all the reps such as Nintendo and Sony they were my favorite.

I think it might be the simplicity of play, and the background music just makes this such an inviting and relaxing game. And it also happens to be a great competitive party game, we sometimes make wagers on shots.

@@DeathToJihad It's true that some are but that's not the point. It's the childhood memories we have that's associated with these games and the desire to play them again. When those games turn prohibitively expensive to get back you kick yourself for ever letting them go in the first place. Like many other collectors I'm trying to hunt down the games I had as a kid as well as expand my collection overall. Many of us realized that we would regret selling off our old games to get the new releases after some or even a lot of these games had already been lost to us. We realized replacing them would be an enormous and possibly expensive task. I personally stopped selling my games off during the PS1 era but others took a bit longer. Looking up these games now and seeing that they're more expensive than ever ( especially for systems like the Saturn) is a real kick to the gut. For a lot of us collecting is about re-experiencing childhood memories and even sharing these with our children. Not so we can say "Yeah, I got this $500 game sitting on my shelf at home."

I kinda feel you man, except i could buy everything again later. Keep looking out, you can get the console itself for not THAT much and at least some games are halfway affordable. Funnily enough, i sold my SNES with like 5 games to buy my saturn, used and pretty much at the end of it's lifetime. Everyone had a Playstation or an N64 back then, so i figured i could always play those with them, i wanted the console i couldn't play anywhere else. In the long run, i'm happy i did it, because obvious reasons. I bought Panzer Dragoon Saga on launch day and it still sits proudly on my shelf, and Panzer Dragoon Zwei even got played for the first time by my sister and her husband a few weeks back, and both were so hooked that they had to play it through.

My mom worked as a cell phone dealer (this was early 90s so it was a big deal then) in 2 different malls. One of her stores was right next to an "Electronics Boutique" the other was 3 stores down from a "Software ETC". Needless to say, when I'd have to go with her when she worked night shift, and stay as a kid I'd be in those stores and the arcades. I eventually pre-ordered a dreamcast in 1998 but I had the Saturn before. Marcus was the name of the manager at the Software ETC and he told me to wait a week and the Saturn games would be cheap. Well, they were. I got so many games for ~$100 (My lawn mowing money). I even had doubles of some titles. About a month after that, Marcus came into my mom's store with another one of his guys with a rolling cart and 2 big cardboard boxes. They were full of Saturn games. He asked me if I wanted them and to give him an offer. We left that day with all those games for $150. I had to borrow money from my mom. I guess they weren't selling even on closeout, so he just took what he could for them since they were already considered a loss. There was every rare game in there you could think of. I still have 10 sealed copies of PDS from that day. MKR, MMX4, MM8, etc... This story isn't a unique one either. These games aren't that rare. People just hoard them and mess with the "market".

Resellers helped sparked the expensive prices we see today for consoles like the Saturn, the PC Engine, and the SNES. They are also slowly doing it for the Genesis too.

The pricing is a result of the Saturn's overall failure in the market, especially here in the UK. Pretty much every PAL game released in 1998, sells for crazy money now.

Really? I thought the Saturn only failed in the U.S.? I didn't know it failed in the U.K. as well.

Another key strategy for collectors is to be patient when scouring Ebay for finds. Every once in a while, you will find a rare title for a very low price that somehow gets ignored by bidders. I also recommend buying “disc only” titles, whoch may be notably cheaper. I bought a disc copy of Worldwide Soccer 98 for $10, while the boxed copy goes for $40. If you see a bargain like that, go for it. Finally, don’t forget that CD-R is an option, especially for super rare classics like Powerslave. Keep looking to collect your library, but don’t miss out on playing old videogames. This also applies to fan translations such as Shining Force 3 Trilogy, Policenauts and Sakura Wars.

Some of the games you mentioned like Power Slave or SOTN, I can't believe they hiked the fuck up prices overtime. They were fairly cheap something like between $45 to $65 pre-internet talks about them, this is amazing.

*Guardian Heroes* - like so many Treasure games - is best known for its amazing 2D character control, super precise collision/hitboxes/ability interaction, creative enemies and boss encounters, and outstanding co-op play. The 6-player vs. mode with a massive roster of playable characters that you unlock in the campaign is a sweet cherry on top, and the game's multi-plane 2D adds immensely to the strategy in this battle mode. If your first GH experience was on Xbox using the Xbox 360 controller's absolutely disgusting d-pad, you didn't quite enjoy it as intended - and your perception of control and gameplay was likely compromised.

Don't forget *Hyper Duel* - a beyond perfect arcade port (with extra stuff for home). It's a horizontal shooter by Technosoft, I believe their 2nd or 3rd arcade title, and the Saturn port feels really beefy and powerful, like a thoroughbred arcade shmup from the era. Has the legendary developer's typically stylish menus, HUD, and overall strong level, weapon, and enemy design. Worth tracking down.
