    Top 20 US:
    1. Panzer Dragoon Zwei
    2. Saturn Bomberman
    3. Shining Force III: Scenario 1
    4. Darius Gaiden
    5. Panzer Dragoon Saga
    6. Galactic Attack
    7. Sega Rally Championship
    8. Burning Rangers
    9. Fighters Megamix
    10. Magic Knight Rayearth
    11. Dragon Force
    12. Panzer Dragoon
    13. Virtua Fighter 2
    14. Three Dirty Dwarves - Appaloosa Interactive
    15. Dragon Force
    16. Nights into Dreams…
    17. Virtua Cop 2
    18. Mega Man X4
    19. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
    20. Virtual On

    I would remove these:
    Astal - A slow and somewhat generic platformer which lacks thought out mechanics tailored to its level designs
    House of the Dead, The - Not that great of a port, so it's pretty outdated.
    Sonic 3D Blast - Just for the fact that it's a poor substitute for a proper sequel for the Saturn.
    Winter Heat - Meh, it's sports.

    Here is my personal top 10:


    . Daytona USA - First off, not the Championship Version. I'm talking about the original launch game Daytona. Ok, look.... I know this game has it's graphical problems. The clipping, the pop in, etc, etc. Still, if you play this game, I mean... if you really play this game, you will see the beauty that this game provides. I think it's an audio/visual tour de force, even with all the graphical problems. This is one case where quality gameplay overpowers the glitches.

    2. Darius Gaiden - Amazing shooter. People that are sleeping on this game are nuts!

    3. Sega Rally Championship - Nobody can argue about this one. Gotta love the road textures on some of the mountain roads where it has concrete. Looks really sweet.

    4. Panzer Dragoon - I feel quilty ranking this 4th. I should probably have this higher...

    5. Virtua Fighter - Just like Daytona USA, I'm talking about the original launch version, not Virtua Fighter Remix. Remix does not stand the test of time. It looks like a texture mapped retrocity, lol. The original flat shaded launch version, even with all the clipping and glitches holds up after all these years. TRUST ME. Play both of them back to back and tell me I'm wrong.

    6. Astal - Astal has it's share of problems, it's not a perfect game, but it also provides some of the most beautiful art seen on the Saturn during it's lifespan.

    7. Galactic Attack - Man, if only we could include all the great Japanese shmups. To me, Galactic Attack is the second best Saturn shmup released stateside.

    8. Clockwork Knight - This is a pretty simple game, but I really like the bosses on all the levels. I think this game is a bit underrated. It's not Sonic 2 or Kid Chameleon or anything, but it's still a solid platformer.

    9. Burning Rangers - This is one of the last Saturn games that really impressed me.

    10. Virtua Fighter 2 - I'm not that high on the Saturn version of VF2. I just think it looks a bit too fake. I prefer the original with all it's flaws. Still, you have to give them credit for trying to squeeze that game onto the Saturn.



    Game That Needs to Bounce:

    Sonic 3D Blast - The only reason this game is getting any love, is because this is the closest we got to having a Sonic game on the Saturn. This game is not that good. Not top 20 good anyways.

    Is Tempest 2000 any good on the Saturn? Does it control well? I've never played any version of the game but it looks interesting (I'm looking to add to my domestic collection and I am a fan of shooters...).

    I wanted to share my Saturn appreciation with this thread. Thanks, as always, to the Santulli Family and everyone here at Digital Press for keeping the flame alive.

    My apologies for not playing by the rules and sticking to 20 Sega Saturn games. I recently wrote down my "2013 Sega List" of the 20 best Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast games. When it came to the Saturn, however, I couldn't narrow my favorites down, and even when splitting into two lists (US and Japan), it was impossible to give credit to all the great import classics. So I hope you won't mind.

    Here's my Saturn Top 20 (USA), 2013 Edition:

    1 - Virtua Fighter 2
    2 - Sega Rally Championship
    3 - Nights Into Dreams (+Xmas Nights)
    4 - Panzer Dragoon Saga
    5 - Panzer Dragoon Zwei
    6 - Virtua Cop
    7 - World Series Baseball 98
    8 - Worldwide Soccer 97
    9 - Steep Slope Sliders
    10 - Saturn Bomberman

    11 - WipEout
    12 - Virtua Cop 2
    13 - Street Fighter Alpha 2
    14 - Panzer Dragoon
    15 - Fighters Megamix
    16 - Powerslave
    17 - Tempest 2000
    18 - Sega Ages
    19 - Daytona USA
    20 - NBA Action 98

    Now here's my Saturn Top 30 (Import), 2013 Edition (not in any specific order, d'oh):

    Fighting:

    Street Fighter Zero 3
    Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter
    Asuka 120% Burning Fest. Ltd
    Asuka Superstars

    Dodonpachi
    Battle Garegga

    Not sure about the order other than number 1.

    Enemy Zero
    Galactic Attack
    Dragon Force
    Virtua Cop 2
    Panzer Dragoon Saga
    Panzer Dragoon II
    Soukyugurentai
    Lunacy
    Blazing Dragons
    Sega Rally Championship
    Street Fighter Alpha 2
    Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
    Marvel Super Heroes
    Scud: The Disposable Assassin
    D
    Virtual On
    Astal
    Dungeons & Dragons Collection
    Magic Knight Rayearth
    The Mansion of Hidden Souls

    There are tons more I really like, but I probably go back to these most often... though D&D will probably drop off due to the PS3 release...

    Although I've never played it and only ever watched gameplay footage, why has nobody mentioned Mr. Bones? It's not the most original game and perhaps it has a lot of elements from other games but is pretty cool in a way plus it has music composed by Ronnie Montrose in it! The game is a rather cliche but interesting take on "One guy against a mass of evil"; a vampire (or whatever he is) brings many skeletons back to life as his slaves (red eyed skeletons) but Mr. Bones is blue-eyed so somehow he didn't come under that spell. You play as Mr. Bones and the gameplay varies from stage to stage including running from the evil skeletons, playing guitar and (literally) telling jokes. It's interesting to me anyway but I'm not interested in fighting games or FPS games anymore so it's scratching a lot out of my to play list leaving games such as this to play instead.

    Default The Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest

    The Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest was one of my favorites, and it wasn't released for the Japanese Saturn…and finding a copy from NA or Europe is really not possible(around 100$, 70£)…it was released for the Super Famikom in Japan, I just first played it on the Saturn, and I guess it's stuck there.Click image for larger version.
