To be honest with ya, those are some kick ASS! games and a kick ASS! price for everything. Resident and Loaded, all these games ROCK! Virtua Fighter 2, hell yeah, a classic :D I hope you enjoy everything, this is a pretty cool package deal. Nice find :D
Take Care,

I would agree this is a good deal with some good games
Daytona USA is lots of fun and so is Sega Rally

That's a great deal for $45!
If I remember correctly, steep slope sliders is one of the few games that makes use of the Saturn clock. I don't recall exactly what, but I want to say that it mimics your real time so if its night time in your geographic region then it's also evening in the game. SSS has also gotten good reviews for it's game play. Good racing games and Loaded is a decent 2 player "blow sh!t up" game.
Certainly enough variety to keep you playing until you can pick up a few games that are more to your liking. 8-)
Are all of the games in the original long cases?
That's a great deal and there are quite a few titles that are awesome. Virtua Fighter 2 is one of my favorite fighting games of all time. You might not appreciate it now, but back in 1995 Vf2 was one of the, if not thee most beautiful title on any home system. At least as far as 3D goes. I remember picking it up the first day of its release for $70. Yes $70 bucks. I don't know why it was so expensive. I picked it up at babages i think. Enjoy Saturn, it's an awesome system! Actually the best in my opinion!

You shall not be disappointed with this purchase my friend. The saturn has oodles of gaming pleasure and you got a nice starting collection of games there.

A. Need for Speed is also quite fun. 2nd best racer (after Daytona CCE) on the system.
B. Good price on the package.
C. Fun Fact about Steep Slope Sliders: The abbreviation to 'Triple S' (SSS), which is displayed somewhere in the game, used to amuse my cousin and I to no end. You see, that was our abbreviation for the usual morning routine--shit, shower & shave. You know how it is.

And when you pick up a 3-in-1 or ST Key, you're going to have a lot of great import games to choose from as well.

So good to see you, Mr. Bargora.
I got a Saturn fairly recently and though it came with an Action Replay 3 in 1 or whatever they are called, I decided to open the system up and rig the 'switchless' mod as suggested by optic_85:

It's very nice, now all I have to do is track down Parodius and the like.. after I've thoroughly played through what I have here now.

Well... to each his/her own, but that's a good deal with some good games. Just three or four games would go for what you paid on eBay. Welcome to the club and I suggest you stay away from the Japanese games. They are all crappy!! Especially the ones I'm looking for. ;)

Likewise, Sir Sausage.
By the way, have ebay prices for the Japanese shooters declined in the last year or so? Or are Parodii still going for $40+? Unfortunately, I found it to be an expensive habit to pick up, that JP shmup collecting thing. (But one day I'll pick up Batsugun and Strikers 1945 I and consider the major canon pretty much finished.) Now I just need time to play them...
Oooh...switchless. 8-)
